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.
This 1950 classic marked a return to full-length, bigger-budget animated features for Disney after World War II meant that Disney had neither the finances nor the manpower to make a proper full-length animated feature for much of the 1940s following the 1942 release of Bambi. While it didn't score in the 90s like the studio's first five films, it was a major hit at the time of its release and continues to rank among Disney's handful of all-time greats. A 2015 live-action remake directed by Kenneth Branagh wasn't terrible, but it lacked the animated film's charm.
