Not Disney but a great movie.
Really liked Bolt but I haven't seen it in nearly a decade.
Could Robin Hood be considered underrated? At least it's my favorite from the cheap-ass xerox era. Definitely one of my childhood faves.
A fun adventure. Good cast, good songs. Love it.
It blows my mind every time I think about how Joseph Gordon Levit is Jim in Treasure Planet.
For all the crap The Hunchback of Notre Dame gets for those annoying gargoyles, it really is a very well written film with great themes of bigotry, religious hypocrisy, corruption of government, and perception. Even those gargoyles work in concept, as figments of Quasimodo's imagination that let the audience look into his mind.
It's not a perfect film, especially with the sharp contrast between the lowbrow humor and an extremely dark plot for a kids movie, but I appreciate the attempt at doing something more grounded and mature than what most Disney films had been up to that point.
People forget all those classics and act like Disney cartoons only got good with beauty and the beast/the little mermaidRobin Hood gets my vote, it feels like most people forgot that it existed but it remains one of my favourites.
The Emperor's New Groove.
I wish there was some sort of push to get these movies something between a remake and a remaster. Like use the same base animation, but remake it with cleaner lines, and give the whole thing better audio design, scene transitioning, and soundtrack cues. The animation on this era of movies is undoubtedly feature film quality, but everything around it seems rushed and undercooked.
70's Disney animation is an interesting case study in how really impressive animation can be sabotaged by cutting corners everywhere else.
A bunch of their 70s, 80s, and early 2000s films are underrated. Honestly, so many of those 2000s Disney movies were gems.
I generally feel bad for most Disney non-musicals.

I'll go on a limb and say Rescuers Down Under is even superior to the first film. It's actually befitting of the name.
basically outside of the "classic" era, "renaissance" era and "Lasseter-ownership" era yeah
oh well, thankfully most of them are vindicated by history but as jett's post shows they're not even treated well there, especially the classic ones
This and
Mulan and Lilo and Stitch do not belong in this conversation.

Neither are ever really mentioned alongside Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King or Pixar's stuff.
Mulan is definitely underrated same for Hercules (yet thats a far lesser claim),Mulan just has a vocal niche online.
"Make A Man Out Of You" is about the only thing that isn't underrated and is generally a favorite it seems.
Basically my favorite Disney movies:
-Treasure Planet
- Atlantis
- Emperor's New Groove
- Cinderella III isn't too bad either.
Ummmm..... Nani is not Lilo's mother. She's her sister. They are orphans.Lilo & Stitch - I rate it comparably to the stone-cold classics TLK/Aladdin/Fantasia/Pinocchio/your favourite. The first ten minutes belong to a different film, but once we're properly introduced to Lilo it's as perceptive and subtle a character portrait as anything in the Disney canon, considering the troubles faced by a single mother and her sulky but sharp daughter. Absolutely beautiful soft watercolour too, credibly selling the easy beauty of Hawaii. And Stitch, despite being uncontrollable and destructive, is just the cutest - classy animation work.
Also a nod to Dumbo, which I never see mentioned anywhere but I find as moving as Bambi.

I want to see Cinderella III if only because it's PG-13.

Agreed, at least about Mulan. Casual (non-movie crazed) friends still bring up that film with me. Lilo and Stitch I don't see brought up much anymore, but it felt big at the time and at least got a television series.
I would love for someone to hear me talk about Rattigan's song in Grreat Mouse Detective and actually know what I'm talking about.
