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.
Released in 2008 a few years after Disney's acquisition of Pixar, the 3D, digitally-animated Bolt certainly looks like a Pixar movie, though it bears the Disney brand. It also doesn't quite match the quality of most Pixar films, though it is an improvement over many of the films of Disney's disappointing early 2000s period. The film centers on a dog (voiced by John Travolta) who is the unknowing star of a television show: He believes that the events happening to him there are real—and that he actually has superpowers—and sets out to save his "kidnapped" co-star (voiced by Miley Cyrus). Bolt was a decent box office hit and picked up an Oscar nomination for best animated film.
