Hercules
Hercules is the story of the son of Zeus and Hera and how they lose their son, who becomes almost fully human. Honestly, this movie is just packed with captivating characters and has a great storyline. From an innocent and naïve protagonist to a snarky mentor and a sassy love interest, this is the animated show you absolutely need to watch! Oh, and let’s not forget the villain, who is a complete mood!
Big Hero 6
Big Hero 6 is an animated film that does not get as much hype as it deserves and the reason for that is that it was overshadowed by Frozen, which was released earlier. Big Hero 6 follows the story of Hiro Hamada, a tech genius, who stumbles across his late brother’s invention, Baymax, a healthcare robot.
Hiro, after learning that his latest invention has been stolen and is being used wrongfully, decides to assemble a team and find the perpetrator. While it looks like the story is full of adventure, it is also one of the most endearing!
A Bug’s Life
One of the greatest films to come out of Disney is this masterpiece. Unfortunately, it is also criminally underrated. The movie follows the story of a colony of ants and one of them in particular, Flik, is quite an adventurous out-of-the-box thinker. When he accidentally messes up and causes a big problem for the entire colony, they decide to send him away to amend the problem.
However, Flik has other plans, and his actions once again cause a change for the entire ant colony and also, for some other insects. It might sound like a peculiar story and an even peculiar idea, but we promise you, it is worth the watch!
Tarzan
Tarzan is the story of a human baby that is raised by gorillas. Naturally, as he grows up and starts to make sense of the world around him, he learns very quickly that he does not fit in. One fateful day, he stumbles across a group of humans, and his life changes completely! For a movie this good, it is hard to see why this didn’t get as much love as it should have. Nonetheless, it is one movie that should be on your list!
Fox & The Hound
The movie follows the unlikely friendship between a fox and a hound. While both of them adore each other’s company, unfortunately, their owners do not like it one bit. The fox, Tod, forms a friendship with Copper, a hound puppy, whose owner hunts foxes as a sport.
For those of you who have watched it, you might think about why this movie is on the list, considering that it is most definitely one of your favorites. However, surprisingly, this movie is highly underrated and it is worth a watch at least once!
