When you think of Disney, you probably think of princesses and talking animals. Classics like "Cinderella," "Frozen," and "Aladdin" are what come to mind. However, there are several Disney films that are underrated or overlooked that deserve attention. These 15 movies have either been pushed aside in favor of the more "traditional" Disney movies or have been forgotten. (I'm choosing not to include live-action movies.)
1. Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
This beautifully animated film has everything a Disney movies need to be a hit: a misunderstood princess, a quirky group of friends, a buff bad guy, and a nerdy leading guy.
2. Meet the Robinsons (2007)
A man in a bowler hat chases children through the future. Sounds creepy but it's actually a heartwarming film. And there's a dinosaur involved.
3. Brother Bear (2003)
What happens when a boy gets turned into a bear? A great movie.
4. Lion King 1&1/2 (2004)
This movie tells the story of what was happening to Timone and Pumba while the events in the original Lion King were occurring.
5. The Emperor's New Groove (2000
A sassy, self-absorbed emperor is transformed into a llama. Not only is this movie super funny, but it also has a great lesson: never insult a man's spinach puffs.
6. Chicken Little (2005)
The sky literally falls in this great movie about a little Chicken.
7. A Bug's Life (1998)
The story of one clumsy ant trying to save his colony by hiring circus bugs to scare the grasshoppers threatening them.
8. The Fox and the Hound (1981)
Tissues are a necessity for this super sweet movie about two best friends.
9. Aristocats (1970)
A movie about a catnapper who really lives up to the name.
10. Home on the Range (2004)
Singing cows go on an adventure to save their farm. It's great!
11. Oliver and Company (1988)
Oliver, a cute little kitten, is lost in the city and becomes friends with a ragtag group of dogs.
12. Bolt (2008)
Bolt is a dog movie star that thinks the movies he stars in are real. He's in for a big wake-up call!
13. A Goofy Movie (1995)
Goofy is the ultimate embarrassing dad.
14. Treasure Planet (2002)
An adventure tale featuring treasure, flying ships, and one of the greatest Disney bad boys.
15. The Brave Little Toaster (1987)
This sweet film features a host of household items on the search for their owner.
Honorable mention: James and the Giant Peach (1996)
The only thing stopping me from putting this great movie on my list is the fact that is is not animated. (It is a mixture of live-action and claymation.)
