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.
Disney's second release of 2000 and 40th animated feature overall is another rare non-musical in the Disney canon, going for straight, often slapstick, comedy in its story about a young Incan emperor who is transformed into a Llama. The project was conceived six years earlier as a musical called Kingdom of the Sun, and followed a fairly tortuous path to get to its final form. (It did retain one of the original film's songs, a Sting-performed number called "My Funny Friend and Me.") The resulting film actually scored decent reviews from critics, but moviegoers mostly stayed away from Groove when it was in theaters, making it a money loser for the studio until its home video release, when it performed unexpectedly well.
