10) Pound Puppies: The Legend Of Big Paw - So I grew up on the Pound Puppies. So sue me. A lot of people pan this movie, but I think that it has aged rather well. The characters are memorable, the songs(save for the villain's number)are catchy and the story may be dumb, but it's that endearing, 80's kind of dumb. In short, a good movie.
9) Titan A.E. - Once again, I don't understand why so many people throw shade at this one. The characters are great, the story is great, The visuals are stunning and "Cosmic Castaway" is a great song and the reason I got into the band Electrasy way back when. Also, as a major leg man, Stith has legs for lightyears.
8) The Elm-chanted forest - Probably the most obscure movie on this list, It's a regular diamond rough. It's got loveable characters, a good story, an interesting art style and a surprisingly good soundtrack. Don't believe me on that last one?
7) Joseph: King of Dreams - Stunning animation from dreamworks? Check. Amazing soundtrack? Check. Top-Notch acting? Check. Making an animated movie of of my favorite story in The Bible? Double Check.
Good movie all around? Triple Check.
6) The Pebble and The Penguin - Another underrated gem from the mind of Don Bluth: It's also the most polarizing of his films. Considering that it suffered the most from corporate meddling amd rushed animation, it's not surprising. Hell, Bluth himself yeeted himself from the credits with the old "Alan Smithee". In spite of that, The characters are funny, the soundtrack is catchy(Shout out to The Good Ship Misery) and the actors clearly gave their all, especially Tim Curry who hams it up like mad as Drake.
5) Care Bears: The Movie & Care Bears The Movie 2: A New Generation - #5 ends up a tie between the two Care Bears movies. On one hand, the first movie had the better story and soundtrack. On the other hand, The sequel had the better acting and much better characters. It really was an uphill struggle to choose which one was better. So, they both get the fifth spot.
4) Chicken Little: I've said on multiple occasions that this is my all-time favorite disney movie and I will defend it to the death. It's got clever writing, memorable characters and witty and well-timed humor. Will I can understand while some people might not like this movie, I still stand by the fact that this is one of the best movies produced by the mouse.
3) The Brave Little Toaster: OH SHIT SON! Now we're getting to the true masterpieces. What can I say about this film that hasn't been said before? It's got a PHENOMENALLY dark stry, with a TRUCKLOAD of analogies for death and passing on to the other side, this movie pulls absolutely no punches. A special mention to the soundtrack; specifically the song "Worthless". How THAT got rated only PG I'll never know.
2) Rock-A-Doodle: Ah yes, what I personally consider to be Don Bluth's magnum opus; Everything about this movie is fantastic, from the characters to the story to the animation to the outstanding soundtrack. Seriously, I'm pretty sure this movie is what gave me my love of Country/Bluegrass. I really can't stress enough just how great this film is.
1) Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland: THIS. MOVIE. IS. A. GOD. BLESSED. MASTERPIECE. This movie IS my childhood. A movie so good, I wore out the tape as a kid. Then, proceeded to wear out the replacement soon after. This movie has everything; a Memorable cast of characters, a gripping story, Mickey Rooney as a cigar chomping clown and a soundtrack that can only be described a lordly. Seriously, If there is one animated movie that should be preserved as an endearing memory of the human race; just one piece of media to show god to convince him to postpone the rapture for just a little longer, it's this one.
And now, for some honorable mentions:
5) Thumbelina: as staed with the #10 spot, this is the type of movie that is endearingly dumb. Sort of a "So bad it's good" deal.
4) The Tale of Tillie's Dragon: Very obscure, but still a sweet little short film.
3) Anastasia: A bluth film that was confused for a Disney movie that now, thanks to the Fox buyout, Is now actually a Disney film, making Anastasia a Disney Princess by Proxy.
2) The Three Caballeros: So I'm gay for Panchito. So what?
1) Wizards: If Rock-A-Doodle is Don Bluth's magnum opus, then Wizards is Ralph Bakshi's magnum opus. 'Nuff said.
Now let me just get you a to-go box and you can be on your way.
My pick for honorable mentions go to the first two An American Tail movies, the original one and Fievel Goes West. I especially love Bridget as she’s my favorite female character in the An American Tail franchise
