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.
Capitalizing on Hollywood's short-lived infatuation with Australia (see, e.g., Young Einstein, Crocodile Dundee), Down Under finds the gang from 1977's The Rescuers on a new mission in the land of kangaroos. It is just the second (of five) sequels in the Disney animated canon to date, and the first since 1944, though plans for a third Rescuers film were scrapped when stars Eva Gabor and John Candy died. (It also didn't help that Down Under greatly underperformed at the box office.) A lesser effort than the original film, Down Under is notable mainly as the first film to be entirely animated using digital techniques.
