Wifey and I JUST rewatched this last week and agree it's the best Disney animated film no one remembers.

But they should.

Another solid essay.

Merci, it’s so darn solid, it and Brother Bear yet they never get a mention. Love this movie.

This is my favourite essay of Bros Krynn this week… possibly this month. Dan really nailed it here.

I love Brother Bear and the direct-to-video/DVD Sequel wasn’t that bad either. One of the better Disney Animated Sequels.

So true, I freaken loved this movie!... and then... somehow forgot it!

I also loved the game, it was so good! (Also underrated).

This movie seems to get lost, (personal theory, from my own experience, is that it's similar to the name "Treasure Island" which is more famous and drowns out treasure planet).

You have inspired me to watch it again in the next day or so!

YAY! I’m so glad to be of service happy viewing! And it’s a great story I agree. As to the game Black Knight’s recommended it but I’ve never played it lol.

OK! So, true to my word... I watched this again last night with my friend's wife, who had seen it, and their 13 year-old son who had never seen it.

It was awesome!

They both loved it and the kid said the same thing: "Yeah, why isn't anyone talking about this?"

I even took a photo for evidence... but it won't let me post it in the comments :P

You can private message it to me if you want. Damn but that must have been awesome, I love this movie and hope to have a kid to show it to him someday also.

Go to NY. The girls there like French Canadians and are sick of the city...

I have two female friends there that married French Canadians.

Criminally underrated film that was robbed of the chance of a sequel.
