Forgotten Animated Disney Movies That Deserve Another Look

1. The Rescuers Down Under (1990)

While many didn’t demand a follow-up to the 1977 Disney film The Rescuers, The Rescuers Down Under (1990) is surprisingly better than the original. This adventure focuses on two mouse rescue agents who travel to the Australian Outback to save a boy kidnapped by a poacher. The film boasts impressive aerial sequences, a beautifully realized Australian wilderness, and vibrant animation. Though overshadowed by the massive successes of The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, it remains a fondly remembered favorite for those who grew up watching VHS tapes in the 1990s.

2. Onward (2020)

I really feel like Pixar’s Onward got unfairly overlooked, and it breaks my heart. Released right as everything shut down in early 2020, it just didn’t have a chance in theaters. It did okay with streaming, but I think a lot of people were understandably focused on what was happening in the world and missed out. Even now, five years later, it rarely gets mentioned when we talk about the best Pixar films, which is a shame. It’s a truly lovely movie – a magical adventure with gorgeous animation, characters you instantly fall for, and a surprisingly touching story about loss and learning to move forward. It deserves more recognition!

3. Treasure Planet (2002)

Released in 2002, Treasure Planet is a unique animated film that reimagines Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island in a futuristic, intergalactic setting. It came out during a time when CGI animation was becoming more popular thanks to films like Toy Story and Shrek, but unfortunately, it didn’t do well in theaters. However, over time, Treasure Planet has gained a dedicated fanbase who appreciate its compelling characters, stunning blend of storybook and science fiction visuals, and heartfelt story about finding your purpose. As one character famously says, it truly has the potential to be a classic.

4. Dinosaur (2000)

Released in 2000, Disney’s Dinosaur was a pioneering film for the studio, blending live-action with computer animation. It tells the story of a dinosaur and his adopted family searching for a new home after a devastating meteor strike. Despite being the top-grossing animated movie of its year, receiving good reviews, and even inspiring a Disney World ride, the film has largely been forgotten. It seems to have gotten lost in the transition between Disney’s successful Renaissance period and its later films.

5. The Black Cauldron (1985)

1985’s The Black Cauldron is a somewhat divisive Disney film. It wasn’t a hit when it came out and is often called the movie that nearly ruined Disney, due to its poor box office performance and criticisms for deviating from the original books, as well as being too dark and having underdeveloped characters. However, over the last 40 years, it’s gained a dedicated fanbase who appreciate its distinctive dark fantasy style, beautiful animation, and truly frightening villain.

6. Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

Among Disney fans, Atlantis: The Lost Empire is likely the least forgotten film, with many passionately hoping for a live-action adaptation. However, it’s not widely known by the general public and Disney rarely mentions it. This is probably because it came out right after Disney’s hugely successful Renaissance period and was very different from the popular Disney movies audiences expected.

The film is a fun, action-packed adventure about a team of explorers searching for the lost city of Atlantis and a powerful ancient force. While not flawless, it boasts beautiful animation, a unique Jules Verne-inspired style, and memorable characters.

7. Meet the Robinsons (2007)

As a huge Disney fan, I always felt bad for Meet the Robinsons. It came out in 2007, a tricky time for Disney after the Renaissance era, and it just didn’t catch on with audiences like Pixar’s films did. It didn’t do well in theaters, and plans for a sequel were scrapped. But over the years, this movie about a young orphan inventor traveling to the future has really grown on me. It’s surprisingly touching, full of wonderfully weird characters, and has this really cool, optimistic, retro-future vibe that I absolutely love. It’s definitely developed a dedicated fanbase, and for good reason!

8. Brother Bear (2003)

Disney’s Brother Bear, released in 2003, is a beautifully animated film that often gets overlooked. It came out around the same time as hugely popular movies like Lilo & Stitch, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles, which tended to steal the spotlight. However, Brother Bear tells a touching story about family and forgiveness that appeals to everyone. It also boasts stunning animation of North American landscapes, a memorable soundtrack by Phil Collins, and excellent voice performances from Joaquin Phoenix and Jeremy Suarez.

9. A Bug’s Life (1998)

Despite being a Pixar film, 1998’s A Bug’s Life often gets overlooked when people discuss the studio’s most important works. While some consider it a classic – and rightfully so – it’s largely seen as less memorable than other major Pixar titles. The creative story centers on a good-hearted, but awkward, ant who tries to save his colony from danger. He accidentally recruits a mismatched group of circus performers – a flea circus! – for help. The movie is visually appealing and full of funny, well-developed characters. It also delivers a surprisingly powerful message about community and the downsides of unchecked capitalism, making it ahead of its time.

10. Bolt (2008)

Released in 2008, Bolt was generally well-received and did okay at the box office, but today it’s largely forgotten. The movie tells the story of a dog actor on a popular TV show who genuinely believes he has superpowers. After running away, he must find his way home and learn what’s real. Coming between Disney’s celebrated Renaissance period and the successful era that started with Tangled in 2010, and during Pixar’s peak, Bolt didn’t achieve the same artistic success or lasting impact. However, it remains a sweet and enjoyable adventure with a talented voice cast and lively animation.

11. Frankenweenie (2012)

Despite being released in 2012, Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie is surprisingly overlooked, even when people talk about Halloween movies for families. That’s unfortunate, because the film is a creatively made and fun parody of classic sci-fi horror, with a lot of talent behind it. It’s based on a short film Burton made for Disney back in 1984, and tells the story of a boy who brings his dog back to life – which leads to trouble when his friends try to do the same. With beautiful black-and-white stop-motion animation and lovable characters, this forgotten Burton film is genuinely heartwarming, even with its spooky premise.
