Disney's Most Underrated Films

Move aside "Little Mermaid", it's time for these masterpieces to shine

Jun 21, 2016

My family didn't have cable when I was growing up. Instead, we had basically every Disney movie on VHS. Because of this, I have memorized every lyric, quote and score to every Disney movie. I'm not kidding. After so many years of watching these masterpieces, I've decided to list the most underrated Disney films that don't get enough love (in no particular order).

1. "The Aristocats"

Aside from the basic plot of aristocratic cats, this movie is such a classic. The music, the scenic design, it is brilliant. Not to mention we all were basically in love with Thomas O'Malley.

2. "The Sword in the Stone"

How could you not love this movie? Merlin and his owl Archimedes provide a hilarious duo of sarcasm and wit, and who could forget Archimedes' laugh? And Mad Madame Mim may be one of the most underrated villians of all time.

3. "Brave"

Strong, independent, hero Scottish girl. Such an amazing role model for young girls. And a movie to show the importance of the bond between a mother and daughter.

4. "Lady and the Tramp"

A story of love beating the odds and new horizons, Lady and the Tramp is the perfect movie for a rainy day. It's also great for when you need a Disney movie with minimum singing. Fun fact: it's the first Disney film where it was insinuated that the characters had sex. Gasp!

5. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

I get chills every time I listen to The Bells of Notre Dame. The music in this movie is so genius. Taking it's place as one of the darkest films Disney has produced, it is one of the best. And Esmeralda is a complete badass.

6. "Oliver and Company"

Another cat movie! Add in New York City, a cool gang of dogs, and the cutest piano duet ever, this movie definitely deserves more recognition.

7. "The Jungle Book"

With the release of the live action film, "Jungle Book" is finally getting some attention, but this animated classic is still my favorite. The vast array of characters and the smooth sound of the music is more than enough to bring you back.

8. "Atlantis"

This movie was a bust for Disney, but in reality it is amazing. The animation, conception of "Atlantis", and diversity among the characters is brilliant. Plus, another good choice if you're not a Disney sing-along type of person.

9. "Treasure Planet"

The story of a rebellious teen looking for his purpose in life can relate to any college student, and the great script adds the cherry on top. Jim Hawkins isn't too bad looking either.

10. "WALL-E"

Basically, treat the planet with kindness before we all end up as dependent blobs in space and a robot has to save us. It's also the only movie in which a cockroach is actually cute.

11. "Hercules"

The Muses. Enough said.

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.

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.
