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.
While Disney's 1996 feature The Hunchback of Notre Dame went back to France in the 1400s, the studio's follow-up film headed even further back in time, to the world of Greek (and Roman) mythology. The musical comedy Hercules, released in the summer of 1997, was a bit of a box office disappointment, grossing just $250 million compared to the prior film's $325 million (and nowhere close to the Disney hits of the early 1990s). And it certainly isn't an accurate retelling of classical mythology. Still, critics generally praised the film for its humor and for the performance by James Woods as the villainous Hades.
