That's one of the reasons why I love Meet the Robinsons so much. I feel as though Walt Disney is part of the movie, more than just the quote. It's a great warm-hearting film with a great storyline.

How is The Rescuers: Down Under considered a black sheep of Disney films?

I know what you mean! The recurring theme throughout the movie is "Keep moving forward" and then at the end when you find out that it was actually Walt Disney who said those words, it just really gets to you! =)

Atlantis, yes. Fantasia, heck yes. Brother Bear, yes. Treasure Planet, no. I jus didn't like it. It's a great way to kill an hour and a half babysitting, but that's about it. in the way of underrated films... Oliver and Company, anyone? It was the late 80's and animation was dying a slow agonizing death before TLM came and saved the business. I also think that the third Aladdin movie gets less credit than it deserves. Brought back Robin Williams, had John Rhys-Davies (aka Sallah in Indiana Jones and Gimli in LotR) as Cassim, a villain we could love to hate and a plight that we could all sympathize with. and if you want a real laugh on that, watch the credits and little clip after it: "We're not gettin' outta here, man!!"

I just watched Meet the Robinsons again for the first time in a while and that movie just floored me. I missed so much the first time I saw it. I love everything about that movie: the story with it's theme of choosing between one's past and one's future, the acting, the music, the art direction, the tribute to Walt, etc.

Sometimes it takes awhile for a film to have it's full impact on me. I used to think of Meet the Robinsons as kind of a trivial film. Not anymore! It's emotionally satisfying, beautiful to look at and inspirational.

How did I miss that the first time around? I don't know. Meet the Robinsons is very underrated.

ME TOO!! I totally get choked up at that part. This is a fantastic movie!! (I met Bowler Hat guy this past weekend :) yay! )

Antoher "underrated" movie I think is Home on the Range. I thought this was a cute movie!

Yay, someone else brought up poor Oliver & Company! Without it, we wouldn't have had the Disney Renaissance! It was the test that brought about movies like The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.

In agreement with the majority here that Treasure Planet is extremely underrated. I think that fault lies with Disney though; it was very poorly marketed. They made it look like the next Atlantis, and it wasn't. It was better.

Speaking of, I'm surprised a lot of you are saying Atlantis. I didn't particular care for that one. Fell short of my expectations for Disney.

I also concur with those of you who said The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Brother Bear, The Rescuers (and its sequel) and The Great Mouse Detective.

I'd also add Hercules to the list, as Disney seems to have forgotten they made it. That, along with Hunchback, totally deserves at least a 2-Disc Special Edition DVD rather than those poorly cobbled-together Gold Collection discs.

I'm tentative to add The Black Cauldron to the list, as I didn't think it was particularly good... but it's certainly glossed over by most everyone.

I'd definitely add Return to Oz to the list. It was Disney's live-action adaptation of L. Frank Baum's The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz and I think it captured the spirit of the Oz books much closer than the MGM movie. It was much darker, but still extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended to those of you who haven't heard of it or seen it yet.

I would add The Emperor's New Grove. It's a totally fun movie all round and has some of the best quotes in it. You have to love Eartha as Yzma as well.

Wisher · 10-13-2008, 06:28 PM

If anyone out there said "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," I agree completely. No one ever talks about that one, and it's one of my favorites. Such a great story and wonderful music. There needs to be a special edition DVD of that, too. I'd love that.

Sesshomaru-sama · 10-13-2008, 09:05 PM

I miss that movie! I simply love Esmeralda.

I thought it was completely beautiful to have that quote and have it related to the movie. Ha ha! They show off that quote in the middle of the movie too!

I'd have to say for me, Meet the Robinsons, the Emperors New Groove, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Disneyfan#1 · 10-13-2008, 09:34 PM

I'd have to say Tron. It was really innovative for it's time and no one appreciates it today.

#1DisneyFreak · 10-14-2008, 12:13 PM

Zer0 I agree with ENG.... possibly becuase you and I quote it ALL the time :) LOVE that movie!

tropicskenzie · 10-14-2008, 12:19 PM

Wow i totally forgot about Meet the Robinsons! I really need to watch that movie again because i LOVED it.

#1DisneyFreak · 10-14-2008, 01:08 PM

We do too at our house. Another great movie with great quotable lines!

"I have a huge head with little tiny arms"..... by far my fav part! I probably slaughtered it a little but you know what i mean!
