Top 10 Forgotten Disney Animated Movies

This movie is, like, the best Disney dog movie EVER! I love the music, the plot, the characters, and the humor! Plus, Dodger is the most awesome character. It doesn't hurt that he's played by THE Billy Joel either!

The only Disney movie to star Billy Joel makes it amazing. However, it's often forgotten due to its mediocre box office performance and its release just before The Little Mermaid kicked off Disney's 90s Renaissance.

Just watched this one again last night! I remember it from when I was a kid and never realized it had Billy Joel as a voice actor. It gets points just for that.

I love this movie so much. There is no way that I would ever forget this movie. I first watched this when I was only 3 months old. I watched this again and again for so many years. I couldn't remember everything that happened in the movie, but the song "Who Will Rescue Me" still remains fresh in my memories!

One of my best childhood moments. I almost forgot about this movie until my young sister was watching it, and I remembered how happy I was as a kid.

Am I the only one who thinks that this movie was better than the second one? Even to this day, I still find myself laughing at this movie.

I agree this movie is completely forgotten under all the Disney magic. This is a mildly good movie, even as predictable as it is. I prefer the book, but it makes for a great movie. When I was younger, I wouldn't even think of forgetting this movie. It deserves a better sequel!

No words to describe how much this movie means to me. The reason people forget it is simply that most of Disney's 1980s movies are still forgotten to this day (minus The Little Mermaid). I grew up watching this all the time. I knew the movie and words by heart over time.

The Fox and the Hound really shouldn't be forgotten. One of Disney's all-time classics (which this movie is based on a book that really isn't kid's material).

I really love this movie. It's one of my top Disney movies of all time. Barrie Ingham and Vincent Price are amazing in this film. I remember them best as Basil and the evil Professor Ratigan whenever I see them in another movie, and I'm like, "Hey, that's the guy who played Ratigan! That's so awesome."

My favorite character in the movie is Basil. I love how he acts all smug and uptight, but he's really a soft-hearted kind of guy. He's so sweet and very smart. Dr. Dawson is nice too, a very sweet guy. Barrie Ingham brought lots of personality, fun, humor, and intelligence into Basil's character. He did such a great job. Rest in peace, Barrie Ingham.

I think the movie is one of those precious gems you look back on and say, "It couldn't hurt to watch again." I never saw this as a little kid, but when I finally watched it, I thought it was one of the funniest animated movies out there. The sad reason it probably doesn't get looked upon highly is because it was released along with a lot of 2000s disasters.

I love The Princess and the Frog and Lilo and Stitch, but I'd say this era holds the worst Disney movies. For example: Chicken Little, Home on the Range, and Dinosaur, just to name a few. I swear if this movie was made in 1999, it would have been even better.

The Fox and the Hound is super boring, so this should pretty much be #1.

I love Dumbo! When I watched it in library class in first grade, it was so rude how my classmates called Dumbo dumb because his name was Dumbo.

Underrated movie with a soundtrack that absolutely slaps.

I remember watching this since The Hulk (2003), Finding Nemo, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions came out the same year as this. I loved this movie all this time (especially in my teenage years), and I'm currently 17 (as of 2016). It's still my favorite.

I like the design of the environment and characters, which make them both look realistic, like Xbox One/PS4 graphics. You honestly cannot forget this film. I still saw Disney face swaps of Kenai and Koda and parodies of this in a show called Brickleberry.

I really love this movie. It is underrated, yet so great! The soundtrack is amazing.

In "Warriors: The Last Hope," the soundtrack for when the spirits came down and turned Kenai into a bear played in my head for Firestar's death. Although this isn't exactly what happened, I pictured the flaming tree falling, then, kind of like Brother Bear, the spirits of StarClan coming down, dancing swiftly around him. His spirit got up and began to be lifted into StarClan by a beam of sunlight. That soundtrack played, and it was just beautiful.

So forgotten. Lots of people think it's bad, and I won't argue that some parts aren't the greatest, but keep in mind that the crew was forced to cut over 10 minutes of the film. Overall, the animation is beautiful, and I love Eilonwy.

I'm the only one in my class who has seen this movie. I LOVED The Horned King. He made me fall in love with this movie. He's my favorite Disney character EVER! People should give this movie more love!

It doesn't have the character development that we're used to seeing in Disney movies now, but it's still a favorite of mine.

The animation is spectacular, as is the story.

Why does nobody talk about this movie at all? It was hilarious. In my opinion, it is like Zootopia, only in the past. This is one of those movies that is really good and funny, and nobody talks about it at all. Then there are movies that aren't as good, with annoying songs, that took over the internet and are overrated. That's Frozen for you right there.

This movie is fantastic! I've watched it more times than I can count, and I'll keep on watching it over and over again!

Robin Hood was hilarious. I can't believe it never got all the attention.

I love this movie so much. It's on the list of worst Disney movies, and I couldn't understand why. I love this movie, and it is definitely one of the best Disney movies.

Best Disney classic in my opinion, and the film that sparked my favorite era of Disney movies: The Dark Age.

This is definitely one of my favorite Disney movies.

I love this movie so much! It carries such a strong sense of the classic Disney magic that we don't really have nowadays.

A cutesy, feel-good film. Good music, lots of funny moments. Another truly forgotten film.

This movie means the world to me. Hello to my happy childhood! Thanks, Merlin and Arthur!

Thanks to two Toy Story movies coming between it, A Bug's Life became a forgotten movie sometimes.

Me back in 2010, when I first watched this: Aww, dog face scene! Eh, who am I kidding? This is awesome.

Me now: This is the most underrated Disney movie I've ever watched. Still, it's awesome. "Ridonkulous" even. Oh, God. I'm referencing the movie.

It's an OK movie. I didn't see anything wrong with it. You should at least appreciate the message it brings about the relationship between a dog and its owner, as well as the reality of life.

I think this film is better than the original because it has much more excitement. I'm not saying the original was bad, just not very exciting.

The animation and the outstanding score are the reasons this was better than the original.

Good when you've never even heard of it.

I do believe it's at least a little forgotten. Everyone knows Alice, but they don't really know or remember the actual movie.

Why is this film forgotten? The answer is simple: it's a classic. Most people care about Disney films after Walt died, and they are predictable. They like The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Frozen, Tangled, and so on. But there are people like me who like the classic older ones a lot better.

This was the second Disney film to have someone die and stay dead (Fantasia was the first, and that was a masterpiece). Bambi is a great film and should be recognized by all and loved more. It's the perfect family film.

I love how Disney took a risk by stepping back into the dark side, especially after what happened to The Black Cauldron. The animation, songs, memorable characters, and overall beauty and darkness of the movie make it stand out from the crowd.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, not only because it tells a beautiful and heartbreaking story, but because of the wonderful characters and the darkness of this universe. I also just love it for the simple reason that it's so underrated.

In my opinion, the best musical Disney has made to date. The darkness of the villain is unmatched by any other Disney film (thanks, Victor Hugo), and the posed question, "Who is the monster and who is the man?" gets me every time.

Everyone is talking about some Disney movies or films there. They do a countdown except for this one. How can they forget it?

Isn't this the movie where Donald goes insane from starvation and tries to murder the cow?

I was torn between voting for Brother Bear and this. At least people cared enough for the bear movie to make a sequel and a Pixar rip-off called Brave. No one outside of a tiny cult following even remembers this.

This movie is much more deserving of its following than The Black Cauldron, even though I love it as well, because unlike The Black Cauldron, Treasure Planet was actually pretty darn good. It comes on TV occasionally on Disney JR, though it's too dark for the typical preschooler. It's still awesome.

I agree. Some of these sequels are actually really good despite their crappy reputations.
