Okay...this thread is leaving me a bit confused here. I mean, are we putting up our opinions on what's underrated based on audience thoughts or merchandise marketing? Because I've noticed some of the titles you guys have been listing did make occasional comebacks to the store shelves from time to time...although recently we did just pass the 50th anniversary of
Mary Poppins a while ago and I'll bet you that, even at the
Disney Store, there was barely any merchandise related to it--except, of course, I think, some kind of a bag or something. And I guess in merchandising terms, I'd have to say the majority of Pixar films, because while some of it has returned to Disney Store for a while and still continue to be sold via Toys 'R Us and Hallmark--plus on and off as graphic tees over at Hot Topic--I'm still constantly having to shop online for those via
Amazon and eBay! Especially the
WALL-E stuff because it's my all-time personal favorite. And when I volunteered at one of my old schools, I did not see any
Inside Out backpacks or lunchboxes being used...
Too bad all they ever sell for most of the time is
Toy Story and
Cars--which I find to be a problem that frustrates me every time I shop, and I especially mean ever since I officially entered Pixar fandom between junior high and high school years! Still, I'd have to agree with you guys about the classic Disney films, too...'cause I'll bet those of you growing up in the 70s and 80s didn't see much merchandise for
The Black Hole or
Tron, either! (And I say this because of listed findings on recent eBay searches...)
Sorry. Rant over. Frustrating, isn't it?
