Most Disney films leave a lasting impact on any child who sees them, filling their imaginations with wonder and excitement. Then there are the forgettable flops that never got their own ride at Disneyland.
The Black Cauldron
Release date: Jan 1, 1985
Best line from a review: "Possibly not the worst animated feature the House Of Mouse has produced, but certainly stumbling around the darker recesses of the Disney vault." -Empire Magazine
Reason you forgot about it: The Black Cauldron was not based on a story that was familiar to its audience, and most people agree that it was probably a little too dark for younger viewers.

The Great Mouse Detective
Release date: Jul 2, 1986
Best line from a review: "It's a lot of fun." -Roger Ebert
Reason you forgot about it: Actually, your guess is as good as mine. The Great Mouse Detective actually did really well critically, but still didn't quite breakthrough to become a classic.

Oliver & Company
Release date: Nov 18, 1988
Best line from a review: "Billy Joel sang it best: 'Why should I care?'" -Eric Henderson
Reason you forgot about it: Oliver & Company was one of Disney's first films to use computer-assisted animation, which some people found off-putting. It was also released during a low point for Disney.

The Rescuers Down Under
Release date: Nov 16, 1990
Best line from a review: "I had my first epileptic seizure while watching this film. It was more exciting than this tepid sequel." -Alex Sandell
Reason you forgot about it: Disney has never had much luck with sequels in theaters, and The Rescuers Down Under seemed to be a little too violent for most people.
