12 Underrated Disney Movies That Need To Be Seen Pronto

With the release of Disney's live-action adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" right around the corner, it is time to look at some of my favorite and most underrated Disney movies to date. While I love all things Disney, I have chosen what I believe to some of Disney's best movies that just missed the spotlight.

1. "Brother Bear" - 2003

"Brother Bear" is one of my all-time favorites. It has action, adventure, love, comedy, and a stellar soundtrack featuring Phil Collins. If you watch only one movie from this list, it needs to be "Brother Bear."

2. "The Black Cauldron" - 1985


There's a good chance you haven't seen Disney's "The Black Cauldron" and that is a shame. Many people argue that this movie was just simply ahead of its time with its intense plot line and terrifying villain. There were also rumors that this movie was blacklisted by Disney because it was their first movie to receive a PG rating.

3. "Oliver & Company" - 1988


I absolutely love this movie. It captures your attention from the very first scene and may bring you to tears in the first five minutes. It's just that good and I highly recommend it. Like seriously, go watch it.

4. "Meet The Robinsons" - 2007

The fact that this movie is ten years old hurts my heart especially since it is easily one of the most quotable movies. "I have a big head and little arms, I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through." It's also another one of my favorites.

5. "Treasure Planet" - 2002


I had to put "Treasure Planet" on the list. This movie is unlike anything Disney has done before and is so underrated it hurts. It's a must see.

6. "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" - 2001


This movie has it all - romance, mystery, and the legendary Lost City of Atlantis. You really don't need anything more.

7. "The Rescuers" - 1977 (and its sequel, The Rescuers Down Under - 1990)


For some reason, this film series always gets overlooked. Who doesn't want to watch two cute mice going on a wild adventure?

8. "The Great Mouse Detective" - 1986


Speaking of mice, "The Great Mouse Detective" continues the mouse theme and adds some action packed mystery. Another must see mouse movie from Disney.

9. "Home on the Range" - 2004

"Home on the Range" has everything it needs to be a Disney movie success. Music by Alan Menken, original plot, fantastic humor, and a strong cast. Besides, who wouldn't want to see farm animals go an adventure to catch a bad guy and save their home?

10. "Robin Hood" - 1973


"Robin Hood" is without a doubt an underrated Disney classic. Disney tells the age-old story of Robin Hood from the perspective that only Disney could offer.

11. "Sword in the Stone" - 1963


"The Sword in the Stone" is Disney's retelling of the legend that is King Arthur, Merlin, and Excalibur. This movie has all the magic and comedy you need to make it a must see.

12. "Bolt" - 2008


While "Bolt" was technically a successful film, it is wildly unrecognized. It has an all-star cast, a unique plot, and a powerful message. Also, who wouldn't want to hear an incredible duet between Miley Cyrus and John Travolta?

Some other Disney movies that didn't quite make the cut include "Hercules," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "The Emperor's New Groove," and "The Aristocats." Of course, Disney has put out tons of incredible movies all of which are amazing and need to be seen (except "Pocahontas 2," that one should stay unknown). What are some of your favorites?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
