Every Disney Animated Film, Ranked Worst to Best
Updated November 2022 to add Strange World
The king of all animation houses, Walt Disney Animation Studios has been releasing feature films for over 80 years. Many of those films are all-time classics of the genre, though some have failed to impress reviewers. In the gallery above, we rank every one of Disney's animated features by Metascore from worst-reviewed to best.
To keep things manageable, films from subsidiaries/related studios are excluded—these are only Walt Disney Animation productions—though you can find films from Disney's Pixar label in a separate gallery. We are also excluding mostly live-action films that also include some animation (Song of the South, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, etc.) as well as Disney's many direct-to-video sequels produced by its Disneytoon subsidiary.
Note that one official Disney animated film (1977 anthology The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) does not have enough reviews available to calculate a Metascore.
One man's trash may be another man's treasure, but this Treasure ranks among the most disposable of Disney's animated films. Taking the rough story of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island but inexplicably transporting it to outer space (one of three straight sci-fi films for Disney after never making one before), Planet is one of the studio's biggest 21st century flops, barely reaching $109 million in grosses. (That's not anywhere close to enough to be profitable.) Critics didn't hate the film, but nor did they enjoy it, though there is some appreciation for the rather novel stylistic decision to combining cutting-edge 3D CGI backgrounds with traditional-looking hand-drawn characters.
