What are some underrated fantasy and/or fairy tale cartoons?

I watched this all the time when I was little and completely forgot about it until one day when the memory came back. It really is a fun family movie. At the risk of using a buzzword, it really is a comfy movie.

For those interested, the entire film is on Youtube for free.

Comfy sounds about right.

Although I remember deciding to read the book and then the sequel when I was younger because I was obsessed with the movie and the sequel ended on a downright depressing note.

Irene and Curdie get married and become king and queen of their little city kingdom after her father dies. Their reign is peaceful and kind-hearted, but they have no children. Irene's grandmother had long since disappeared. The newly chosen king is obsessed with gold and orders the mines under the city to be continnously worked, ignoring the city and its people, who grow wicked and uncaring under his example. The king is so greedy that he orders the miners to chip away at the pillars under the ground, which hold the city up, looking for gold inside them. One day, the whole city literally falls into the ground and, as the book describes, 'the cries of men and the shrieks of women went up with the dust, and then there was a great silence.' Everyone died and wilderness eventually reclaimed it.

>movie with songs, a princess, and a happily ever after ending based on depressing as fuck source material

Sounds like a Disney movie.

To be fair, the first book (The Princess and the Goblin) ends more or less like the film and isn't dark. It's just the sequel (The Princess and Curdie) that's depressing.

>cool
It's fricking steaming hot.
Also, doesn't the idea of wallowing in water full of dirt off your skin disgust you, at all? Baths are a waste of water, disgusting and unhygienic.
