I would differentiate between something like King Kong (1933) and Jason and the Argonauts, which combine of stop motion animation and live-action, and purely animated films like The Nightmare before Christmas, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Chicken Run, Coraline, ParaNorman, Frankenweenie, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, Mary and Max, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The LEGO Movie (and The LEGO Batman Movie), A Town Called Panic or The BoxTrolls.
However, if a film has a very high percentage of animation and barely any live-action (like The LEGO Movie), it could arguably be an animated movie. That type of criteria would be why most consider Schindler's List to be a black-and-white film when it contains several colour scenes.
