We all know that the Walt Disney Company has put out some legendary movies throughout its history (and some bad ones too). However, even there are a few good ones that are still forgotten to the people. So what I'd like you to do is mention any Disney movie (animated, non-animated or both) that you think deserves more attention.

One of those few that I'd like to point out is Pete's Dragon. I watched that movie ever since I was one, and it remains one of the few that I'll love forever. Yet for some reason no one seems to remember it. It even contains stars such as Helen Reddy, Mickey Rooney, Shelly Winters, and Red Buttons. It also shows great interaction with real life acting and animation.

Pirates of the Caribbean.

Is tarzan underated?

god,yes

God, where did those innocent moments go?

Disney's Nadia! I mean… Atlantis!

Anyone else remember that limited-edition Atlantis cereal that revealed Atlantean symbols when you poured milk on them?

Sheesh, you're all making me nostalgic. These are some good ones (BTW, Pete's Dragon is my wife's favorite), but I'm gonna have to go with…

(Hmm, I never noticed that Kurtz misspelled "Lansbury".)

Yes, My sister would chime in with "I'm making animé happen!" when she poured the milk.

How about underrated Universal movies?

I remember that movie! and If My memory serves me due to the baby sitting I've done I'm Pretty sure the Series is on XXIV

Oh yeah, Bedknobs and Broomsticks is also one that should be mentioned.

I always hated most of Disney's movies, besides Pirates of the Caribbean.

TRON!

Actually, the original TRON is incredibly overrated.

Wasn't ponyo made by disney?

It was by Hayao Miyazaki, Disney translated it and gave it an English release.

The Sword in the Stone.

OR

The Black Cauldron.

That Friggin' movie about the talking gourd or whatever the hell it was… Had the voice of Zach Efron from High School Musical, so it was just another reason to gag. They adapted it from a Chinese movie, and by "Adapted", I mean "Dubbed". Horribly.

I dunno about you, but my favorite part was always before the movie started:

I'd like to take this time to point one certain Disney film out: "Song of the South". This is mainly because you cannot find this film on home video anywhere in America. This is due to the fact that it deals a lot with black racism in the south during the late 19th century. My mother actually had to buy the video from the U.K. on eBay and then have the tape recoded so that it would work on an American VCR. Even though the whole version of the film isn't available in the states, small parts of the film have been featured in various collections.

It's that awesome.

There is no such thing as "underrated Di$ney movie".

All of them are overrated, thanks to their huge (literally, planet-sized!) marketing machine.

any Shred of good Publicity TRON gets Especially what it got before Legacy is well deserved.
Most of TRON's hype doesn't go above "good for it's time" Tier

Sword in the Stone
The Brave Little Toaster
The Great Mouse Detective
The Black Cauldron

1. Don Bluth used to work with Disney, so I guess it could count.
2. How is Land Before Time underrated? Everyone I know watched this as a kid!

There are several ones of note for me that are already stated in this thread such as The Sword in the Stone, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, The Black Cauldron, The Great Mouse Detective, Oliver & Company, and Treasure Planet.

Though, there are some other unstated ones that I'd like to make note of as well.

For one, The Rescuers Down Under, the only Disney sequel to have made the Classics list, sadly seems to be ignored by the general populace nowadays.

Another one, to some degree, could be Aristocats as I don't hear much about it as much as I do other movies under Disney's large collection.

Lastly, though some people may debate me on this being a good movie, I actually liked Home on the Range and wish it got more praise, if only for Alameda Slim alone.

So, yeah… Disney movies rock my socks off.
