Top 10 Underrated Animated Films 1/2

[@darthstarkiller1912]

When it comes to "Anastasia", what makes it great is the animation and the awesome Oscar-nominated music. The songs are catchy, the animation is stunning, and the characters are great. Also, "The Prince of Egypt" is an amazing adaptation of the story of Moses. Love the music and the animation is amazing!

[@SammEater]

The Prince of Egypt is the only adaptation to me that made the Pharaoh more human instead of just a cartoonish villain like most other versions. Funny enough... being an actual cartoon.

[@HeckmanFT7]

The Prince of Egypt can be said for the Disney Renissance

[@WillScarlet16]

Rasputin is a joke as a villain.

[@joejohnson3707]

[@trippcory]

I beg to differ

[@SammEater]

I feel like Animal Farm is even better now than it was before, we may not be in a Cold War anymore but that doesn't mean there aren't people that think like the villains of this cartoon anymore.

[@misionodisea]

It is beyond my comprehension as to why DreamWorks is refusing to release The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado AND Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas on Blu-ray to this date. NOTHING ELSE MAKES ME LOSE MY PATIENCE THAT MUCH!!!!! They might as well release them on the new 4K UHD Blu-rays at once. The Road to El Dorado with HDR is going to be absolutely MIND-B~L~O~W~I~N~G

[@noahbossier1131]

Because "Boss Baby" and "Shark Tale" are hip and cool and timeless does not even matter.

[@misionodisea]

It feels really insulting. Just animation-wise for comparison, the best of Boss Baby is seriously horrid, I was taken aback at how the visuals felt so pathetic and LACKING, even compared to the worst of Sinbad. I don't know what's gotten to DreamWorks, but they really been hitting rock bottom in recent years. I'm counting on HTTYD3 to bring them back to good shape (It's their best franchise, after all).

[@Falxifer95]

To this day I see those 4 films and with some minor exceptions in CGI and am blown away by how good the animation is and how well they've aged.

[@ThexDynastxQueen]

I was told the issues were the "meh" reviews from the US stage version, Disney being fearful of backing an even less family friendly adaptation and not wanting to pay for the large choir needed as Disney is like _"Ain't nobody got money for that!! _*_continues counting the BILLION+ DOLLARS from Frozen alone_* . Not sure if this is ALL true but from listening to the Paper Mill cast soundtrack (listen to it if you haven't) we're clearly missing out on a wonderful production.

The Prince of Egypt and Prince of Dreams are definite classics and go-tos for tons of Christians and those who are interested in Christian mythology. I'm surprised people don't talk about it more.

I wish they can come back make more hand drawn animation. That's why I want to become a future director and animator one day to save and bring back 2d hand drawn animation and be in the same vein beauty as Disney, Don Bluth, DreamWorks, and Studio Ghibli. Bring back the beauty and art of 2d hand drawn animation back in the good old days. I would do my best.

[@PixiePrincess501]

What a great list! I remember they showed Twice Upon a Time on Cartoon Network AGES ago, when I was a kid. Back then, I only watched cartoons just for the sake of watching cartoons, not appreciating the art of animation, so that movie put me off just a little, since it looked weird. Now that I'm in love with the art of animation, I'd love to give this movie a try! I also remember how beautiful the movie Anastasia was! (Before I knew the name Don Bluth, I'll admit I also thought it was a darker side of Disney, too.) The Rescuers Down Under to me was a case of the sequel being so much better than the original, something that in the 90's was a bit of an issue with Disney, considering their "Direct to DVD/VHS" phase XP The 2d animated Dreamworks films were also wonderfully done, I had fun with El Dorado and only recently watched The Prince of Egypt, and it was so well done!

At the very least, the Prince of Egypt is being worked on for Broadway with Stephen Schwartz working on the music for the stage adaptation. It's currently being worked on in California (if I remember correctly). Also, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, while criminally underrated, is seeing more love than it used to. It did get a musical adaptation for the stage in recent years, and it does seem to be on more people's radar than expected.

The character of John Silver, specifically, is designed to be a somewhat 2.5D character

[@thegeck5831]

Also, (since I'm a bit of a history enthusiast) I like hunchback of Norte dame because I can see judge frollo actually being a real historical figure. In the Middle Ages, there were a lot of corrupt people and frollo fits right in. The burning of the windmill scene is very simalar to the atrocities committed by the many medieval figures. A few historical figures that remind me of frollo are: John the first, Richard the third (although some of the bad things he may have done could have been made up by the Tudors), George the third and many others.

And while the latter wasn't at all released in cinemas (Which it originally was planned for after extremely positive reception from test screenings, and that Warner Bros. didn't want to spend a ton of money on marketing for a wide release and put it straight-to-video), it's still a pretty great animated feature.

It was like a dream that only I had and no one else could recall and I was crazy. Eventually I kinda just gave up and assumed I was mis-remembering "The Thief and the Cobbler" when I found out what that was, because that also looked like kinda weird and similar enough too and - hey - it's been a few decades; maybe my brain just warped what it looked like. But I knew - _I knew_ - that was *not* the movie I was thinking of. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME THE INFORMATION MY BRAIN HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FILL IN FOR LITERALLY DECADES!

10. I remember RobTheWonderful (another animation reviewer I highly recommend checking out) talked about this film a while ago, and it looks really intriguing. I think this might've also influenced Pen Ward with creating Finn and Jake for "Adventure Time." 9. Among all the characters you mentioned, you forgot my favorite (besides the eagle): JOANNA! With that aside, I still think it's pretty good. 8. Certainly a great adaptation of a great book, even with its different ending. 7. I thought this one was decent. The animation and songs were great and some of the characters were likable, but it still seemed to rely too much on emulating Disney's formula at the time and I personally thought the bat was kind of annoying (even if he's voiced by Hank Azaria). Still better than Bluth's other 90s films. 6. "Prince of Egypt" was a masterpiece, "El Dorado" was entertaining, and "Spirit" was a pretty good adventure (especially one that avoided being a stereotypical animated animal film). Haven't seen "Sinbad" in its entirety, so I can't give my full opinion on it. 5. Another Disney classic! As for the gargoyles: I liked Laverne, but I didn't care for the other two.

Nothing personal, but I think need to call you out on what you said about animal farm. I have read the book, and seen the animated movie you are referring to; not only was the ending changed like you mentioned, but so was the windmill's destruction and the death of Mr. Jones. I could go on about even more events that were different between the book and the movie, but the point is that it's nearly as different from its original book as the Hunger Games movie.

10) looks interesting and LOL hilarious 9) a great underrated movie from the Renaissance 8) i remember reading the book in High school 7) Don Bluth's first success since All Dogs Go To Heaven 6) Prince of Egypt has led us to the Promised land, El Dorado is pure gold, Spirit has MUSTANG POWER and Sinbad is an epic voyage 5) The darkest and one of the greatest from the Disney Renaissance

[@mallardduckjrh8048]

I have seen The Rescuers Down Under, Animal Farm, Anastasia, and The Prince Of Egypt they’re all very good movies in fact Animal Farm is probably my favorite film that I have seen at this time, the Prince of Egypt is my favorite Dreamworks film

[@metepec20092012]

The too recent underrated or overlooked ones, mostly due to limited USA release (that causes apparently an unnoticed issue) or strong unexpected competition, would be: Kubo and the two strings Capture the flag Early man Breadwinner

Every time I watch 'Anastasia' I get goose bumps.

23:33 Try telling that to Burger King for they were very successful in promoting it along the lines of their Toy Story, Pocahontas, and Lion King kids meals.

[@thegayghost872]

Sinbad and Road to El Dorado are some of my favorite Dreamworks films

Spirit, but every time a horse neighs it speeds up by 50%. The movie would be over in 10 minutes ;^;

My issue with The Rescuers Down Under was there were so many conservation movies/shows in the 90s. We had Captain Planet, Widget the World Watcher, Fern Gully--and that is just off the top of my head. You know you are in a 90s movie, if the villains are just about polluting, destroying nature and killing animals just because they are rare (but only the really cute merchandisable ones--none of the scary ones). It got to the point where I am all, "you know... I kind of understand the villains from Captain Planet--let's fuck up the planet"

Fun fact: Twice Upon a Time was co-produced by Lucasfilm, the studio that brought us the Star Wars saga.

I LOVED Anastasia growing up. I wasn’t super familiar with animation studios at the time, so I didn’t know if it was a Disney film or not, so finding out it wasn’t made by Disney was surprising. More surprising, however, was when I found the movie on Disney+.

spirit stallion of the cimarron is the most emotional DreamWorks movie , that handled the it's drama really good . I believe the movie is good for children . Sinbad is more about action , adventure and self perception , which is suitable to the movie theme . road to el dorado (in my opinion ) is a perfect in everything and did all elements good . It's sad how medicore movies like despicable me and the secret life of pets , made high box office , while great movies in these list didn't .

I loved the Rescuers DownUnder as a kid! The CG opening was the first time I had seen anything like that before in an animated film. At least not since the final scene in the Great Mouse Detective, which I also loved.

[@amirgarcia547]

I’ve heard of all these movies (some of ‘em only from you), but I haven’t seen any save for clips of Animal Farm when I read the book for class in high school. Time to change that. Well, save for Hunchback. Love that movie, and totally agree that it’s one of Disney’s most underrated films.

[@GBlastMan]

i always thought that Hunckback of Notre Dame was kinda weird to fit in the disney line up, because while we have movies like Little Mermaid, Sleepy Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs or even Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland with twisted and dark moments or elements in its story they werent as dark and depressing as Hunckback, yeah is lighthearted for the most part but its really a very depressing and overall "grey" movie if you think about the background time its set, this wasnt a good time for people living by christianity rules were all that wasnt their definition of "justice" and "perfection" were some sort of twisted abomination that had to be destroyed and feared because was or either a witch or the son of the devil or the spawn of the devil. Yeah it does portait this subjects VERY WELL, like after the scene were the Hunckback is enjoying the carnival Frollo makes him suffer for defying him to come outside with all the people, and then the colorful sunny warm day of fun and games turns into a grey-tormented day of mockery and punishment because people just dont understand things that are "different" and they just fear what they dont understand and bash it into the ground because one person with power says that its not normal thus we must fear it because its not one of the creations of the lord. Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh, its MUCH DARKER than what it shows you so i always thought it was kinda strange and odd for disney to have such darker movie that doesnt quite fit with the rest of the line up, even if they do have darker moments or themes.

[@brendis16851]

If we talk about Disney's darkest movies, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is much better than The Black Cauldron. The former's darkness lies in the themes is dealing with, while the latter's darkness lies just in the visuals. Just because a movie is dark doesn't mean it's good; what it really matters is the execution. The Black Cauldron, while ambitious and has some good ideas, failed at delivering a deep and coherent story as well as fully developed characters, not to mention that the Horned King is such a shallow and overrated villain. The Hunchback of Notre Dame, on the other hand, is a true masterpiece that deserves more attention. Although it's not a faithful adaptation of the original novel, the movie managed to deliver a consistent and emotional story, great characters, an excellent villain, gorgeous animation and a powerful soundtrack.

@@brendis16851 It was written by the guys who did Beauty and the Beast.

[@AlexReynard]

I'm just stunned that anyone besides me knows of the existence of Twice Upon A Time. If it's not my favorite movie, it's in my top five.
