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.
One of only three Disney films to score 50 or lower (and, yes, they all came in consecutive years), this 2004 dud performed so poorly at the box office that Disney wouldn't risk making another traditionally animated film for another five years. (Even then, Disney has only made two traditionally animated films since Range.) The film, a comedic western centering on three cows trying to save their floundering farm from foreclosure, grossed only $103 million despite a fairly big-name cast led by Roseanne Barr and Judi Dench. That's less than any other Disney animated film this century, and just one of many financial disasters for Disney in 2004, including its live action films.
