5 Disney Movies That Are Highly Underrated

In This Article:

When I find myself in times of trouble, Disney movies come to me...but some Disney movies don't come to a lot of people because, even though they are incredible, they have are not as popular as the other movies, or maybe they just never got the big break they deserved. So here are my top 5 underrated Disney movies.

PS: if you love these movies, you've got a friend in me

5. The Princess and the Frog

Even though she's a Disney princess, which should mean people hella appreciate Tiana and her movie, Princess and the Frog often goes unnoticed. Not only does it have some of the best songs, like "Friends from The Other Side" and "Ma Belle Evangeline", an amazing prince with a great character arch (Naveen is everything), and some beautiful animation, but it has a hardworking young woman with one of the best princess' songs ever (Almost There is extremely underrated). Ashidanza!

4. Atlantis: The Lost Empire 

I will never get why this movie isn't more acknowledged. It has everything, adventure, mythology, romance, comedy, betrayal, an extremely scary villain (who is scary because he is simply an evil human), redemption, and action. What else could you ask for? Milo Thatch is literally one of the most lovable and righteous Disney characters ever, Kida is a badass and extremely brave, the crew is diverse and well balanced, and it's over all a very enjoyable movie with a great message.

3. Brother Bear

I'm just going to start by saying I always felt this movie was like a brother to Tarzan. Why? Because Phil Collins made songs for both, songs which made both movies awesome and extremely memorable. Sadly, Brother Bear never got as much recognition or attention, but I rewatched it the other day and it is so good and wholesome. It's a story about personal growth, loss, belief, and love, and family. Not to mention the gorgeous visuals of the mountain lights and the animal spirits and the very wise Tanana. Also, Kodak is a precious little bear who deserves all the love in the world.

2. The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea

I am well aware that Disney sequels are not all the best, but this one was a bop hit. It's a very similar story to the first one, except this time Melody, Ariel and Eric's daughter, wants to be mermaid (she sings "For a Moment" aka one of the best Disney songs ever), there's no big romance, and Ursula's sister, Morgana, is a pretty good villain. It's a hidden gem.

1. Treasure Planet 

And finally Treasure Planet. The most underrated Disney film, and the greatest adventure there is. Disney's intergalactic take on "Treasure Island" takes us on a journey with Jim, a rebellious teenager who only wants more than his provincial little galactic town can offer (and an amazing theme song, "I'm still here") and his adventure when he finds a map to a treasure. This is by far one of the best Disney films out there.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
