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 stuck closely to the template established by its previous two hits (The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast) for this family-friendly take on the 1001 Nights folktale—including music by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, joined by Tim Rice—and added starpower in the form of Robin Williams (who voices the Genie). The result is 1992's highest-grossing movie and another two Academy Award trophies for the studio—plus the first Grammy to be won by a Disney animated film (for closing song "A Whole New World"). Guy Ritchie is currently directing a live-action remake with a cast led by Will Smith; it's scheduled for a May 2019 release.
