15 Of The Most Underrated Animated Disney Movies

When you think of Disney, you probably think of princesses and talking animals. Classics like "Cinderella," "Frozen," and "Aladdin" are what come to mind. However, there are several Disney films that are underrated or overlooked that deserve attention. These 15 movies have either been pushed aside in favor of the more "traditional" Disney movies or have been forgotten. (I'm choosing not to include live-action movies.)

1. Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

This beautifully animated film has everything a Disney movies need to be a hit: a misunderstood princess, a quirky group of friends, a buff bad guy, and a nerdy leading guy.

2. Meet the Robinsons (2007)

A man in a bowler hat chases children through the future. Sounds creepy but it's actually a heartwarming film. And there's a dinosaur involved.

3. Brother Bear (2003)

What happens when a boy gets turned into a bear? A great movie.

4. Lion King 1&1/2 (2004)

This movie tells the story of what was happening to Timone and Pumba while the events in the original Lion King were occurring.

5. The Emperor's New Groove (2000

A sassy, self-absorbed emperor is transformed into a llama. Not only is this movie super funny, but it also has a great lesson: never insult a man's spinach puffs.

6. Chicken Little (2005)

The sky literally falls in this great movie about a little Chicken.

7. A Bug's Life (1998)

The story of one clumsy ant trying to save his colony by hiring circus bugs to scare the grasshoppers threatening them.

8. The Fox and the Hound (1981)

Tissues are a necessity for this super sweet movie about two best friends.

9. Aristocats (1970)

A movie about a catnapper who really lives up to the name.

10. Home on the Range (2004)

Singing cows go on an adventure to save their farm. It's great!

11. Oliver and Company (1988)

Oliver, a cute little kitten, is lost in the city and becomes friends with a ragtag group of dogs.

12. Bolt (2008)

Bolt is a dog movie star that thinks the movies he stars in are real. He's in for a big wake-up call!

13. A Goofy Movie (1995)

Goofy is the ultimate embarrassing dad.

14. Treasure Planet (2002)

An adventure tale featuring treasure, flying ships, and one of the greatest Disney bad boys.

15. The Brave Little Toaster (1987)

This sweet film features a host of household items on the search for their owner.

Honorable mention: James and the Giant Peach (1996)

The only thing stopping me from putting this great movie on my list is the fact that is is not animated. (It is a mixture of live-action and claymation.)

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
