I concur, this along with Millenium Actress...

The Brave Little Toaster

[QUOTE="Pffrbt"]I would say Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Thief and the Cobbler are underrated. MrGeezer

In comparison to most other animated classics I hardly ever see it mentioned. It doesn't even have a Blu-Ray release yet last time I checked.

Chicken Run

Animal Farm. It's supposed to be a good movie, but even still was vastly better than I was expecting.

The Plague Dogs: Possibly the most relentlessly bleak and profoundly miserable movie you will find in the 'kid' section.

Bartok the Magnificent: The only Don Bluth spinoff actually directed by Bluth, and possibly the only dtv spinoff that's superior to the movie that spawned it.

Beowulf. Not entirely successful, but some very memorable scenes and impressive set pieces.

Cats don't Dance: very overlooked and well made effort from the director of the Emporor's New Groove.

Hey Good Lookin': One of Bakshi's more interesting and better efforts. I rate it after Fritz, Heavy Traffic, American Pop, but more coherent than Coonskin and his Fantasy films.

Maybe not underrated but I don't really see it getting mentioned anywhere.

Persepolis

Anastasia

Maybe not underrated but I don't really see it getting mentioned anywhere.

Persepolis

StrifeDelivery

solid film.

Probably been mentioned but

Iron Giant- I'm amazed at how many people haven't seen this since it's so well rec'd on the nets

Secret of Nimh

Beowulf

The Rescuers Down Under

The Emperor's New Groove. It might be my favourite Disney movie of all time. The animation isn't as compelling as some older Disney films or even some newer ones like Princess and the Frog, but it has an amazing cast of characters and humour.

Doesn't even come close to Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Beowulf is primarily motion capture though. Why don't you consider that live action?

Batman: The Mask of Phantasm

It got stellar reviews but it didn't do well in theaters. Incredible film though.

Probably Hercules and the Emperor's New Groove.

Secret of NIMH love that movie.

'A Scanner Darkly'.

The Plague Dogs has been mentioned, but it's a really amazing (though immensely depressing) movie.

Felidae is a really bizarre one, but pretty cool. Definitely not for kids, but it's not a Fritz the Cat type of "adult" movie. It's just dark and surprisingly gory.

A Monster In Paris, Not the greatest Movie ever but I don't believe it made back its budget pretty amazing Soundtrack

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Glad to see it got mentioned here already because it's a really fantastic film. If you like Batman it's something you need to check out. Ace6301

Saw that one years ago when I was younger one of my Fav Batman Movies. Seen The Dark Knight Returns Animated movies that came out reccently ? I wouldn't consider them the same level as Mask Of The Phantasm but still pretty decent.
