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 60th animated feature is a South American musical fantasy featuring original songs by Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda (who also shares a story credit). Released in late 2021, Encanto centers on a Colombian woman (voiced by Brooklyn Nine Nine's Stephanie Beatriz) who is the only member of her family not to have magical powers. But it falls on her to save the day when her family's magic is threatened. Critics found the film somewhat short of magical—thanks to some problems with the screenplay—but still lauded the film's warmth, joyfulness, and music.
