7 sadly neglected Disney movies

Posted by / September 16, 2014

It’s a rare individual who hasn’t Disney’s Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty or Frozen, but if you’ve reached the breaking point watching the same four movies over, and over, and over again, Remy Carreiro at Neatorama has seven other Disney movies there’s a great chance you missed and lend some much needed diversity to the same old happily-ever-after fare.

1. The Black Cauldron

Of all the Disney animated films, this one was my favorite growing up, yet it seems like seven people saw it. Based on the book of the same name by Lloyd Alexander, The Black Cauldron was awesome because it was darker than most of the stuff we were getting from Disney at that point. Just the Horned King as the main villain was enough of a selling point. Add to that the simple fact that he raised an army of the dead to fight for him and you realize this was the first Disney movie with zombies. Animated zombies at that, and years before they were popular. How did that not receive wide appeal is beyond me, and that will be a running theme of this list.

If you have not seen The Black Cauldron, you need to go find a copy, right now. It just proves Disney needs to do more fantasy stuff.

2. Robin Hood

Why is it when people talk animated Disney movies, no one talks about Robin Hood? The 1973 animated adaptation of the famous character that featured characters from OTHER Disney movies was awesome. Other characters from the Jungle Book, to be specific. Yes, it was like they went and got the cast of The Jungle Book to act in a play about Robin Hood. How cool is that, and why don’t they do it more often?
