12 Underrated '80s And '90s Animated Movies

The ‘80s and ‘90s are full of brilliant animated films with engaging storylines, great sing-along songs, and plenty of moving moments. These decades have a ton of animated, beloved classics, but let’s talk about the underrated ‘80s and ‘90s animated movies, many of them streaming.

My definition of "underrated" is an enjoyable movie that was either a box office failure at its time, received negative or mixed reviews, one that was only truly popular among a cult audience, or a lesser-known film to casual animated movie watchers. For this list, I limited it to mainly family-friendly animated films. If it was brilliant, but a little too dark for children, I didn’t include it. I also limited myself to only a few underrated Disney animated movies, because many of those films are too popular to be underrated.
