Top 10 '90s Animated Movies You Forgot Existed

sometimes Rhythm makes me lose control welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 90s animated movies you forgot about well I won't be here very long I'll tell you the way I see it you probably won't be around after Christmas for this list we'll be looking at animated films from the 1990s that have since seemingly faded Into Obscurity we'll be excluding films like Anastasia and The Iron Giant which were underappreciated in their time but have since paid their dues what 90s animated flick do you think is worth revisiting let us know in the comments down below number 10. Balto adapting a true story for animation is challenging enough but doing so on the heels of Toy Story now that's damn near impossible [Music] it's quite a shame this film about the wolf dog who assisted in rescuing his town from a deadly disease failed to connect with audiences on its first go-round it's a story that celebrates individuality and the importance of perseverance despite facing rejection it's Balto's differences that allow him to finish his journey to bring medicine to his town after several kids fall ill oh that can't be legal yeah Balto wasn't the only film to be eclipsed by Pixar's Masterpiece but its sense of adventure and wholesome themes could have easily led to more thankfully it managed to gain a respectable following on home video [Music] number nine a troll in Central Park if there were a king of Forgotten animation it would have to be Don Bluth while some of his works like The Land Before Time were major hits many of them have slipped through the cracks of film history one such film follows a troll named Stanley who befriends a pair of human siblings after being banished to New York City for his friendly demeanor somewhere oh and absolutely green Patrol in Central Park is light on the heavy subject matter that usually Finds Its way into Blue's films it's also the film of his that is arguably most squarely aimed at younger audiences I'm not going the lack of marketing didn't do it justice either as audiences missed out on a Charming movie that championed The Importance of Being Yourself either that or the transformation traumatized you and you've chosen to block this movie out [Music] number Rover Dangerfield a movie starring Rodney Dangerfield is basically a canine version of himself how did we miss that so absolutely nothing to eat here yeah look in a mirror in this musical comedy the legendary stand-up lends his voice to a basset hound who is booted from his lavish digs in Las Vegas and finds a new home on the farm written by Harold Ramis and Dangerfield himself it's a strange premise to say the least it is a lot different than the dogs I've met before The wholesome the real you're true Daisy you know what you are you're the dog next door Dangerfield's signature brand of vulgar humor is largely softened to suit the film's family-friendly tone which ensured its fate as a critical and Commercial flop nevertheless Rover Dangerfield still has plenty of energy due to its Charming characters heartfelt message and of course the Title Character self-deprecating wit well it's a dog's life and I love it if there's a heaven this is it for me number seven DuckTales the movie Treasure of the Lost lamp DuckTales was a beloved staple of 80s television so much so that it inspired an equally successful reboot in 2017. so how did we forget that there was also a theatrical movie with the same sense of adventure and Nostalgia stay close Webby no telling what kind of dangers when they find in Treasure of the Lost lamp Scrooge McDuck and his Grand nephews Huey Dewey and Louie meet a genie while hunting for a long lost treasure he's a genius does his mother know about this while the boys are eager to use their three wishes they soon fall victim to a power hungry sorcerer with its hijink's heavy story and eccentric Ensemble of characters the film seemingly has it all it also works as a solid entry point for those who may be unfamiliar with the series this is one treasure we wish was never buried number six Rock-a-Doodle Glen Campbell ruled the country music scene across the 60s and 70s but it's possible that 90s kids will remember him better as the voice of chanticleer in this live-action animation hybrid a stranger snuck onto our farm to stop Chandelier from growing of course chandelier wouldn't give up without a fight The Talented rooster has a voice of gold that gives him the power to raise the Sun every morning following an incident that leaves him feeling ashamed and without purpose he sets off for the big city to become a rock star while his farm is plunged into Eternal Darkness commotion chanticleer had Plum forgot to Crow Rock-a-Doodle is another film from Don Bluth that couldn't quite live up to its potential only making a splash once it hit home video oh guys it's no use all I do now is sing the blues yet it's hard to to resist such a wacky concept especially with a voice like Campbell's leading the way through some surprisingly catchy songs number five Quest for Camelot Kaylee's goal in life is to be a knight of the round table like her father she seizes her chance when King Arthur's famous sword Excalibur is stolen by avengeful Lord on paper Quest for Camelot has everything it needed to be a bona fide hit World I'll never see a story that puts a unique spin on Arthurian mythology check songs performed by Celine Dion and Steve Perry check a two-headed dragon voiced by comedy icons Eric Idol and Don Rickles check you can't leave us here if we try to go back we'll be banished ostracized exiled not to mention kicked out unfortunately it wasn't enough to save the film from its numerous production troubles which led to its delayed release box office failure and a smiting from critics I will not serve a false King some Tales aren't meant to go down in history but just imagine how legendary this one could have been let's barbecue this bully I couldn't agree more foreign [Music] number four An American Tale Fievel Goes West continuing the story from 1986's An American Tale this riotous sequel follows the Moskowitz family as they venture to Utah to Build a Better Life along the way Fievel and tiger make a new friend in a law enforcing Bloodhound voiced by the legendary James Stewart Fievel Goes West has a greater amount of comedic moments than its predecessor though the Eternal conflict between the mice and their cat adversaries reaches an all-time high it parodies elements of the western genre for a family setting while remaining a touching Tribute to The Immigrant experience you wouldn't be an artiste if you weren't just a Teensy bit nuevas unfortunately the film had to compete with Beauty and the Beast for box office Supremacy and you can imagine which movie won the duel just remember Bible one man's Sunset is another man's Dawn number three we're back a dinosaur story The 90s may have been the best time in history to be a dinosaur fan thanks in no small part to the mega success of Jurassic Park but another film released just five months after Steven Spielberg's classic took us on an exciting albeit less terrifying adventure of its own [Music] we're back follows a group of anthropomorphic dinos who are brought to Modern Day New York City by a time traveling scientist despite having a talented voice cast and cultural phenomenon on its side the film was written off by critics as overstuffed and confusing while the 20th century appeals to me so much to learn and so much to do in resilient wonderful things to chew while that may be partly true we're back radiates so much love for its characters that it's hard not to Lose Yourself within the hilarity that follows them hi Max so this will be our little secret okay okay Number Two Cats Don't Dance just ask yourself how can a musical with songs by Randy Newman and choreography by the late great Gene Kelly be a box office disaster we're not even sure we could answer that one [Music] where the street the street pain set in Depression era Los Angeles Cats Don't Dance follows an ambitious feline named Danny who has traveled from Indiana to make it big as an actor along the way he makes a slew of animal friends finds love and learns a thing or two about stereotypes and Prejudice leaves your kindness speechless donut unlike many of the films on this list Cats Don't Dance was praised by critics for its callbacks to Golden Age Hollywood widespread appeal and infectious musical numbers yet somehow the film Spotlight faded almost as quickly as it turned on [Music] before

but James and the Giant Peach has never quite experienced the popularity of films like Matilda and Fantastic Mr Fox [Music] the film tells the story of the orphan James as he travels inside a giant peach to New York alongside a ragtag group of anthropomorphic bugs isn't it what what's fascinating tell me don't leave me dangling the film's mix of Otherworldly fantasy and zany Thrills made it the perfect vehicle for stop-motion innovator Henry Selleck who directed the film alongside producer Tim Burton [Music] doll's Widow gave her stamp of approval for the finished product and it's not hard to see why the memorable characters and glorious animation easily make this one one of the most underappreciated animated films of the decade foreign [Music] the film's mix of Otherworldly fantasy and zany Thrills made it the perfect vehicle what's a vehicle [Music] [Music]
