The animated series did the Pheonix Saga better than any other adaptation and did a lot of the characters better than other adaptation too, i.e. - Storm, Gambit, Rogue & Cyclops. Big shoes to fill.
The animated series really had the benefit of being a serialized show, without a set end date. They had the luxury of slowly developing these big character archs and stories. It was also great at taking a few minutes to explain the history of a concept. All pretty difficult to do in a movie.

I also really like "The Wolverine and the X-men" series from 2009.
