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.
The final Disney film directed by Wolfgang Reitherman (who helmed many of the studio's '60s and '70s features) as well as the last to feature the work of any of the studio's core of original animators, The Rescuers is 1977 adaptation of Margery Sharp's book series about an international organization of mice (voiced by the likes of Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor) tasked with performing rescues around the globe. Not including the 1940s package film Saludos Amigos, it is the first of Disney animated films to receive a theatrically released sequel. Disney would not release another film this good for a dozen years.
