What is the most underrated Disney movie?
 

What, in your collective opinion, is the most underrated of all the movies in Disney's cannon theactrical library? I'm going to call Rescuers Down Under. It got spanked by Home Alone in 1990, and was already comming off the heels of The Little Mermaid so it was kind of screrwed from the get-go, but it is still one of my favorite animated movies.

A Goofy Movie, not a lot of people remember that was the only movie based on a Disney series next to Duck Tales to get a theatrical release (Goof Troop), Duck Tales' failure at the box office also prevented a Rescue Rangers movie from typing up the series.

A Goofy Movie is awesome. I tend to agree with that. My personal favourite is Hercules, which doesn't seem to get the respect it deserves.

Rescuers Down Under is pretty much the only Disney animated sequel I ever liked. One of the first movies I ever saw in a theater, as well.

Underrated?

I'd say Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Most people don't really think about that one, much, but it really is awesome. It remains exceptionally true to the story, even in maintaining the "sad" ending. Very un-Disney like.

It'd be too easy to just drop my favorite Disney movies at the drop of a hat, but underrated? I can't really think of any underrated movies...

THe first that comes to mind is "Aladdin and the Prince of Thieves"

I don't know how well it was receieved, but I thought it was really well done, as it retained the spirit of the first movie while bringing the series to a satisfying close with Aladdin and Jasmine's wedding.



The Duck Tales movie is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time... I'm surprised it did so poorly at the box office.

All of their TV movie sequels bombed miserablly. Sad affair.

I'd say Emperor's New Groove. That was a very funny and well-paced movie. I even think David Spade did a good job voice acting.

I'd have to say A Goofy Movie aswell because i used to sing the song at then end.:lol: Plus it was pretty good but I never really thought people liked it that much.

I'd have to say "The Black Cauldron." It was the first Disney animated film that got a PG rating due to it's dark story and tone. the original cut of the film was so violent that many scenes had to be cut out. Scenes that were cut from the movie was a scene of the undead "Cauldron Born" killing a person by slicing his neck and torso, scene involving Taran taking the magic sword and slaying his foes while he escapes the Horned King's castle, man being dissolved by mist, and another scene with Princess Eilonwy partially nude as fabric was ripped off of her dress as she is hanging by her hands with Taran and Fflewddur Fflam. I like that at the time Disney made a attempt to appeal to a older audience. Unfortunately, it has been known as Disney's biggest flop.
Also, I think The Black Cauldron had one of the coolest and scariest villains "The Horned King." I think he is one the most overlooked Disney villains maybe because he is too frightening to young kids and parents probably freak out and think he is satanic because he is evil looking and at the end of the movie he performs the ritual by putting corpses into the Cauldron and resurrect them into undead zombies.

I'd say the final fight scene in Sleeping Beauty with malificant could count as a "PG" rating.

Amen to that. I heart this movie and hardly anyone else does so.

I had no idea this was a disney movie.

I'd say Return to Oz or The Duck Tales Movie.

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, I believe. And yes, horrendously underrated mostly because it's never shown on TV.

Awesome image, man. That movie was so demonic, especially the Headless Horseman's laugh.

And I always skip the Wind & the Willows segment. In fact, when I say "always", I mean I've NEVER once sat through it. :ohwell:

And on that day, a DrSpengler was born.

Does this mean I was spawned from the Black Cauldren?

Same here. I loved them both. But if I had to choose, I'd say Sleepy Hollow.


...and speaking of... if anyone remembers... the used to show a halloween special, and they played an instrumental (Flight of the Valkerie??) over clips; demons, live action dancing ghosts... anyone else remember this or know what it's called?

and two days before that a Clerk was born. :D



Goofy Movie 1 and 2 were both good.


And I agree about the two above me...

but I really enjoyed the FIRST Land Before Time.
