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.
What is the worst Disney animated film ever released? This 2005 film is one of two possible answers. Released in 3D, Chicken Little is Disney's first fully computer-animated release (not including its Pixar films) and stars Zach Braff as the titular character in a comedic adventure based on the fable on the same name (though obviously greatly expanded, to the point where it somehow becomes an alien invasion story). Disney's third straight critical dud was actually the highest-grossing film of the trio despite reviews that pegged the film as "lame" and lacking the usual Disney character.
