Most underrated Disney films?

Hi

We’re going to Disney World soon (my 6th time, but first for DC), so we’re watching Disney films a lot to get in the mindset! I have two boys who aren’t massively into the princess films, although they have watched them. I have found they love Hercules and Tarzan - ones you never hear people talk about. I also can’t remember any rides or attractions or merchandise for them at Disney. I love them too - really feel-good and great music. The 90s Disney films were fab.

Any other underrated Disney films I should watch with them?

Oliver and Company is great, very 80’s with a Billy Joel soundtrack.

I did not realise that was Billy Joel! I loved that film as a kid!

Interested in this thread?

Candleshoe! No one ever talks about it now but it used to be on at my local cinema every summer. I loved that movie. David Niven, Jodie Foster, hidden pirate treasure, it was great.

Well, it's great in my memory. Which I'm not going to ruin by watching it again now.

Doubtful there are any rides about it.

A Goofy Movie? Great songs, nice father-son plot (and very nostalgic for me as my brother was obsessed with it when we were kids!)

mnahmnah · 17/07/2022 20:36

@BigShoe

Not heard of that one! Will find it

The Rescuers
Fox and the Hound
Dumbo
Bedknobs and Broomsticks

GrouchyKiwi · 17/07/2022 20:40

Hercules was my favourite till Moana came along.

I completely agree with Tangled and Big Hero 6. The TV series for BH6 is fantastic too. I find myself watching it when the children are.

Brave and Inside Out are also excellent.

Ashhead24 · 17/07/2022 20:40

Wall-e is my DS's favourite.

Idiotathome79 · 17/07/2022 20:41

Brother bear excellent sound track too .

TheRamblingHeartSongPlays · 17/07/2022 20:43

The Emperors New Groove (I'm sorry, but you've thrown off the Emperors groove...)

Just that really. It's literally hilarious. And hardly anyone seems to have watched it?!

mnahmnah · 17/07/2022 20:44

@TheRamblingHeartSongPlays

I think we may have seen it on lockdown but will revisit!

Big hero 6 - we met beymax at Disney, got to do the fist bump 👊

Frozentoo · 17/07/2022 20:47

Massive Disney World fans here.
Mine don't love a lot of the classics tbh but we also showed lots of them before their Disney World trips! Dont think it matters massively if they dont know them all but fun to at least recognise the main characters. Presume you've watched Cars 1 2 and 3? They are all-time faves in our house (though I'm not a fan of Cars 2 particularly my boys enjoy it)
Wreck it Ralph and Ralph breaks the Internet is brilliant - briefly features the princesses in quite a fun way.
Enchanted is a brilliant underrated film.
Incredibles 1&2
Big Hero 6 though Baymax is not really in the parks sadly.
How about Duck tales the series? Mine enjoyed that. Also LionGuard series is cute.
Even just the music from some of the non-animated films are piped in the parks (you'll notice if you're a true Disney need!) The parent Trap was enjoyed here if you're looking for non-animated films...

Another vote for Luca

merrymornings · 17/07/2022 20:54

The Emperor's New Groove is very, very funny and often quoted here. Llama faaace!

Lilo and Stitch and Robin Hood are also great.

Love Hercules too.
