I thought I'd throw this one out for discussion. It's overshadowed by Mary Poppins. And Roger Rabbit gets a lot more love when discussing live action/cartoon combinations.

But I really liked this movie as a youngster and I've watched it a couple times as an adult and it holds up pretty good.

Plus, it has a nice set of songs. In particular, Portobello Road may be my 2nd favorite obscure Disney movie song behind Not in Nottingham from Robin Hood.

Any thoughts?

i grew up in the 80's and this was the first movie my family recorded with a VCR off HBO. my sister and i would watch it all the time.

the soccer cartoon scene and the knights battling the nazi's were the shite.

it's one of my favorite old school disney movies.

Great flick. I loved it as kid and we watched it with our son a couple months ago. It does hold up. I enjoyed it more than Mary Poppins.

Definitely an underrated movie that doesn't get mentioned enough. The English accent on the little brother is something serious
