all my loli wolf companions are so moe
ymmv on what films you'd argue are underrated, but for me I chalk it up on films that aren't talked about a lot, are flawed yet as a whole make for a really great film, and has moments that you feel are overlooked due to many things
out of my head, these two I feel deserve those
Former because it was released roughly around the time where the renaissance had already petered out, so people aren't really feeling it. Add the fact that it has so much computer-generated stuff (and apparently people are so iffy on that, despite their favorite movies having those *shrug*), and a rather semi-annoying main character, I can easily see why people overlooked it. But honestly it's a rare of a gem. Maybe because I really like the missing father figure quest and redemption that this really hit me well, that I feel like there really was no need for a villain here since Long John Silver fills it well.
Latter because it was released during the string of "crappy Disney CGI films" (though personally I think Meet the Robinsons, which preceded this film, was pretty good). Some people like to bring up the whole production backstory of it, but personally I judge the film as it is and it is really a heartwarming one. It's villain-less, character-driven movie with really great storytelling keys like foreshadowing and setting implements. I think my only real gripe is the rather abrupt third act misunderstanding but I can overlook it because it is a really great, emotional film.
