For me, I must say I love Gurgi from The Black Cauldron. Black Cauldron was one of the very few Animated Disney films to come out when I was a kid, and that Christmas I got everything with Gurgi on it! After that Gurgi and the film, slipped away and was never heard of for many years.

Originally Posted By Disney and beyond I'll agree with a couple of the posters, sighting Humphery the Bear, Basil (and Ratigan for that matter), and I'll add my own and say (I know that some will disagree) That in recent years Roger Rabbit has gone under the radar.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'm a huge fan of Humphrey. I actually just posted in another thread how he would be a great addition (along with J Audobon Woodlore) to Grizzly Peak. They are just great together, and have some really clever things that they do. While they aren't well known at all these days, I feel like it would be pretty easy to bring them back, especially if Disney plans to release more features that have shorts before them, and their focus on environmentality continues. I'm also a really big fan of Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet, but that's just as much for the song as anything else. The Andrews Sisters are amazing, and I think it might be my favorite song of theirs. It's a shame that it's not better known, since it's so well done, and just so darn cute. The one character that I really think is one of my favorites ever is Flannery from Pigs is Pigs. That's another one with great music, hillarious visuals, and just generally fun situations. It does a great job making fun of itself and stereotypes of all different sorts. It's a great short, with a great leading character who's painfully relatable.

Originally Posted By basil fan >House of mouse needs to be put on DVD. Second the motion! Definitely the Song of the South crew, but considering the status of their movie... Although none of the Black Cauldron characters really get their due, Fllewddur is the most under-used. He's really an endearing character (IMHO), but is missing from so many places that feature the others. Maybe it's because they can't spell his name?

Originally Posted By u k fan I should also add that most of the characters in Atlantis are underrated. There were just a few too many! Almost any of them could have been the subject of their own, very entertaining, movie!!!

Originally Posted By Route66 Dab How did I know you'd say that! Did you ever get a chance to go to Disneyland when they did the Disney Afternoons promotion? I remember the parade and also they turned the old Motor Boat ride into Gummi Glen.

You could also meet Baloo in his dressing room. He had both Talespin and Jungle Book memorabilia in there.
