Way back in late September Collider Videos (one of the sites/youtube channels from which I get the vast majority of my movie news) posted this controversial list: a ranking of all 56 animated Disney films.
Obviously I do not completely agree so I’m here to add my own two cents.
Qualifiers:
I have not seen all 56 films, so this definitive ranking is restricted to the films I have indeed seen.
You may disagree. Write your own list, tell me your thoughts. Please do not comment that I have shit on your childhood (or that you want me to masturbate using my own tears as lubricant, which was a comment I saw on a youtube video ranking Disney songs. Eight years ago. It is a comment that has stuck with me).
At the end of each item I’m including Collider’s ranking.
44) The Sword in the Stone (1963) (34)
The worst.
43) Home on the Range (2004) (54)
I saw this once in the theater when I was in fourth grade. There was a grumpy goat.
42) Oliver and Company (1988) (51)
Bastard child of Charles Dickens.
41) Wreck-It-Ralph (2012) (29)
There is nothing about this film that doesn’t annoy me. Except Qbert (Cutebert).
40) The Black Cauldron (1985) (50)
This is also pretty shit but I once got that as a Disney villain I am most like the Goblin King, so I feel some connection.
39) Bolt (1988) (52)
I saw this once. I liked the cat. There was also a hamster.
38) The Great Mouse Detective (1986) (23)
37) The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) (33)
Good music, subpar everything else.
36) Dinosaur (2000) (53)
As a dinosaur kid, this was my jam. That doesn’t mean it was good.
35) Robin Hood (1973) (41)
34) The Aristocats (1970) (42)
33) The Fox and the Hound (1981) (55)
32) The Jungle Book (1967) (14)
31) Tangled (2010) (31)
30) The Rescuers (1977) (43)
Is it weird that I am super into Bianca? Girl crush.
29) Pinocchio (1940) (1)
28) Frozen (2013) (22)
27) Alice in Wonderland (1951) (28)
26) Big Hero 6 (2014) (27)
Actually pretty cute.
25) Cinderella (1950) (21)
24) Atlantis (2001) (30)
I’m a big fan of Atlantis’ odd family set up. Plus Milo is a cute nerd hero. We need more.
23) Beauty and the Beast (1991) (5)
22) Snow White and the Seven Dwarves (1937) (10)
HEIGH HO!
21) Sleeping Beauty (1959) (2)
Prince Philip is the best prince.
20) Dumbo (1941) (6)
I cry every time.
19) Lilo & Stitch (2002) (20)
18) 101 Dalmations (1961) (16)
17) The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) (11)
So disturbing. I like it.
16) Zootopia (2016) (25)
15) The Princess and the Frog (2009) (15)
14) Fantasia (3)
13) Pocahontas (1995) (40)
12) Moana (2016) (9)
11) The Emperor’s New Groove (2000) (35)
So quotable.
10) Tarzan (1999) (26)
19) The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977) (39)
8) Bambi (1942) (4)
7) The Little Mermaid (1989) (18)
6) Hercules (1997) (24)
5) The Lion King (1994) (7)
4) Peter Pan (1953) (8)
3) Mulan (1998) (12)
2) Lady and the Tramp (1955) (17)
1) Aladdin (1992) (19)
I don’t even know if I agree with this list. That was so hard.
I am not a prize to be won.
