Someone at MSN compiled a ranked listing of every Disney animated film. While I have not seen all of the movies on this list (or, at least, recently), that doesn’t mean I can’t voice my opinion on those I have.
Note, I am not including “package films” (like “Melody Time” or “Saludos, Amigos”), Direct-2-Video (“Brother Bear 2” or “Belle’s Enchanted Christmas”) or TV pilots/spin-offs (like “Atlantis 2: Milo’s Adventure”)
53. “Chicken Little” (2005) – never saw it, but it looks horrible.
52. “The Fox and the Hound” (1981) – haven’t seen it in ages, but 2nd to last seems a bit harsh
51. “Home on the Range” (2004) – never saw it, but it looks terrible
50. “Dinosaur” (2000) – never saw it… but I did see “Wish” (2023) and it’s far more deserving of this spot.
49. “Bolt” (2008) – 100% DIS-AG-REE, this is easily one of my favorite films. It deserves to be a LOT higher than this!
48. “Oliver & Company” (1988) – it has its problems, but still too low on this list
47. “The Black Cauldron” (1985) – agreed, if anything this is too high. I might switch this with The Fox and the Hound.
46. “Meet the Robinsons” (2007) – never saw it. It looks almost as bad as Chicken Little, but it has its fans.
45. “The Rescuers” (1977)
44. “The Aristocats” (1970)
43. “Robin Hood” (1973)
42. “Pocahontas” (1995)
41. “Raya and the Last Dragon” (2021) – agreed, movie was a disaster. In fact, this might even be too high. I might switch it with Bolt.
40. “Strange World” (2022)
39. “Atlantis: The Lost Empire” (2001)
38. “Treasure Planet” (2002) – agreed, but Atlantis was the better film, so flip with Strange World.
37. “The Rescuers Down Under” (1990)
36. “The Sword in the Stone” (1963) – “a modern mess.” ~ Merlin, so may flip with Robin Hood.
35. “Frozen II”
34. “Brother Bear” (2003)
33. “Tangled” (2010) – Disagree, too low. Flip with one of the Wreck-It-Ralph films.
32. “The Emperor’s New Groove” (2000)
31. “Wreck–It Ralph” (2012)
30. “Alice in Wonderland” (1951)
29. “Big Hero 6” (2014)
28. “Tarzan” (1999) – flip with Tangled
27. “Zootopia” (2016) – flip with Frozen II
26. “Hercules” (1997)
25. “Ralph Breaks the Internet” (2018) – flip with “BH6”
24. “Encanto” (2021)
23. “The Great Mouse Detective” (1986) – disagree, flip with Emperor’s New Groove
22. “Frozen” (2013)
21. “Lilo & Stitch” (2002)
20. “Mulan” (1998)
19. “Cinderella” (1950) – my mom’s favorite movie
18. “Aladdin” (1992)
17. “The Little Mermaid” (1989)
16. “Lady and the Tramp” (1955)
15. “101 Dalmatians” (1961)
14. “The Princess and the Frog” (2009)
13. “Peter Pan” (1953) – disagree, it’s messy and problematic. Probably flip with Hercules.
12. “The Jungle Book” (1967)
11. “Winnie the Pooh” (2011) – never saw it
10. “Moana” (2016)
09. “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1996) – flip with Princess/Frog
08. “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937) – flip with Lilo & Stitch
07. “The Lion King” (1994)
06. “Dumbo” (1941)
05. “Beauty and the Beast” (1991)
04. “Bambi” (1942) – flip with Lion King
03. “Fantasia” (1940) – flip with Cinderella
02. “Sleeping Beauty” (1959) – flip with Encanto
01. “Pinocchio” (1940) – flip with Moana
