Collider has published a list of the ten most underrated fantasy films of the 1990s, a decade the outlet describes as a low point for the genre sandwiched between a quieter 1970s and an experimental 1980s, before fantasy returned to prominence in the 2000s with franchises such as The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. The piece argues that despite this fallow period, several worthwhile fantasy films were released during the decade but were largely overlooked by audiences at the time.

The countdown, presented in reverse order, highlights titles including Dragonheart (1996), starring Dennis Quaid with Sean Connery voicing the dragon Draco; What Dreams May Come (1999), a visually striking afterlife drama starring the late Robin Williams; The Swan Princess (1994), an animated take on Swan Lake; and Truly, Madly, Deeply (1990), a ghostly romance directed by Anthony Minghella and starring Juliet Stevenson and the late Alan Rickman. The full list runs to ten entries, spanning styles from lighthearted adventure to dark comedy.
