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.
Capturing the public's attention like no Disney animated feature since The Lion King, this 2013 computer-animated hit is the highest-grossing Disney animated film to date (though Lion King and other titles have better numbers if you adjust their older totals for inflation)—in fact, it's the highest-grossing animated film by any studio, ever. Loosely based on the Hans Christian Andersen tale "The Snow Queen," Frozen features memorable songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and EGOT-winner Robert Lopez, including the Oscar-winning hit "Let It Go," sung by the apparently unmemorably named Idina Menzel. A sequel, Frozen 2, will be Disney's next animated feature, with a scheduled release date of November 27, 2019.
