Most Underrated Disney Animated Film

[ms7479a]

I would have to say "Rescuers Down Under". That is just a great movie and it did very poorly at the box office.

I agree, it is a very good movie. George C. Scott as McLeach= one of the best Disney villains ever.

Hunchback and Rescuers Down Under

The Rescuers. Down Under is also underrated, but I like the original better. Bob Newhart is a genius.

I think The Fox and the Hound is also a forgotten gem. One I'm surprised doesn't get more play in the park considering how beloved it is, is Lady and the Tramp. I bet a dark ride at DHS would do amazingly well.

Is Robin Hood under rated? That's one of my faves.

Well despite begin panned by critics, audiences have always loved it. It's IMDB rating is 7.5/10 which is higher than many a "classic" like One Hundred and One Dalmatians (7.2/10), Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland (7.4/10), Sleeping Beauty (7.4/10) and others like Lilo and Stitch (7.1).

As for The Black Cauldron, it's rating (6.3/10) is actually higher than Pocahontas (5.9/10) and not really far below Hunchback (6.5/10), Treasure Planet, Rescuers Down Under, Brother Bear (all 6.6/10) etc.

The Fox and the Hound is 7.1/10 and The Great Mouse Detective 7.2/10, which supports my theory of the latter, which is that it is not underrated but "underseen".

To answer this thread I'd say The Black Cauldron or The Rescuers Down Under.

Fantasia/2000 and Fantasia

I would say...Fantasia

Really? You mean the only other animated film to make the original AFI top 100 American Films list?

Fantasia is one of Disney's top 14 selling home video titles. It's "scarcity" adds to its perceived value in consumers minds so when it comes out from the "Vault" there's an urgency to buy it quickly. Its next release is later this year.

Cinderella, Bambi, Snow White and others have only had 3 home video releases ever, yet there selling power and critical success is undeniable.

I just think its odd to see Fantasia on an underrated list, because I've never seen it on any "most underrated DAC" forum list ever. You're still entitled to your opinion though and there most certainly can be a case for Fantasia 2000.

I personally dont think there are any. The best ones are not under rated at all.:sohappy:
