I love Bedknobs and Broomsticks, although I love most of the old live action movies. Treasure Island was one of my favorites as a kid, watched it over and over.

I don't think that WALL-E got as much love as it deserved. In fact, a lot of people have never heard of the movie.

Definitely! I was very skeptical before going to this movie. Especially when I heard there was no dialogue for the first 1/3 of the movie. I mean how is that going to work and keep you interested? I was proven absolutely wrong. The story sucked me in from the very beginning and the animation was incredible. Loved WALL-E!

Agree with you on every point. I love this movie!

Excellent movie indeed! And the music is incredible - not a bad song in this one.

Disagree VERY STRONGLY about Bedknobs being the equal of Poppins. NOT EVEN CLOSE. JMHO.
I think Treasure Planet is really pretty darn good. Beautiful animation, great character design, solid story, Long John Silver as a cyborg is a triumph. I'm not sure why it didn't hit. Maybe animated sci-fi films just have a hard time at the box office or something.

Frozen is pretty underrated. I mean, it's hardly talked about anymore and they don't even have an attraction for it...oh, wait.

Yes!! I totally agree. I love the jazz. It's definitely one of the more unique sounding OSTs. That and Cars
Good ol' American music ahaha

I don't think it was necessarily the sci-fi element (though you can count on one hand the number of successful animated sci-fi films); in part, I think it was the mash-up of pirates and sci-fi that people couldn't quite wrap their heads around. A lot of cross-genre stuff isn't always an easy sell (Cowboys vs. Aliens is another good example).
It also doesn't help that it wasn't really marketed or advertised that well.

Meet The Robinsons. It's the one that makes me cry too
You are kidding. That's probably my favorite Pixar film. That and Monsters, Inc.
My vote, The Sword in the Stone. This movie, along with Twain's Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, started my life long obsession with the Arthurian legend.
And here I am replying to my own post because I hit the Reply instead of Edit. Wanted to add Muppet Christmas Carol. Has been a Christmas Eve tradition in our house for many years now. We don't go to bed until we've finished watching it. Michael Cane is an excellent Scrooge, Kermit is Bob Cratchet, Miss Piggy his wife and Gonzo and Rizzo narrate. Try to watch it this year if you've never seen it.

Torn between Black Cauldron and the Rescuers Down Under. Will have to go with the latter. I just love this movie so much. The animation is gorgeous, the voice actors perfect (RIP, John Candy) and it is a nice feel good sorta enviormental movie. The only complaint I have is that the ending is abrupt, but this is probably because Disney was supposedly planning a trilogy, which would have provided more closure most likely. This was probably the prettiest movie from the Renaissance, but no one ever talks about it! Thank god it's on Netflix.
Oh and that eagle is LOVELY. Give the person that drew that an oscar.
The Black Cauldron is great too! It's major flaw I feel is the ending, but that's probably because Eisner forced himself into the editing room and started cutting scenes like a madman. The hero seems annoying at first but he ends up learning his lesson, Princess Eilowny is a very different princess, she speaks her mind and is wicked cool. The animation is also very good, probably because it's budget was huge. Oh and John Hurt and the composer for Ghostbusters.

Eilonwy is cool. Taran's in the undead lich's dungeon, freaking out, and then she shows up cool as a cucumber.

"Secret of the wings". I love love love this movie.
There are things I don't like in this movie but it's not bad at all, and the last 5 minutes or so are very touching.
