Frequently asked questions
What counts as an underrated animation movie?
On this page: a score of 7.0 or higher from between 150 and 1,200 people. That combination finds films audiences loved but not many found — Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is the current leader at 9.2.
Are these movies actually any good?
Every one is rated above 7.0 by the people who saw it. They are obscure because of distribution and marketing, not quality — which is exactly why lists like this are worth scrolling.
