Way back in September I did my very first Disney for the Weekend post. The topic was under-appreciated films and I assured you that it was only part one of two. As I promised, I’m back with part two so let’s take this time to reminisce about some of the best (but under-loved) Disney movies out there!
Okay, seriously. My brother used to LOVE Tall Tale and I feel like I watched it maybe 10,000 times during my childhood. I may have hated it then because I was forced to watch it, but now I think it’s pretty great. I forced my husband to watch it (hehe) and I was giggling and generally loving the Disney magic from start to finish. I also finally realized that Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe at Disney World is named after, well, Pecos Bill from Tall Tale. Duh. This is just such a really cool movie! It introduced me to stories I’d never heard, my favorite being Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.
How can any under-appreciated list really be complete without Treasure Planet? This is another movie that I’m pretty sure we bought for my brother, but I ended up falling in love with it. I own it now on blu-ray and I’ve watched it more than a few times as an adult. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I actually realized it was based on Treasure Island… I absolutely adore the characters in this movie and the graphics are incredible! Not to mention the amazing music by John Rzeznik.
