"The Rescuers Down Under" was always a weird one. Despite the fact that it came out in 1990, and its animation is more fitting for 90's Disney, its tone and style feels more like a holdover from Disney's 70's/early 80's output. Not that there's anything wrong with that, Disney made some great movies during that time. But "The Rescuers Down Under" just feels more like something that would've been more comfortably released between "The Fox and The Hound" and "The Black Cauldron", not between "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and The Beast".

Robin Hood
Most people seem to like it, but Disney don't seem to really care about it. Are there any actual Robin Hood rides at the theme parks, Robin Hood merchandise, character appearances at the parks etc?
I thought it was great. Especially the two villains, King John and Sir Hiss.

I'd say the same for Sword in the Stone, at least merchandise wise. I really want a plush Archimedes. |

I always liked Great Mouse Detective and Atlantis, but those two have their own small followings.
Rescuers Down Under is fun, but I always find the supporting characters more interesting than the Rescuers themselves. Bernard and Bianca are fine, but the whole conflict with Cody, Marahute and McLeash could have driven its own movie.

Tarzan.
It was very well received at the time both critically and with audiences and was also a commercial success. The reason I think it's underrated is because IMO it should be mentioned along with the other greats from that period like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. I really think it's that good.

Not sure if they still do but Little John, Friar Tuck, Robin, Prince John and the Sheriff used to walk around the Disney parks. |

Atlantis is probably my favorite animated movie, so I'm definitely voting for that. Heck, one reason I started seriously working out again was so I could cosplay Kida, something I regret I never did back when I was ripped.
Tarzan- while it wasn't a personal favorite, I have to admit it's great. A couple of years ago, I was subbing for a high school music class, eight periods of rowdy teens. Teacher left instructions to put it on for about half the classes. Each one was totally absorbed in the movie.

I have never seen Bolt, but I want to as I think my kids would like it.
If we can count Pixar movies here, I'll say Brave. It's gets dismissed as Mom-Daughter drama and preachy, but deep down most Princess movies are. I think its placement between Tangled and Frozen leaves it in a weird place as both of those movies are more loved. I love the setting and visuals, the side characters are funny, and Merida is cool with me.
Not sure what people think of Wreck-it Ralph, but damn I love that movie. I feel like it's underrated as when I visited DisneyWorld in 2014, I hardly saw anything for it.

The Rescuers Down Under is generally considered to be the actual start of the Disney Renaissance, so it does get its props. i have never seen it mentioned with the Disney Renaissance. in fact the film in general usually seems to get skipped over, with people going like "after Oliver & Company, Disney hit their stride with The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin..." like RDU doesn't exist I think it's because of the ten movies released during the Disney Renaissance it was the worst-performing at the box office by a significant margin, taking just $47 million worldwide, with Little Mermaid's first run $175 million being the next lowest. Of course, it opened against Home Alone and had all it's advertising pulled after the first weekend, so it got torpedoed in a way none of the others did. It's usually considered the actual start of the Disney Renaissance in terms of production value. Little Mermaid, while still a treat to look at, was visually reminiscent of the movies from the '70s and early '80s; RDU had more in common with the ambitious, epic blockbuster looks of the rest of the Renaissance movies. |

The Brave little toaster was disney wasn't it? If so than I'll go with that. It was a dark movie for a kids movie but it was a classic IMO Shoulda been their first CGI movie, John Lassiter originally worked on it and was let go for developing what would've been an expensive movie. It was then basically turned into a standard animated film. Lassiter wandered over to get a job with Steve Jobs and years later returned to Disney as the boss. Zing. Robin Hood Most people seem to like it, but Disney don't seem to really care about it. Are there any actual Robin Hood rides at the theme parks, Robin Hood merchandise, character appearances at the parks etc? I thought it was great. Especially the two villains, King John and Sir Hiss. Robin Hood is my favorite Disney film. Always has been and, despite the abject beauty of those Renaissance movies, it always will be. When I was a kid, the characters showed up a lot. Nowadays they appear very seldomly - I think the program is called "Limited Time Magic" or something, where a bunch of 2nd-3rd tier folks who don't have rides or new merch/toons to promote show up for appearances. (They probably appear more often than Roger Rabbit does, though...) |

Joke Answer No. 1: Anything not named Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin or Lion King Joke Answer No. 2: Anything that wasn't in Kingdom Hearts Real Answer: Just about anything from 1970 through 1988 As for Tarzan Was I the only one shocked that they show the dead parents bodies Probably not, but in the grand scheme of things it's overshadowed by the silhouette of Clayton's dangling body. |

They don't consider it a "real" Disney animated feature since it was made by another studio within the big D, but Ducktales: The Movie is highly underrated. A touch more Carl Barks in it than the show, and that opening plane scene up on the big screen (how I first saw it) was incredibly impressive visually.

Both the Great Mouse Detective and The Black Cauldron.
Its a real shame that both these movies tend to get overrated because they had the misfortune of being released a few years before the Disney Renaissance.

It was a dark movie for a kids movie but it was a classic IMO they bought the video rights, they didn't produce it They did produce the two direct-to-video sequels, though. "The Brave Little Toaster To The Rescue" and "The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars" |

Hercules is my favorite, and Hunchback is amazing, but most underrated for me is Great Mouse Detective.
