WE'VE DECIDED TO MAKE A MAFIA AU. (If you don't know, a Bendy and the Ink Machine mafia AU is what started Writing Entity and I on Tumblr.) This time, it started because of a mix of Writing Entity's grandpa and the Disney Medfield trilogy that nobody cares about but was very important to my childhood. Basically, I noticed that the slapstick gangsters in the Medfield trilogy (A.J. Arno and Chillie or Cookie) are a lot like Megatron and Starscream. This AU is pretty straightforward, 'cause G1's already super Mafiaey. I did guess that Optimus may feel strange going against the law, and that Skyfire would have no idea who's good and bad when he randomly shows up. This is basically a glorified excuse to draw them all in eccentrically tasteful suits.

Underrated Disney Movies

The Great Locomotive Chase 

If you like a good bit of historical drama, this is one of Disney’s finest. Based off of real events during the Civil War, the movie does the great job of showcasing everyone, both Union and Confederate alike, as being believable and relatable. There are no villains here, just people doing what the they believe is their duty to their country. Very much how real war works. 

  Swiss Family Robinson

I thought everyone loved this movie. Imagine my surprise when it didn’t make The Critic's Disneycember because it wasn’t well known enough. This must be corrected. If you haven’t seen it yet do yourself a favor and watch it. It’s one of Disney’s best Live Action films ever made.  

The Incredible Journey and the remake  Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

Both are good but for different reasons. The original is more moody and serious and is inspired by documentaries with only a narrator speaking. While the remake has more humor and camaraderie between the characters.  It all depends upon what type of mood your in, but I’d recommend either.  

The Misadventures of Merlin Jones &  The Monkey's Uncle 

Think of these films as a more upbeat and kooky versions of the Absent Minded Professor. Only the “professor” here is actually a collage kid and his girlfriend is actually sportive, and he comes up with numerous inventions not just one. Both movies play out like episodes of tv show that sadly never got made.  

That Darn Cat! ( 1997 ) 

The only Disney remake that I’ll claim is actually better then the original non-stop. I could list for days how much it improves upon the 60′s movie but to simplify; It’s has better pacing, has better humor, streamlines the plot and cuts the fat, places the focus of the story on where it needs to be (the friendship between the girl and the cop), removes unnecessary love triangles and creepy stalker boyfriends, ect. ect. ect.  

The Gnome-Mobile

this movie was my child-hood. I sung the gnome-mobile song for days. even  Leonard Maltin agrees with me that the film should receive more recognition.  “ this as one of Disney's best comedy-fantasy films, and it is a "mystery" why the film is not better known. It deserves to be rediscovered and enjoyed by a new generation, especially younger children.”

The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Now You See Him Now You Don't , and  The Strongest Man in the World  

These films are spiritual successors to the Flubber movies. Along with Merlin Jones and they crate what it know among Disney fans as the  Medfield College series. If you enjoy  The Absent Minded Professor, then you should really check these out. 

The Boatniks

The Boatniks is the funniest damn comedy I have ever seen. Of course humor is subjective and your mileage may vary but  Boatniks does something that very few films do, it pokes fun at people without being mean-spirited or belittling. The plot behind Boatniks is convoluted but the premise is simple. “People are idiots.” It’s not that they’re stupid, it’s that they screw up and make mistakes.  Everyone, from the heroes, to the villains, to one shot gag characters, does dumb things for comedic effect in the film but not without reason. Everyone is relatable or at least understandable and most are so good natured that you can’t help but laugh with them and not at them.   

Herbie Rides Again

You can keep The Love Bug, This is the only Herbie movie I care about. It’s so surreal and off the wall that no other movie about a living car can top it. 

The Apple Dumpling Gang

This and the squeal are my dad’s favorite Disney movies so it makes the list for nostalgia alone. 

The Cat from Outer Space

It’s a movie about a talking cat, what more could you ever want?

Hot Lead and Cold Feet

The second funniest movie on this list

Don’t Look Under the Bed

I like Hocus Pocus as much as the next guy, but this is the Disney movie that I watch every Halloween. 

Man of the House

I know it’s a thing now-a-days to diss any movie with Jonathan Taylor Thomas that isn’t The Lion King, but this was made back during his height of popularity with a Chevy Chase at the top of his game. While some may call it a “home alone” knock off, I actually find the way the movies deals with father issues and coming from a single parent family refreshing. At least for the time.
