8 Underrated Disney Movies That You Need To Watch Right Now

MetaCritic

If you grew up with Disney like I did, you know the importance of each movie and how each movie can have a special place in your heart. However, some people stubbornly stick with the "classics", such as "Cinderella" or "Beauty and the Beast". I'm here to point out some of the really good movies that I find are not so popular, but definitely should be.

1. "Emperor's New Groove"

What's better than a talking llama? And Yzma is one of my favorite villains. She's hysterical and evil all at the same time. "The Emperor's New Groove" wonderfully expresses the theme of change; how Kuzco goes from utterly selfish to having a big heart in the end.

2. "The Princess and the Frog"

A classic tale with some added spunk, "The Princess and the Frog" is a great movie for kids and adults, too. There's the typical love story between the girl and the prince, but there's also a deeper message. Tiana has had a dream of having her own restaurant since she was young. This movie shows that you can do anything you set your mind to.

3. "Meet the Robinsons"

The protagonist of this movie, Lewis, is an orphan child who just wants to find his birth-mother, which ends up taking him on a crazy adventure with his friend from the future. "Meet the Robinsons" features one of Walt Disney's own quotes, and it's the important lesson that Lewis learns. Keep moving forward!

4. "A Goofy Movie"

A heart-warming "goofy" tale about a father and his son that anyone with a father figure can relate to.

5. "The Brave Little Toaster"

This movie, along with the rest in the series, take you through an adventure with household appliances that talk... This may sound funny, but it definitely exceeds all expectations.

6. "The Jungle Book"

"The Jungle Book" is a silly movie about a boy who makes friends with a bear and a panther while on his quest back to the "man village". This movie is filled with great songs like the classic, "Bare Necessities".

7. "Wreck-It Ralph"

This movie, about video game characters, tells an important story about how anybody can be a hero, even the "bad guy".

8. "Enchanted"

This movie meshed the real-world with the animated one, and did it pretty well. Amy Adams and James Marsden depict Disney characters' actions, gestures and speech flawlessly. The love story and the songs are my favorite aspects of this classic.

These are some of my favorite Disney movies that I think are often overlooked. I hope that if you haven't already, you'll give them a shot!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
