Underrated Animated Movies and TV Shows
These are in MY own personal opinion the animated movies and TV shows that I think are enormously underrated. Underappreciated soundtrack, character development and/or design, plotline, movie message/s or even theme of the movie itself. I highly recommend you check this movies and/or rewatch them (with new and different eyes if you can) and try to see the good side of them rather than aspects that may not be well received nowadays (cheesiness, slight inaccuracy, common tropes, etc.)
