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.
Talking animals have long been a staple of Disney animated films, but those films typically feature no more than a handful of species. But the 2016 animated comedy Zootopia features anthropomorphic versions of seemingly every mammal on the planet, though the film finds them not in their native habitats but in a modern city environment (with no humans in sight). The well-reviewed film, which has grossed over $1 billion worldwide, is often compared to Disney's live-action/animation hybrid Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, as both share a film noir sensibility, mystery/conspiracy storyline, and somewhat more adult themes than the typical Disney outing. A sequel hasn't officially been announced, but it's hard to imagine there won't be one, given that among Disney films only Frozen has grossed more
