And no, this isn't another Treasure Planet inspired thread. 
This was actually inspired by The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and The Emperor's New Groove, all movies that I recently watched and really appreciated (and this was actually the first time in several years that I've 'Hunchback' and I have to say, I've really been missing out). Well, while watching them I started thinking: Hey, these movies are pretty awesome, why don't I ever hear people talking about them? How come all this great music isn't nearly as widely known? Why can't I find a Kuzco plush in any Disney store anywhere? =(
(Okay, yeah, I think that way about Treasure Planet too.
)
So anyway, I just think that it's a little unfair for certain movies to end up virtually forgotten by the mainstream in only a few years while other movies that aren't any better quality wise are forever lauded as classics. Not complaining about the ones that get the fame, most are perfectly deserving of their fame, but why the narrow focus on only a select few movies? I could walk into any Disney Store and find twenty each of Stitch and Princess items in minutes (the same old predictable princesses that get all the attention, I might add), but it would take either a well-stocked flea market or a few days on eBay to find any sort of merchandise at all from The Emperor's New Groove. The other two (non-TP) movies fared somewhat better, I think, but it's still harder than need be to find decent merchandise.
And really, it's not just about the merchandise, but the pride. They were all terrific movies that have bees passed over for no good reason at all. Where's the justice?
Okay, discuss. Are there any Disney movies that you think have been unfairly treated in the long run, or would just like to see more of around the parks and stores?
