Top 10 Underrated Animated Disney Films


Cinderella might be splendid beauty and
the beast’ might be perfect as the Sun
but Disney has a whole host of films
equally as grand that just don’t get the
credit young lady you almost definitely
not accompanying us welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 underrated
animated disney films for this list
we’ve looked at any feature animated by
Disney that hasn’t received the fanfare
that it perhaps should have but we will
get that stuff will be what ha ha the
following are great films that
consistently get overlooked made the
best darn good teacher win number 10
dinosaur when I’m meant to survive oh
yes we were we’re here aren’t we and how
dare you wish that good fortune by
simply giving up the fifth highest
grossing movie of 2000 and the year’s
most financially successful animated
feature upon release dinosaur was
praised for its pioneering visuals of a
prehistoric setting sorry please I can’t
take out there too many oh come on we
got so many old sites however in other
aspects the film fared indifferently
with critics it’s writing failed to WoW
as much as the aesthetics what an
unfortunate blemish
despite that dinosaurs should surely be
better remembered this post meteor
imagining of Earth was an animation
game-changer
the CGI / real-world blend breathe new
life into the genre and the opening
scene still ranks as one of Disney’s
best number 9 the Aristocats a film
noted for being the last feature
approved by Walt Disney himself before
the animators death in 1966 the
Aristocats is more than just a pleasing
play on words with Eva Gabor taking the
leading role as Duchess a quick guiding
that was very nice the film follows a
family of upper-class felines as they
seek to evade Edgar the greedy Butler of
course madam how could anyone forget him
set in Paris there’s a certain genocide
qualms about this film and it’s
characters Bravo
very good you are a great time
consistently overshadowed by 101
Dalmatians
she’s like a spider waiting for the kill
Roger
Cruella De Vil
as Disney’s domesticated classic these
cats deserve their cream and we’re gonna
give it to them then presto breakfast
Pollock are number eight Brother Bear
you are going to get a whole new
perspective on things who you see in
black and white or color a spiritual
saunter through rural USA Brother Bear
was originally conceived as a North
American version of The Lying Game
it’s not as easy as it looks I should
watch what I do okay
get him back seat or something I look
like a hundred feet a tough act to
follow
the film also struggled to stand out
against Finding Nemo
the Pixar effort released in the same
year a heartwarming tale in its own
right however brother bear brightens up
the Disney formula like few other films
I mean I’m not a bear
I hate bears well gee eh you’re one big
beaver come kidney he nice story is a
life lesson for all little kids and some
big kids – while coda is just cuter than
cute I don’t want brag or nothing but I
got some moves
number seven The Princess and the Frog
so what now I reckon you want a kiss
kissing would be nice yes a modern take
on various traditional tales The
Princess and the Frog was on the
receiving end of three Oscar nominations
not bad for honey- you’ve landed
however it’s another example of an
excellent movie denied the limelight by
Pixar who released up in 2009 as well
I send you a postcard from Paradise Oh
nevertheless critics ranked The Princess
and the Frog as a turning point in
Disney’s history as it assured in a
so-called neo-renaissance at the start
of the 2010 I can read your future
I can change it around some too I look
deep into your heart and soul you do
have a solo to learn make your wildest
dreams come true it saw the studio
return to traditional animation and
kick-started a string of high-profile
highly acclaimed animated movies not to
mention it was the flick that introduced
Disney’s first african-american princess
and boy did she make an impact watch you
just as pretty as a Magnolia and may
number 6 Meet the Robinsons to a story
that zaps
all over the space-time continuum our
next movie is snappy surreal and a
timely break from typically Disney
storytelling strategies yep five years
ago dad wakes up in the middle of the
night in a cold sweat wants to build a
time machine so he starts work in we’re
talking plans we’re talking scale mops
we’re talking four types that’s a
prototype the very first or what’s left
me it’s the first Disney film released
following a Disney Pixar merger which
placed John Lasseter as chief creative
officer and his eye for comedic detail
is clear throughout your dog wearing
glasses oh because his insurance won’t
pay for contacts Meet the Robinsons is a
potentially tragic orphan story turned
into an inspiring uplifting tale well
that depends on you nothing is set in
stone you got to make the right choices
it’s cast of original characters well
and truly shook up the Disney status quo
why aren’t you ceasing the boy number 5
treasure planet got the makings of
greatness in you but you gotta take the
helm and charge your own course stick to
it no matter the squaws the original
ideas for treasure planet were actually
pitched alongside those for the Little
Mermaid the movie credited by most as
beginning Disney’s late 80s revival did
think they know everything you give them
an inch they swim all over you
however Treasure Planet was put on hold
for over 10 years and when it was
released it received an undeservedly
modest response a futuristic rethink of
Robert Louis Stevenson’s timeless pirate
legend it features Jim as the rebel hero
well worth rooting for you know what
this means it means that all that
treasure is only a boat ride away a
gaggle of memorable side characters I’m
sorry my memory isn’t what it used to be
I lost my mind and silver as the bad guy
with a big heart didn’t your PAP ever
teach you to pick your fights a bit more
carefully shiver me timbers it should be
a classic got the map were dead
if we try to leave we’re dead if we stay
here my god let me get my god number for
Atlantis the lost Empire
I won’t find Atlantis on my own maybe if
I have to rent a rowboat
congratulations Milo this is exactly
what I wanted to hear another animation
centered on an ambitious voyage to a
legendary place Atlantis has become a
cult favorite among Disney fans
the story of Milo thatch and his
deciphering of the Shepherd’s Journal
and journey to atlantis’ is an
action-adventure tale the likes of which
live-action cinema had been aching to
accomplish for years however Atlantis
was the first foray into science fiction
that Disney ever made it’s beautiful
hello I gotta hand it to you really came
through a movie perhaps best remembered
for the comic book style of Mike Manola
it was deliciously fresh and
fantastically dynamic it has you got
that right number three the rescuers
down under the boy needs our help is in
trouble boy you mean little kid kinda
boy he was kidnapped kidnapped oh that
that’s awful the second film to feature
within Disney’s late 80s Early 90s
Renaissance the rescuers down under is
continually ranked under the other films
of that period The Little Mermaid
smashed expectations while titles like
Aladdin and the Lion King only further
established the newly rejuvenated brand
I didn’t make it all the way through
third grade for nothing
but this movie much like the original
rescuers failed to fill theaters in
quite the same way they all come in with
a whimper and leave with a green some
parts though have always been held in
the highest of regard particularly the
flight scene
a kid clinging to an eagle flying
through Australian skies it’s animated
awesomeness number two
the Great Mouse Detective basslet Baker
Street Michael Phillip we continue with
the rodent II theme for our runner up
and a Sherlock Holmes adaptation unlike
any other what do you make of it Oh
Ratigan’s up to something a crime of the
most sinister nature no doubt released
in 1986 the Great Mouse Detective saw
Victorian England awash with talking
rats and mice what did you call me hope
he didn’t mean it professor it was just
a slip of the tongue I am NOT correct
the film was more important to Disney
than its reputation would suggest though
it came at a time when faith in the
brand was waning
but after relative success it encouraged
producers and management to back future
projects setting the stage for the
massively successful movies that
followed is always a chance doctor it’s
more than Elementary it’s excellent
exit elementary my dear Dolson before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions hey be a snap kid I’m
an expert at these things then I have
moment of clarity
if Zangief is good guy we’ll crush man
skull like sparrows egg between ties and
I say Zangief you are bad guy but this
does not mean you’re bad guy it’s a
vacation with me and my best buddy Oh
Donald Duck no silly
with you
it’s not exactly what I had planned but
I’m human and that’s nothing to shake
your tail at number one the Black
Cauldron that Black Cauldron so fetch it
the Black Cauldron an awesome weapon
Dharam when it was released in 1985 the
Black Cauldron proved to be a box office
bomb Oh No the film suffered a box
office loss and severely split the
critics with most dubbing it too dark
too spooky and too slow over time
however the Black Cauldron has finally
built up a fanbase dungeons dragons
swords and woodland battles have made
quite the comeback in 21st century pop
culture thank you thank you thank you
all and this movie has it all it’s set
in the dark ages and was released during
Disney’s own dark period the Horned King
takes the limelight then instructs her
to show me the whereabouts of the Black
Cauldron do you agree with our list fun
facts about food – Larry can’t conjure a
thing for myself which animated film is
still unappreciated what’s that supposed
to mean
