For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don’t think it’s excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.

IMO it would have been better received if it wasn’t advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.

    We’re back: a dinosaur story

    Rock-a-doodle

    The Pagemaster

    Once upon a forest

    Aladdin 2 and 3

    Jetsons: The Movie

    I’m probably overrating these because I saw them as a kid.

      I never saw The Pagemaster as a kid and my wife introduced me to it at 32 years old. It holds up!

      I had confusing feelings when I saw “We’re Back” in theatres.

      Then confusing feelings about Tails

      Then confusing feelings about Robin Hood and Maid Marian

      …oh no

      I enjoyed We’re Back, but it was weirdly dark, and I am positive it wouldn’t age well if I rewatched today.

      Hehe yeah, a little worried about watching rock-a-doodle now as an adult, it was great when I was a kid. We knew enough french to get the name pun (chant eclair = sing clearly) at the time and I guess that helped it feel a little more special for us. Not sure if the movie would still hold up from what I remember of it.
