I know that Lord of the Rings is widespread in popularity, but I am not sure that many people remember the charming Rankin-Bass version of the Hobbit. It is one of my fondest childhood films. Even with the hobbit being a relatively short book, there was a lot cut out in the film, but the beautiful art style, amazing voice cast, with Gandalf being voiced by the iconic John Huston, is something that is enduring.

[@zaydeshaddox7015]

A few more good ones: The Fantastic Planet Time Masters The Mouse and His Child The Secret Adventures of Tom Thumb A lot of people today don't know this but back in the 70's, the Sanrio company was making animated films that were darker than Disney but not as deliberately gorey or trashy as Ralph Bakshi films. The Nutcracker Fantasy, The Winds of Change and Alakazam the Great are a few. They have an eccentric sensibility to storytelling. My favorite from Sanrio is The Mouse and His Child, which I saw... as a child, with my Dad. I was totally mystified by it. He, being a Christian preacher, was very bewildered and uncomfortable.

Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy) gave "Atlantis The Lost Empire" its art style.

There was a 80th anime movie, all I remember is the end, when main character is walking and the planet around him is changing. Trees flying up to the sky and his monologue saying "Im changing as well". Anyone remember this fairytale? 😅

[@Blitzkrieg_Wolf]

I'd say these weren't necessarily "forgotten" animated films, more so "mired by executive decisions, internal conflict over production and even outright sabotage by the company heads".

[@charleedrummer]

I watched 'When The Wind Blows' being a little kid. I will never forgot that film. It had such an impact on me that even today -in my 40's- I cry when I think about it or I watch a single frame. Never saw it again and even I'd like to I don't know if I can. Great list

[@marc-antoinesalome2520]

Some other underrated movies that nobody mentionned : Allegro Non Troppo, Raggedy Ann & Andy : A Musical Adventure, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad (and almost every Disney Wartime Era films)...

[@sayastra]

The movement of the theif and the cobbler reminds me of some of the sequences in Ragedy Ann. My sister had a recorded VHS and was really into that film:/

[@mattcampbell3857]

the great irony of dreamworks animation was that it was always chasing disney which was always chasing integrating technology to its 2D animation, which eventually crumbled under the weight of its self importance. they both failed and killed off 2D animation for a generation by trying to pursue a 2.5-D look.

[@mateollamo73]

Like Treasure Planet and Atlantis, I feel that Titan A.E. is criminally under rated

[@dreamguardian8320]

I for one like Titan A.E. more than Treasure Planet.

[@kgoblin5084]

Titan AE is NOT under-rated, it deserves it's lackluster reputation, & is a sterling example of the decline of John Bluth & company. Unsatisfying ending, combined with unlikable characters. It's not outright awful... but considering the film was would-be blockbuster when it is released there is a reason a lot of animation enthusiasts react with a solid MEH when it's mentioned - because we saw it in theaters when it was released & were actively disappointed with what was promised. Treasure Planet is a bit more complicated... it IS a Disney film which means it had a built-in audience from before it was even announced, which would usually make any argument that it sailed under the radar EXTERMELY unconvincing. BUT... it was 2 years after the very similarly themed disappointment of Titan AE... & it was towards the end of the Disney animation renaissance when traditional animation was starting to lose out to 3D CGI

[@jbennett3067]

The Thief and the Cobbler is full of wonderful little details: a swarm of flies following the thief wherever he goes; the tips of the vizier's shoes unrolling with every step like party noisemakers; the various, intricate parts of the giant weapon of destruction that come together like an evil Rube Goldberg machine... Just brilliant.

[@dropthebassalready]

These compilations are so beautiful 😀

[@LanceCriminal1337]

I just stumbled across your channel. As a kid who grew up in the 90’s and early 2000’s I loved most of these movies. Titan AE I still have somewhere on VHS

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Those old, hand-drawn animations seems more artistic for me.

[@dreamguardian8320]

2D hand-drawn animation in my opinion is the true magic of creation, unlike 3D and live remakes. Stop-Motion animation is true magic too.

[@darrenbent7601]

Thank you for putting this list of underrated dark fantasy animated movies. When I was a child, they played a movie twice, but I could not remember the name of the movie. All I could remember was two men playing a board game with the fantasy characters as the pieces, and the scene where the evil wizard transformed into a bunch of dragons. Naturally, I thought that it was something connected to Dungeons & Dragons. It was of course The Flight of Dragons. Now that I know the name of the movie, I van now look for it online. Thank You, for helping me end literally decades of confusion.

[@KyleRDent]

[@theiggy1474]

For years, I've searched for one of those movies that turned out to be Gandahar. I remembered only glimpses of it from my early childhood and with not enough reference it was a mystery until now. Thank you very much , I am so very greatfull for this video.

[@thehopoman]

man, titan AE, sinbad and treasure planet were my jam! honorable mention to the brave little toaster!

Love love LOVE Atlantis. Named my first dog after Milo. He was 15 when he died in 2016. Miss that funny dog.

I loved Mouse Detective. I still have it on VHS, but I no longer have a player. 😞 I loved Wizards. Sinbad is a really good flick. Animation was awesome. Titan was pretty good. Not great though. I really like Atlantis. I think it is a forgotten gem. I liked Treasure Planet.

[@patriciaschiro2659]

I stumbled across The Brave Little Toaster when I was in my twenties. This movie is so amazing and made me laugh and cry. The songs are catchy and get stuck in your head. I highly recommend this movie. Of course I love all the movies you speak about in this video.

[@wujekswist]

No 1 Top10 channel!

[@calebthornblad1831]

Gotta watch ghandahar. Looks like a blast and similar to heavy metal( one of my favorite animated films ever) and I love fantastic planet. Also: I LOVE that wizzards is mentioned, still have to see it but I love bakshi. Also sinbad!! Loved that movie as a kid

[@ourabouras]

Outside of the Gandahar movie I’m familiar with all of these animated films and The Great Mouse Detective and Treasure Planet have thriving fandoms and are quite beloved. Now something like the French animated masterpiece The King and the Bird, or Satoshi Kohn’s Paprika, Tekkenkoncrit (?), or even Miyazaki’s Porco Rosso those might be considered underrated.

[@hakanstorsater5090]

Tekkonkinkreet .

[@Bookspine5]

Great film : Tekkonkinkreet.

[@cnmnnaturalist]

The idea of the value of inanimate objects portrayed in the Brave Little Toaster hits harder now that I'm an adult. The appliances were 'lucky' they are being cut up for parts and reused rather than completely thrown in the garbage to rot away in landfills like today. The cars weren't worthless. Instead being broken down for scrap and parts rather than rotting and rusting away somewhere. You just want to be able to hop in there and tell them that, though it may not have provided any real comfort as they were still losing their 'lives'.

[@dreamguardian8320]

Should've added Help! I'm a Fish! (AKA, A Fish Tale) to this list.

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

Loved watching these on YTV, Family Channel, and Teletoon when growing up. Such greta nostalgia and memories to recall ❤

[@OpticalSorcerer]

NGL, "Sinbad" had a big issue with "show, don't tell" as well as having a lead that wasn't as charming or smooth as he was set up to be (likely due to the comedy aspect). Plus if "Atlantis" was a musical, I'm sure it'd be more popular--but the production team seemed to be averse to the idea, given that their shirts embraced the fact that it wasn't a musical.

[@AshKetchumfromPalletTown]

This video feels like watching all the trailers before my favorite movie on VHS!

[@aysha5488]

I would also recommend movie "9" from 2009, it's in post apocalyptic world where little puppets are the only living creatures. It's dark but beautiful movie

[@RoboticDragon]

I think the main reason you see many films from the early 2000s here is because everybody was starting to get more fixated on computer animation, and saw drawn animation as more of a "kids" medium. Which is such a shame.

[@preposteroussvideos]

Excellent list

[@guitaoist]

Gandahar is the only one i havent heard of, thanks going to check it out. Heavy metal is an awesome cartoon too

[@skuffy4930]

Fun fact: following the incompletion of The Theif and the Cobbler Disney actually made their first ever bootleg, Aladdin. They got away with it not only through their shear size as a company, but also through releasing what was made of the original film in a low quality state under the title "Arabian Nights" to try and make it look like the bootleg.

[@frofrozzty]

Early 2000s Disney action/adventure like Atlantis and Treasure Planet are it's peak imo

[@stolensentience]

How can that be its peak when Pinocchio came out in 1940?

[@frofrozzty]

@@stolensentience because imo (in my opinion) Disney's action-adventure did not peak with Pinocchio in 1940. It peaked with Atlantis and Treasure Planet, arguably more fit for the family and the action-adventure genre.

[@stolensentience]

@@frofrozzty nah I was just inserting my own opinion cheekily. I love Atlantis. Treasure planet overrated imo but cool movie. Imo Disney best movies are very spaced out. Pinocchio 101 Dalmatians lion king Toy Story inside out emperors new groove wreck it Ralph… not a whole lot of continuity between their very best films imo

[@hakanstorsater5090]

The Italian children's movie "Lucky and Zorba" is undeservedly forgotten, I'd say. Also, I can recommend the French-Czech "Fantastic Planet" by Gandahar director René Laloux (although maybe the experimental cutout animation might be jarring to modern viewers).
