It took me way to long to do this

I've only ever watched maybe 3 of these films prior to watching them now. I've gone back and forth with a few of the rankings and am curious to hear others opinions about movies that they liked/disliked that I may have ranked differently. A few that I was debating about moving them further down were Home on the Range and Wish.

1. Tangled: The characters, the storyline, the villain. Everything about this movie was a masterpiece. I feel like I need to do a rewatch to get the full effect in again. Flynn and Rapunzel were great protagonists and Mother Gothel was a very well written villain. Those scenes where she is talking lovingly to Rapunzel, but it is actually to the hair are brilliant. 10/10!!

2. Emperors New Groove: Right from the get-go, this movie hooked me in with its hilarious antics. Funniest movie hands down.

3. Zootopia: Really interesting concept with the animals, the plot twist with the villain was executed really well. It was something that should be obvious but wasn’t. I’m excited to watch the sequel next year!

4. Mulan: Initially did not want to watch this as it seemed boring but it was easily the best in the era. So many ranges of emotion and the journey of Mulan felt well paced and not rushed at all.

5. Fox and the Hound: Another one I did not want to watch as I thought it was just a stereotypical Disney movie about animals (lady and the tramp cough cough), but MAN this movie really tugged on my heartstrings. When the old lady left Todd in the forest, I felt so bad for him and was hoping for a reunion in the end.

6. Tarzan: Used to enjoy this a lot as a child and was not disappointed. The living in the jungle concept was executed much better than Jungle Book in my opinion.

7. Wreck it Ralph: The entire movie was so different and interesting! I had a hunch that King Candy was the villain but when it was revealed he was Turbo, I was shook! Too bad the sequel did not hit the same.

8. Cinderella: Pretty good for its time. Easily was my favourite from the older movies.

9. Treasure Planet: Like many of the movies in this era, I actually enjoyed them. The relationship with Jimmy and Silver was so back and forth, I actually could not tell if he would redeem himself in the end. I enjoyed the grey area that their relationship fell into and it was not so black and white.

10. Beauty and the Beast: Classic movie. Great characters. Enough said.

11. Atlantis: Thought I would hate this, but it reminded me a bit of Treasure Planet. The journey was interesting and it was another where I wasn’t 100% sure if the characters would come through for Milo, but most of them redeemed themselves.

12. Hercules: Hades really made this movie as a great villain. The characters were good, the concept was different and its another great classic. I didn’t really enjoy the character of Meg though.

13. Great Mouse Detective: Ratigan was a great villain. So evil. I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would.

14. Raya and the Last Dragon: This was a movie that I did not watch until the very end of going through all the animated movies because the trailer looked very meh but it was one that engaged me right from the beginning. The concept of the people coming together from different parts of the land was very layered and I liked that. I wish Fang was given a bit more shit though but what can you do. Initially I found the quirkiness of the dragon to be kind of annoying, but she was a great contrast to Raya’s serious nature.

15. Peter Pan: Good for its time. Everyone’s infatuation with Peter Pan was kind of annoying but that was sort of the backbone of the movie and Neverland, so I think that was the purpose which I thought was done well. Captain Hook was also a good villain. Tinkerbell was annoying af.

16. Princess and the Frog: This movie felt really real, it was a real struggle that people could relate too. The character of Prince Naveen didn’t really click with me and I felt like the villain was weak. But other than that, the movie was interesting and I enjoyed it.

17. Bolt: I thought I would hate this but MAN the idea that Bolt thought he had superpowers but it was just for a TV show was BRILLIANT. I think what would have made this movie a lot better though was if it wasn’t revealed to the audience right away. If we found out towards the end that Bolt didn’t have any powers because it was for a TV show would have been the ultimate plot twist.

18. Encanto: I really liked the music and the entire storyline of Encanto. The characters were interesting and it was very mysterious. I wanted Mirabel to have some kind of gift at the end, but I guess her gift was her normalcy. The only complaint I have with Encanto and why it isnt ranked higher is the Abuella literally treated Mirabel like shit and got off so easy. Like I wish that it had taken her a lot longer to rectify her mistake. Maybe she could have dug herself deeper?

19. Wish: Read a bit online about how people thought it was a flop and pushed this one off till the end too. I enjoyed it though. It was obvious that King Magnifico would be a villain and I low-key was hoping he would pull through in the end. I felt like that part was a bit predictable and one-dimensional but other than that, the idea was unique and the storyline was interesting. Took me way too long to realize that the friends (can’t even remember their names) were supposed to be based off the seven dwarfs. The characters were pretty lame tbh.

20. Big Hero 6: It was so obvious who the villain was and I didn’t get why Professor Callaghan couldn’t just execute his plan for revenge another way? I liked it but I felt like there was a layer missing to the villain. Not sure if I missed something in this movie. It felt like a simple movie, but I did still enjoy it and the idea of Baymax was cool.

21. Lion King: One of the few Disney movies I had properly watched before watching all of these now. It’s always going to be a classic one but I think I have just seen it so many times that it just feels meh to me now. Still on the high-middle of the list though.

22. Pinocchio: Really well done for the 40s. Some parts of it really creeped me out like that island where boys turned into donkeys. Super disturbing! There were lots of random storylines in this movie though that I felt weren’t resolved properly.

23. Hunchback of Notre Dame: So dark. Like really dark. This movie was really set apart from other Disney movies I feel like because of this. Frollo was the most evil villain from all the movies. I feel like I need to do a rewatch of it though to properly analyze it again.

24. Frozen: This movie had some bangers music wise. It was a good movie and I don’t have anything more to say about it really. An above average Disney movie.

25. Rescuers: I really liked this movie despite it being about mice! The villain was just an evil lady and the environment of it gave me the creeps as well. The way it was drawn gave such dark vibes.

26. Aladdin: Honestly overrated. It was good but not epic as other people think. The characters were good but there was just something missing that I can’t quite put my finger on.

27. Little Mermaid: Another one that I didn’t understand the hype about. Undersea concept was cool but it was just Ariel being lovesick the whole movie. Felt like a drag to watch it to be honest. If it didn’t take place underwater, I probably would have ranked it much lower.

28. Ralph Breaks the Internet: The concept had so much potential and I was so excited to watch this after the original but man what a letdown. I felt like the story was all over the place and did we really need that much time of Vanelope racing around in some GTA style game? They had so much potential with what they could have done on the internet, I feel like it was wasted.

29. Robinhood: Bland but it was interesting at times. It had like a nostalgic tone to it. Hence why I ranked it here.

30. Chicken Little: Okay. So I went into this movie expecting to HATE it with all the reviews I saw online. In the first half, I was quite impressed! I could not understand how people did not like this movie. It was about a son that just wanted to impress his father.. but then all that crap about the aliens was thrown in? It honestly lost me in the middle to end bit. The end was alright though with the dad helping out his son.

31. Meet the Robinsons: Kind of hard to wrap my head around at first and like Chicken Little, it lost me in the middle bit there. But while I could see that Lewis was obviously the dad of Wilbur in the future, I did not see that twist coming with Goob! It absolutely blew my mind away and why I ranked it higher than I probably would have otherwise.

32. Sleeping Beauty: Typical old school Disney movie, kind of boring. Ranked it here because its a classic.

33. Winnie the Pooh: I watched the first one first and was dreading this. But it was pretty good tbh. The Bacson part was hilarious.

34. 101 Dalmatians: I always heard about Cruela being this huge villain and don’t get me wrong, skinning puppies for your clothing is pretty sick but I was waiting for her to do something the whole movie. It felt really slow paced and predictable. Nothing really jumped out to me.

35. Brother Bear: The beginning part got me hooked. The death of the older brother and the way that Kenai was turned into a bear was so creative… then they had to bring that little bear into it and it got dreadful. Like I was so over the scenes with Koda in them and then he chose to be a bear in the end? What kind of dumb ending was that. I think it would have been better if both of the remaining brothers were turned into bears and learned to live amongst other bears and then turned back. Another movie that had some wasted potential tbh.

36. Oliver and Company: Entertaining movie with an interesting twist on Oliver Twist (lol). Pretty average, nothing really stands out.

37. Rescuers Down Under: Compared to the original it was lame. I can’t even recall anything significant from this movie. Boy was kidnapped but it didn’t have the same effect as the original.

38. Pocahontas: I did not like this movie. It wasn’t even the colonization aspect of it alone, it just felt very bland compared to others in its era.

39. Lilo and Stitch: I got into this movie towards the second half. Lilo and Stitch both got on my nerves throughout the movie and I really did not like any of the characters much. It wasn’t horrible, but was pretty mediocre and cringe at times.

40. Frozen 2: What the hell was even happening in this movie? I had to read on reddit after I watched it to even understand what was happening. If they were going to build up the parents that much, they should have had them shipwrecked on that island ALIVE as well.

41. Black Cauldron: Hard to wrap my head around this one too. Characters were lame, I can’t even remember any of their names lol. Apparently it’s one of the darkest Disney films and I kind of got that vibe from the art style. Nothing too memorable, some parts were interesting. I enjoyed the witches.

42. Moana: So boring. Did not understand the hype at all. Another one where I felt like they had an okay concept but the way it was executed wasn’t great. Probably just got excited that they had Dwayne Johnson as a voice actor and based the storyline around his character.

43. Aristocats: Had a similar nostalgia feel to it that Robin Hood did but the movie itself could have been better. First off, who leaves their entire fortune to their cats? Secondly, why couldn’t the butler just wait a few years for the cats to die (its not like his master was dead - so wouldn’t it make more sense for him to get rid of her first?) I felt like the plot was not thought out and they just threw something together with cats. Story was alright, the characters were whatever. Very below average for me.

44. Dumbo: Pretty basic storyline. Was good for its time I guess but just a bit of a boring watch.

45. Dinosaur: The storyline was okay. The journey to the grass land or whatever it was an okay enough plot but my problem is with the horrendous CGI. I feel like if this was a regular animated movie then I would have ranked it higher. I couldn’t even tell the difference between some of the dinosaurs because they all looked the same.

46. Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad: I did not mind the Ichabod part, it was actually quite interesting and the ending really creeped me out. Mr. Toad’s part was a challenge to get through, it just felt like it was dragging on.

47. Fantasia: I get that there was nothing else like this in its time but holy hell it was brutal to watch. Two hours of it too. Please enlighten me on why people enjoy this.

48. The Jungle Book: I really wanted to enjoy this given how much I enjoyed Tarzan but nope. I liked the Bare Necessities song, but I felt like it was just Mowgli bouncing around from groups of animals with Shere Khan being hyped up the whole movie and making an appearance for what felt like a whole 5 seconds. And then the way it ended? After all that, Mowgli just leaves after some girl. I also had a good laugh at some of the names (Shere Khan and Hathi), being a Indian person LOL.

49. Lady and the Tramp: Stereotypical Disney Movie. Just an overall bore. Lame characters, lame storyline. I feel like its just hyped up for that Spaghetti kiss scene.

50. Snow White: Okay so what happened? Literally felt like the entirety of the movie was singing about hand washing and then Snow White is poisoned and jets off with a guy who kissed her while she was sleeping. I know this was the first Disney movie so people have love for it, but if we look beyond that, I see nothing that makes it worthwhile. Literally only put it here because it’s the first movie and there are surprisingly worse ones than this.

51. Three Caballeros: Just awful. The antics of Donald Duck were what somewhat redeemed this abomination.

52. Melody Time: Boring. The only one that captured my attention was the cowboy skit towards the end and the reason its ranked higher than some of the movies below.

53. Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: Boring. Boring. Boring. I did not need to watch Winnie the Pooh talk about honey for this long. The sequel was muuuch better.

54. Home on the Range: I thought I would give this one a chance because I always like things that most other people don’t but yeah it was horrendous. The storyline was so difficult to follow. How many things needed to happen in this movie? The characters were insufferable and yeah there was absolutely nothing good about this movie. The only reason it isn’t ranked lower is because those ones were even worse than this.

55. Bambi: Another one that I really wanted to like but no. I knew that Bambi’s mom died so I waited for that scene but it was over before it even happened. I thought it being a movie from the 1940’s, it would at least show Bambi mourning over the mother’s body but no. It was really just a movie about watching Bambi dance around discovering the forest.

56. Fantasia: 2000: Same explanation as above.

57. Alice in Wonderland: This was my first pick and what launched me on this Disney movie watching marathon but it was a huge disappointment. Just random things happening with no proper storyline. I guess it makes sense since it was supposed to just be a dream but I found it just so much wasted potential. Wonderland itself was such a cool concept that they could have really done something better with it.

58. Strange World: Unmemorable characters, dumb storyline. What was this movie? I found it so hard to follow along what was happening and I had to pause many times and go back to understand what was happening. The characters were so boring and lacked personality. This was a flop for sure.

59. Fun and Fancy Free: Unmemorable, Boring.

60. Saludos Amigos: Same as above but with more racism.

61. Sword in the Stone: To be the absolute worst movie is just next level. The fact that it’s not one of those horrendous war time era ones is even worse but Sword in the Stone was such garbage from the minute it started. The characters were SO lame and the way they were drawn felt lazy to me, there was just something about this whole movie that was so unappealing. Not just the storyline even, the characters, the animation, all of it.
