12 Underrated Disney Movies That Need To Be Seen Pronto

With the release of Disney's live-action adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" right around the corner, it is time to look at some of my favorite and most underrated Disney movies to date. While I love all things Disney, I have chosen what I believe to some of Disney's best movies that just missed the spotlight.

1. "Brother Bear" - 2003

"Brother Bear" is one of my all-time favorites. It has action, adventure, love, comedy, and a stellar soundtrack featuring Phil Collins. If you watch only one movie from this list, it needs to be "Brother Bear."

2. "The Black Cauldron" - 1985


There's a good chance you haven't seen Disney's "The Black Cauldron" and that is a shame. Many people argue that this movie was just simply ahead of its time with its intense plot line and terrifying villain. There were also rumors that this movie was blacklisted by Disney because it was their first movie to receive a PG rating.

3. "Oliver & Company" - 1988


I absolutely love this movie. It captures your attention from the very first scene and may bring you to tears in the first five minutes. It's just that good and I highly recommend it. Like seriously, go watch it.

4. "Meet The Robinsons" - 2007

The fact that this movie is ten years old hurts my heart especially since it is easily one of the most quotable movies. "I have a big head and little arms, I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through." It's also another one of my favorites.

5. "Treasure Planet" - 2002


I had to put "Treasure Planet" on the list. This movie is unlike anything Disney has done before and is so underrated it hurts. It's a must see.

6. "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" - 2001


This movie has it all - romance, mystery, and the legendary Lost City of Atlantis. You really don't need anything more.

7. "The Rescuers" - 1977 (and its sequel, The Rescuers Down Under - 1990)


For some reason, this film series always gets overlooked. Who doesn't want to watch two cute mice going on a wild adventure?

8. "The Great Mouse Detective" - 1986


Speaking of mice, "The Great Mouse Detective" continues the mouse theme and adds some action packed mystery. Another must see mouse movie from Disney.

9. "Home on the Range" - 2004

"Home on the Range" has everything it needs to be a Disney movie success. Music by Alan Menken, original plot, fantastic humor, and a strong cast. Besides, who wouldn't want to see farm animals go an adventure to catch a bad guy and save their home?

10. "Robin Hood" - 1973


"Robin Hood" is without a doubt an underrated Disney classic. Disney tells the age-old story of Robin Hood from the perspective that only Disney could offer.

11. "Sword in the Stone" - 1963


"The Sword in the Stone" is Disney's retelling of the legend that is King Arthur, Merlin, and Excalibur. This movie has all the magic and comedy you need to make it a must see.

12. "Bolt" - 2008


While "Bolt" was technically a successful film, it is wildly unrecognized. It has an all-star cast, a unique plot, and a powerful message. Also, who wouldn't want to hear an incredible duet between Miley Cyrus and John Travolta?

Some other Disney movies that didn't quite make the cut include "Hercules," "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "The Emperor's New Groove," and "The Aristocats." Of course, Disney has put out tons of incredible movies all of which are amazing and need to be seen (except "Pocahontas 2," that one should stay unknown). What are some of your favorites?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
