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.
Released for the first of many times in 1942, Disney's fifth animated feature is also the studio's fifth straight release to receive a Metascore in the 90s. (There would not be another one until 1991.) A beloved if traumatizing classic that finds the titular young deer attempting to overcome the death of his mother after she is shot and killed by a hunter, Bambi is based on a 1923 novel by Austrian author Felix Salten. Like many of Disney's early films, Bambi was a money loser upon its original release but eventually became (hugely) profitable through subsequent re-releases.
