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.
The final Disney animated film released during Walt Disney's lifetime, Stone is a musical adaptation of T.H. White's 1938 King Arthur origin story of the same name (which later was incorporated into White's much longer, revisionist Arthurian novel The Once and Future King, which also inspired the stage and live-action film musical Camelot). Disney's film takes a more comedic and kid-friendly approach to the story of Arthur's childhood, and it actually performed well at the box office when released in 1963, though it doesn't quite have the memorable soundtrack or enduring fan base (or the glowing reviews) of other early Disney films. Nevertheless, a live-action adaptation has been in development since 2015.
