Disney has made dozens of movies over the years. But some have gotten thrown to the wayside in favor of other movies or are just criminally underrated and should have gotten more attention. Here are 17 Disney movies seemingly forgotten by most in favor of other Disney movies or are underrated
1. The Emperor's New Groove (2000)
-Summary: An arrogant emperor is turned into a llama when he's given the wrong poison by his adviser. And in order to get back to his palace, he turns to the help of a lowly peasant
-This one has some iconic lines. It may not be liked by everyone, it may not be on the same level as, say, Beauty & the Beast or The Little Mermaid, but it's still a classic in its own right.
2. Meet the Robinsons (2007)
-Summary: Lewis is a child who is also an inventor. He's whisked away to the future with a guy named Wilbur Robinson, who is on the hunt for a person known only as Bowler Hat Guy
-This is a cute little Disney movie appropriate for all ages. It may not be well known, but it's worth a watch. It's hilarious and adorable
-Summary: A young boy and a crew of misfit friends embark on a mission to find a item full of dark magic before an evil tyrant can locate it
-This was a bit of a dark journey for Disney. Normally Disney movies don't delve into dark magic, but this one did. It stands out amongst other Disney movies because of its references to dark magic
-Summary: Basil, a rat Sherlock Holmes, is on the case of a missing toy maker who has been kidnapped and discovers his arch enemy, Professor Ratigan is a possible culprit
-It's everything you love about Sherlock Holmes, only transformed into animals
-Summary: Jim Hawkins, a teenager who sets off with friends, are on a mission to find a treasure hidden by a space pirate
-This movie manages to combine traditional and digital animation
-Summary: A kitten lost in New York City joins a ragtag group of dogs engaging in petty larceny
-This Disney movie is the Disney twist on the classic Charles Dickens' tale of Oliver Twist. Instead of humans, it's animals. There's Oliver, a lost kitten who joins a streetwise dog named Dodger
-Summary: A bell ringer named Quasimodo must become independent so he can rescue his gypsy friend Esmerelda from a vicious lord
-This movie deals with some dark elements, certainly pushing the limit on a Disney movie. This movie is unique in its animation and storytelling, about accepting people and inner strength
-Summary: A young Inuit kills a bear for no reason. As a result, he is transformed, by magic, into a bear as punishment. The only way he can change back is with the help of a talkative bear cub
-This unique Disney movie takes a dive into the Inuit culture of Alaska and, with Phil Collins of Genesis providing music, it's worth watching
-Summary: Milo Thatch is a linguist who joins a group of people looking for the fabled city of Atlantis
-A film like no other, this movie combines mystery, sci-fi and Disney animation
-Summary: The dog from a popular action/sci-fi show shows he has real super powers when he embarks on a cross country journey to save his co-star from a threat that proves to be real
-There are themes of loyalty, friendship and self-discovery throughout the film
-Summary: Miss Bianca and Bernard travel to the land Down Under to save a boy and a rare golden eagle from a poacher with murderous intentions
-This is the first animated Disney film sequel. This movie often gets overlooked, for reasons unknown to this day. It shows the Australian wilderness, often known as the Outback, in stunning color, and the themes of friendship and courage make it worth watching
-Summary: A boy named Arthur learns he is the one destined to pull Excalibur from the stone it rests in. Along with the help of a wizard named Merlin, he learns love, kindness, knowledge and bravery as he goes on to be one of the most celebrated kings in English history
-This movie does not get the recognition it so rightly deserves. It shows a young boy named Arthur and centers on the topics of magic, humor and is filled with life lessons one could use
-Summary: Animals telling the famous tale of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham
-This movie reinterprets the classic story of Robin Hood and his battle with the Sheriff of Nottingham for kids to understand
-Summary: The only son of Greek god Zeus and wife Hera is raised as a mortal infant and must rise to the occasion and become a true hero to regain his immortality
-This modernized story of the Greek god Hercules falls to the wayside in favor of other Disney movies. It adds a quirky touch to the story, including a satyr named Phil and a seductive heroine named Megara
-Summary: Max promises a girl he has a crush on that he's going to a concert for musician Powerline. But his plans are derailed when he instead goes on a cross country journey with his embarrassing dad, Goofy
-This movie goes hardly seen by anyone. Unless you grew up watching Disney movies, not everyone will be familiar with this movie. This movie explores the relationship between Goofy and his teen son Max, exploring the sometimes difficult parent-teen relationship
16. Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998)
-Summary: When Pocahontas moves to the New World with her friends Meeko, Flit and Percy, she learns of John Smith's death. She must try to prevent war and battle
-This movie continues the story of Pocahontas as she moves to England and encounters a culture completely foreign to her. She faces the challenge of keeping peace between her people and the English
17. Home on the Range (2004)
-Summary: The animals on a farm go hunting for a notorious outlaw in order to save their farm from closure
-Centering on a farm where the animals are trying to save their farm from an outlaw, it may not seem like an original story. But this movie is funny and lighthearted, perfect for when you need a good laugh
