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Disney's 1941 classic about the titular, big-eared, flying elephant has its origins in an unpublished children's story. Despite its short running time (just 64 minutes), Dumbo was the animation studio's first profitable release since Snow White in 1937, and it went on to become the highest-grossing Disney film of the 1940s and the very first Disney animated film to be released on home video (in 1980). Dumbo is also the next Disney animated film to get a live-action remake—presumably without its racist crows—and there is already a trailer for the Tim Burton-directed film, due on March 29, 2019.
