[quote="AladdinsGenie"]I am a Disney fanatic, in general. So, it's my duty to watch all the movies and learn things about them. But which one or ones for that matter do you think are the most over looked and why? I think The Great Mouse Detective, The Rescuers+sequel, and Treasure Planet are overlooked. I was taking a Disney quiz at funtrivia.com and came upon a question that asked "What is the name of the pegleg sidekick to the villain in "The Great Mouse Detective"?" Only 2% could remember it was Fidget. I love this movie. It showcases Val Bettin-our future sultan-as Dawson. I also love the song "Good-By So Soon." It's enchantingly evil and funny. A lot of people forget that the Rescuer's Down Under came right after the Little Mermaid. That "Big Four" block of movies kinda overshadow it. I use to watch this movie all the time when I was small. I watched a lot of mice movies now that I think about it. But anyway, Wilbur and Orville was the greatest historical connection in a animated film I made at my young age, lol. I was so happy I caught and understood that. Thank-you Rescuer's and sequel. The scene where Orville gets a shot still haunts me. Thanks for that too. Treasure Planet, a recent favorite of mine. The interaction between Jim and Silver is great. "I'm Still Here" is one of my all time favorite Disney songs. I can see bits of Aladdin the movie in this film. Like when Jim is reaching out for Silver's hand. It reminds me of when Aladdin was reaching out for Jafar's hand at the Cave of Wonders. Even some of the lines they say remind me of the movie. Plus, the mix of CGI and animation in this movie is fantastic. I love watching it at night. I get the full effect of everything.[/quote]

I almost forgot. It was thanks to Homeward Bound II, that I watched KOT, almost the very week it came out. As soon as I saw the comercial thing, before the movie, well, I was hooked, especially when I saw Cassim.

Oh, so that's the name of that song he was singing when they first meet him.

It's in Muppet Treasure Island. Right when they go into the galley for the first time. He doesn't sing very long, and he doesn't sing especially well, but there's just something about him singing!

Well, can't say I'm a fan of RHPS, but Tim Curry was rather sexy singing "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor."

I love the Muppets in that movie. More importantly, I love Tim Curry in that movie.

Oliver and company. I love the music on that movie. I don't know whether it is on dvd yet. And the Homeward Bound movies. I especially love the second one. I like Pete and Ashcan, and Riley, too.

I love Newsies!! Alan Menken's music in it is to die for! In the line for the Hyperion Theater at California Adventure, they play a couple of the score pieces from that film. That's my favorite part of waiting in line.

I'd have to say one of the most over looked disney movies is Newsies. It wasn't widely known, it came out in theaters and on video like normal movies do, but since it bombed at the box office, Disney has since refused to even acknowledge it. You just don't see anything about it anymore, it seems like everything that had to do with Newsies is out of print.
I know this isn't a cartoon movie, but hey, it's still overlooked.

I'd definitely say Great Mouse Detective or Rescuers Down Under (which I believe surpassed the first film by far).
I don't nod to The Black Cauldron, even though I jumped at its release, because I am a fan of the books and I think the film butchered them. True, it's a common Disney thing to write their own story, but by then that only seemed to happen strictly with fairy tales, which had so many versions of themselves anyway. To take a series that was popular at the time and kick half the fans in the face with the changes just kind of bothered me.

Yeah, IMDB tends to be veeerry slow in taking down inaccurate info. When I was following The X-Files, I remember someone pointing out that they had Gillian Anderson's birthday wrong... even after all the e-mails sent, I think it's still listed wrong, and this was years ago.

I wish IMDB would take the page about that down so people'd stop believing that's still going to happen.
