However, I'm not sure if some of these will class as classic Disney films, as I've come up with an idea for us all to create lists of the most underrated Disney film from each decade (can include live action, too). What would it be for you? Include reasons if you wish.
1940s: The Three Caballeros
I've only seen this movie once and found it the second most enjoyable of the four (or maybe five, as I may have seen Saludos Amigos as a young child) package films that I have seen. However, some find it the conttendor for the studio's worst list. Okay, it's not amazing, but it deserves better.
Runner up: Dumbo/Ichabod and Mr Toad (tie)
1950s: Alice in Wonderland
I've not seen any Disney live action films of the 1950s, so I'll have to go with Alice. It's my favourite of the decade, and whilst popular, it does get the least amount of attention compared to her decade mates.
Runner up: Sleeping Beauty
1960s: Pollyanna
Whilst considered a classic amongst Disney fans, it's often overlooked by the mainstream crowd, so I'll go with Pollyanna as the most underrated film of this certain decade.
Runner up: The Sword in the Stone
1970s: Robin Hood
It's really a shame that just because of some reused animation and the odd cliche, this film is dubbed one of Disney's worst and given little attention by the media, especially Disney themselves, when this truly is a cute film that should be given a special edition.
Runner up: Bedknobs and Broomsticks
1980s: The Black Cauldron
Whilst not the best of this decade (and not the worst, either), The Black Cauldron screams underrated the most. Often snubbed by critics and Disney enthusiasts, this film shouldn't get bullied so much.
Runner up: Return to Oz/The Great Mouse Detective (tie)
1990s: The Rescuers Down Under
Contrary to popular belief, this film is not a sequel in the same lines as The Lion King 2 or Belle's Magical World. This is a proper theatrical sequel along the lines of Toy Story 2, and yet people lump it as a lesser film (although one of the better lessers, fortunately) when it's really an animated classic. And the current DVD isn't all that great.
Runner up: Mulan/Pocahontas (tie)
2000s: Cinderella 2
Whilst we're on the topic of sequels, I actually think I should mention Cinderella 2. It is somewhat blashphemous, yet it doesn't garner the harsh reputation that it is often given as the worst thing to come out of Disney. Trust me, I have seen much worse things from the Cheese.
Runner up: Home on the Range
