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.
The first Disney animated feature to score above 90 since Bambi back in 1942, this stellar 1991 version of the oft-adapted French fairy tale marked the pinnacle of the studio's creative (and commercial) revival in the 1990s, which saw Disney accelerating to a film-a-year pace. A major box office hit, it was also the first animated film to win a Golden Globe for best picture, and the first to be nominated for a best picture Oscar. (The film received six Oscar nominations in total, winning for score and song.) Bill Condon directed a less-impressive live-action remake in 2017 which nevertheless was an even bigger hit than the animated version, grossing over $1.2 billion to set a record for a live-action musical..
