But yeah, I used to watch Land Before Time 1 (the GOOD one) all the time when I was a kid.

You know, Disney owns a subsidiary which produces adult movies, which has been kept pretty hush-hush. I would have to say that a good few of those movies are likely under-rated.

On the other hand, I think that a Goofy Movie is severely unrecognized. Max was awsome, and Roxanne was one hot... goof... dog.. thing? Umm... yea...

*ZariusTwo* · 08-06-2006, 10:47 PM

Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

How that Joss Whedon written masterpeice gets lost in the shuffle these days is unbeleivable

A Goofy Movie (Big favorite of me and my brother when we were younger)
Hercules (Haven't heard anything since it came to DVD. Hades was hilarious!)

I thought those movies were not underrated... I thought those movies were actually quite recognized/accepted by the mainstream.

Doesn't change teh fact that they're still classics.

And I liked Titan AE

Well, I never said they were underrated, I was just pointing out that they weren't Disney.

And Titan AE is appreciated more now than it was at the time, which is a shame, as it killed Don Bluth's career. I regret the loss of Don Bluth Productions, as they were always a nice alternative to Disney. As were Rankin Bass, though they folded a loooong time ago.

And hell, hardly any modern Disney flicks can compete with the stuff Rankin-Bass put out like Last Unicorn, the Hobbit and Flight of Dragons.

But I think I'm drifting off topic.

The best Don Bluth film was undoubtably the Secret of Nimh. I also love Furngully, but I think that was made by something like Fai Films or something. i forget.

**Jo Dawn** · 08-08-2006, 07:08 AM

The Last Unicorn?? One of the best movies EVER.

Can't wait for the live action one. I loved the book and want the sequel, also.

Mandi-chan · 08-08-2006, 10:52 AM

My favorite Don Bluth films are Anastasia and All Dogs Go To Heaven.

Anyway, back on topic....

Mine would be:

Goofy Movie

The Great Mouse Detective

and

Oliver and Company

Christopher Lee should totally reprise the role of King Haggard for a live action film. He could do it, easy.

I loved Pete's Dragon....that one does not get alot of love.

and the Black Cauldron....It was just way before it's time

*Drtooth* · 08-11-2006, 01:57 PM

Gotta see this Black Cauldron thing... sounds cool.

I second the following movies:

Ichabod and Toad- Both amazingly wonderful... and the weasles they used in that movie later came up in Roger Rabbit...

EMperor's new Groove- Even with a sequal and a tv series, this didn't get much merchandising recognition. A PVC set is in order. As for the film, it has a wonderfully off-Disney Warner Bros. Classic cartoon sense about it.

Goofy Movie 1 and 2 (though I object to the numerous adverts for ESPN in #2)

and Ducktales

I also want to add Teacher's Pet. Such an off the wall cartoon based on the drawings of one of my favorite illustraitor, didn't even get to be releasd in the Febuary vacation months the other lesser ones based off cartoon shows get released during. Plus, the whole thing clearly parodies the ideal of Disney movies having so many musical numbers (as was the intention of the writers).

I also think Atlantis was underrated as well... not extremely great, but I enjoyed it, especially Vinny.

They did the Hobbit and Flight of Dragons? Those movies were AWESOME. Now I know where to look for them

Now I'm definately drifting off topic lol...

May I ask why the Duck tales movie was not received well? Did it not perform well at the box office or something?

Some series as movies just don't translate into box office successs, TF The Movie even bombed at the box office, despite it now being regarded as a classic,which prompoted every other release like GI Joe and My Little Pony to be released on Videp

IceFlash78 · 08-13-2006, 04:59 PM

I just thought of another underrated Disney movie, or at least, an animated movie that nobody ever talks about.

"The Great Mouse Detective"

Brian · 08-15-2006, 01:11 PM

Me and my bro loved Great Mouse Detective.

I had forgotten about the Ducktales Movie until this thread came up. Another good one.
