Underrated Disney Movies

This year Disney is turning 100 this year in the month of January. So if you wanna know more about underrated Disney movies then we have the best movies for you to give it watch. 

Although these movies are termed as “unpopular Disney movies,” just because they are unpopular, doesn’t mean they are not worth your time. So if you are looking for such movies then, here is a whole list of such movies, that you can give watch.

Not all Disney movies are able to create such a magical experience, as most of the popular like Cinderella, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Frozen. 

There are a lot of movies out there, which are just good, but came a little short in producing that amount of magical experience for their audience. 

Underrated Animated Movies

Animated movies are what made Disney what they are today. Disney cartoons and animated characters have left a huge mark on our hearts. 

Whenever we think of Disney, we think of the huge mouse ears of Mickey mouse, no wonder he is one of the most popular animated characters in the world. 

But today we are talking about the underrated Disney movies and among the animated genre, the most underrated but great movies are listed below.

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr.Toad

The Story of Ichabod Crane and Mr. Toad may not be as popular as some of the more commercial movies of Disney but is definitely an emotionally awakening one among the underrated Disney movies. 

Atlantis: The Lost Empire

One of the more shocking underrated Disney movies is Atlantis: The Lost Empire. The movie has amazing character development, a fast-paced plot, and an all-over adventure-based storyline, that will be great for any audience. 

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

One of the most heart-aching movies of Disney is The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The story of Quasimodo and Esmeralda is a story that many can relate to. The Movie is full of many amazing musical notes like, ‘Sanctuary.’

Tarzan

The animated version of the movie Tarzan is shockingly termed as an underrated Disney movie, but I don’t know how. For most 90’s kids, the love story between Jane Porter and Tarzan is a beautiful love story that is worth seeing ball you Disney lovers out should definitely watch it. 

90’s Disney Movies Nostalgia

Although the things Disney is coming out with now are great, as a 90’s kid myself, I can’t get over the simpler days when Disney movies were just magical. 

For ’90s kids, living in nostalgia is becoming a part of our lives, so here is a taste of that 90’s nostalgia that you should crave. 

Hocus Pocus

Nothing can be better than the story of three witches and the three teenage girls, racing against time to stop those evil witches from becoming immortal. 

The movie is a great example of a fun family movie. No wonder a sequel of this film is being made after so many years in 2022, with the original cast. 

The Lizzie Mcguire Movie

We all remember the massively popular The Lizzie McGuire Show, but it doesn’t make any sense as to why The Lizzie McGuire Show is on the list, but it is what it is. The movie beautifully captures the essence of the spunky teen Lizzie McGuire played by Hillary Duff.

Camp Rock

For the kids of the early 2000s, there was no One Direction or BTS, the only boyband we knew and thirsted over was The Jonas Brothers. The three brothers stole our hearts with their cute looks and amazing vocals. 

This is why their film starring Demi Lovato was regarded as an instant hit, but it still remained underrated. Although if you wanna see the movie Camp Rock then it is a great way to pass your time. 

The Cheetah Girls

Well, girl bands were all the rage back in the 2000s and among them, the best was The Cheetah Girls. The spunky and sassy personalities of each of the girls, and their tunes and dance moves are what made the movie a cult hit, with simple ‘cheetah-licious’ fashion by all the girls.

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

The wacky movie Confession of a Teenage Drama Queen is something that is probably just a one-time watch, but hey, that is enough to enjoy the weird teenage drama of the 2000s that made us cringe. 

The film is the best example of being a cringe-worthy movie, but if you like something like that then this is a great movie for you. 

Disney Drama Movies For The Whole Family

One of the best movie genres is the Drama movies made by Disney, there are a variety of ways they go about creating a sense of drama and mystery in their movies. So if you’re interested in knowing the underrated Disney movies in the drama genre then here they are. 

The Rocketeer

The movie Rocketeer is an energetic, charming, and quite entertaining superhero film. But compared to the films Disney is producing now (with Marvel, of course) is way more poetic and creates a big on-screen effect. 

That is what is lacking in The Rocketeer, but even then this film is worth a watch no matter what. 

Remember The Titans

One of the best heartwarming, feel-good movies made by Disney is Remember The Titans. The spirit of high school football and the powerful emotions shown onscreen is one of the best things ever. 

The integration of different races and cultural barriers is what makes this movie highly relatable and relevant. 

Return To Oz

The dark-fantasy Disney film, which is Return of Oz, is a creepy take on the second of the three Oz books. 

Although this is an underrated Disney sequel, the film has a huge cult following. So if you still haven’t seen this movie, you should definitely see this movie at least once. 

White Fang

The undying companionship between a man and a dog is something that is very beautiful. That is exactly what has been shown in White Fang, who is a wolf-dog breed dog, and his relationship with Jack Conroy, played by Ethan Hawke. The film is based on a novel of the same name, written by White Fang. 

The Journey of Natty Gann

This is yet another great example of the everlasting bond between an animal and a human. Well in this case it is a girl and a wolf, who shadow her in her journey as a protector. The plot of the movie is simple, yet it is heartwarming and comforting. 

Disney Live-Action Movies

One of the types of movies, that Disney is working on right now is live-action movies. And when it comes to original live-action movies Disney has been doing great work ever since. 

Yet a few of the films listed here as underrated Disney movies are just weird to even think about. But the list still goes as such. 

The Parent Trap

A modern spin on the 60’s original The Parent Trap stars Lindsey Lohan, as her debut work. The movie is just beautiful when it comes to a remake of a film.

The story of two twin sisters meeting for the first time in a summer camp and them working together to bring their divorced parents together again is something that is worth watching over and over again. 

Enchanted

What happens when your favorite Disney princess comes to the real world? Will her prince come to her rescue? Or she falls for a normal regular guy in the real world? 

This movie is for all the fans of Disney Princess movies. And if you wanna see the sequel of this movie then it got released recently in 2022. 

The Kid

It is true that Bruce Willis can’t do a bad movie, and the same goes for the movie The Kid. Although Rotten Tomatoes calls it, “annoyingly simple,” I mean is that really a bad thing, we have enough complications in life, let the movies be simple. 

We all thought of the possibility of meeting our younger selves when we grow up, and that is exactly what happens in the movie. Give it a watch to know what happens then.

Honey, I Shrunk The Kids

When you are ¼ inches tall, even your house seems like an adventure park, and that is exactly the case you see in the hilarious adventure movie, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. 

The movie is fun for the whole family and is a great film, unlike most Disney films, which is why it is underrated. 

Tron

There are a great number of Disney movies that failed to become mainstream but still remained cult favorite like the sci-fi movie Tron. 

Released in the 1980s, you might find the graphic a bit awkward and old, but that is obvious, but the story movies at a fast pace and is full of entertainment value.
