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 1953 adaptation of J.M. Barrie's classic play was a big hit for the studio despite (or because of) making changes to the material to make it even more kid-friendly by making it less dark and more comedic. The animated Tinker Bell character from Peter Pan also became an icon for the studio, appearing throughout the years on Disney's various television programs (among other uses). A live-action remake is in the planning stages (with David Lowery attached as director), though it may be headed to Disney's upcoming streaming service rather than to theaters.
