The Forgotten Disney Feature Animations Thread

[Bacon McShig]

Really I would say the only ones that would qualify as understated are The Sword and the Stone, The Aristocats, The Rescuers (Down Under), The Fox and the Hound, and The Great Mouse Detective. Then the newer stuff that nobody saw like Treasure Planet, Home on the Range and Atlantis.

+ Robin Hood, Oliver & Co., Recess: the Movie, Bedknobs & Broomsticks...

[Mr-K]

I meant to list Oliver & Co., but I didn't think Recess counted and Bedknobs and Broomsticks isn't all animated.

And I thought Robin Hood was pretty well regarded.

Guess not, I suppose.

[Bacon McShig]

Robin Hood's even lower on the respect totem pole than Sword in the Stone, I'm pretty sure.

Teacher's Pet was mentioned, so Recess should count as well.

Ditto Three Caballeros in relation to Bedknobs.

[YellerDog]

Robin Hood got a pretty major VHS release when (some of us) were kids. So did Sword in the Stone.

Was there anything worthwhile in the Recess movie? Teacher's Pet actually had art direction on its side.

[Bacon McShig]

Recess rocks is what it had going for it.

But if you're asking if it was anything more than an extended episode, nah, not really.

[YellerDog]

I really don't like that show! That's cool that the movie works for ya, though.

Has anyone seen Home on the Range? I think that absolutely fits in the catagory of forgotten features. I think it might deserve at least a cursory look, considering that it's the one that killed Disney 2D for the time being.

(Eisner allegedly demanded an "April" release, and it is about Cows. There was no way it was going to do well, and they used it to 'prove' that 2D wasn't viable. Self fufilling prophecy.)

I get the feeling that Robin Hood was the start of the whole furry scene so I wouldn't call it "forgotten".

[YellerDog]

That's creepy and probable.

I had a figure of Mickey from Runaway Brain when he sees Minnie looking at the green and white(I think) bathing suit. I have no idea where it is now though

[YellerDog]

Oh man, is it that vinyl "crouching evil Mickey" figure? That thing is bad-ass.
