Disney used to be the platinum standard of animation (and I mean that includes the actual animation process, music, plot, characters, everything). They have lost their way over the last 25 years in my opinion.
Back in the day, Disney really cranked out some fine pieces of film: Summer Magic; The Misadventures of Merlin Jones; Swiss Family Robinson; The Parent Trap; Follow Me, Boys; the "Flubber" movies; Candleshoe. Some of these titles might not be familiar to some of us, but I grew up watching them, and they each are wonderful and a hundred times better than Disney's trainwrecks nowadays.
The Small One is this little gem that is one of its most highly underrated animated films they ever did. Every time I hear the main song, I start to cry, and I cannot explain why. If you've ever loved something smaller than yourself...a young sibling, a puppy, a cat, an elderly neighbor, children, you'll understand what I mean then. This movie makes you nostalgic for anything you ever loved, and what it means to have to say goodbye to it. Treat yourself and spend 26 minutes to watch this jewel. (side note, I just found one of the original animation cels from this movie on ebay and it's my mom's Christmas present this year! I'm so excited!)
