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.
Definitely not to be confused with The Aristocrats, Disney's 20th animated feature (released in 1970) was the studio's first to be produced entirely after Walt Disney's death, though he personally greenlit the project in the mid-'60s. And perhaps it missed his touch. Unlike most of its predecessors, The Aristocrats—a Paris-set musical rom-com about aristocratic cats—features an original story (first developed for a Disney television program), but the film was only modestly successful at the box office, and isn't regarded as highly as many of Disney's previous releases, though it's far from the worst of the studio's 1970s-80s doldrums period. Still, you have to give the film a few bonus points for casting Scatman Crothers as a jazzy cat named Scat Cat.
