Insider rounded up some of the best and worst Disney movies of all time based on critic scores on Rotten Tomatoes.
Here are 10 of the best and 10 of the worst animated Disney movies, according to critic scores on Rotten Tomatoes.
Note: These scores were accurate at the time of publication but are subject to change.
"Planes" (2013) didn't impress most critics.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 26%
Although Disney saw success with the "Cars" franchise, critics felt the storyline didn't translate in this spin-off featuring Dane Cook as a "vertically-challenged" plane who wants to become a racer.
What critics said: "'Planes' is for the most part content to imitate rather than innovate, presumably hoping to reap a respectable fraction of the box office numbers of 'Cars' and 'Cars 2,' which together made hundreds of millions of dollars." — Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times
"Brother Bear" (2003) was a flop with most critics.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 37%
The film, featuring songs from Phil Collins, tells the story of a boy named Kenai who is transformed into a bear. He becomes determined to become human again and he embarks on a journey to do so, finding friends and foes along the way.
What critics said: "'Brother Bear' is a very mild animated entry from Disney with a distinctly recycled feel." — Todd McCarthy, Variety
Some critics dubbed "Chicken Little" (2005) a bit too unoriginal.
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 37%
"Chicken Little" was Disney's first fully-CGI film that was not produced by Pixar. But according to critics, the impressive animation did not hide the film's unoriginal plotline.
What critics said: "Tasteful vocal performances, by a talented cast including Zach Braff, Garry Marshall, and Steve Zahn, can't relieve Disney's first in-house all-computer-generated animation movie from its music video trappings and inadequate storyline." — Cole Smithey
Some felt "Cars 2" (2011) was unnecessary.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 39%
Pixar's follow-up to "Cars" (2006), "Cars 2" didn't quite fare as well with critics. The story focuses on Lightning McQueen's road to the World Grand Prix. It also follows his sidekick, Mater, who gets caught up in a bit of trouble along the way.
What critics said: "'Cars 2' demonstrates that not every hit movie merits a sequel." — Claudia Puig, USA Today
"A Goofy Movie" (1995) wasn't a hit with most critics.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 44%
In "A Goofy Movie," Goofy and his teenage son Max take a road trip. The two go camping and Max schemes to go to a concert in Los Angeles. The movie is based on Disney Channel's "Goof Troop," and was given a straight-to-video sequel in 2000.
What critics said: "'A Goofy Movie' is engaging in its mild-mannered way, but the story is too rambling and emotionally diffuse for the title character to come fully alive." — Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"Oliver & Company" (1988) was dubbed "tolerable" by some critics.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 51%
This musical from Disney is a version of "Oliver Twist," as told by New York City animals. It features Joey Lawrence, Billy Joel, Cheech Marin, and Bette Midler, but came across as stiff to some critics and audiences.
What critics said: "The animation is fairly unexciting though serviceable, and the overall mystification of class difference would probably have made Dickens shudder, but kids should find this tolerable enough." — Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
"Home On The Range" (2004) was deemed a major flop by some critics.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 53%
A take on the wild west, "Home On The Range" follows three underdog cows as they try to save their farm from going bankrupt. "Home On The Range" was Disney's last traditionally-animated film until "Winnie The Pooh" and "The Princess Frog," and is considered a major flop.
What critics said: "Within the forgettable musical numbers, and the boring climax, I just couldn't force myself to find one thing positive about this." — Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
But other Disney movies, like "Moana" (2016), have high scores from critics.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 96%
An updated version of many familiar fairy-tale tropes, "Moana" follows the story of a young woman who sets out on a mission to save her people.
It has been praised for its portrayal of the South-Pacific myths and culture it draws upon, and for sending messages of female empowerment to young girls.
What critics said: "The narrative is a fairly predictable hero's journey — Maui even calls her 'The Chosen One' — but the movie is refreshing for its lack of a love interest; instead Moana learns how to chart her own course." — Leah Pickett, Chicago Reader
"The Incredibles" (2004) has received rave reviews.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 97%
"The Incredibles" was a huge hit with audiences and critics alike for its innovative take on the traditional superhero flick and it even won the Academy Award for best animated feature in 2004.
What critics said: "As always, Pixar excels with its animation, but what makes this family film even more appealing is the smartness of the script, which is clearly written, end to end, to appeal to adults as well as children." — Jennifer Frey, Washington Post
"Coco" (2017) was a hit with audiences and critics.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 97%
The 2017 winner of the Academy Award for best animated feature, "Coco" tells the story of a young boy who ventures into the Land Of The Dead to meet his musical idol, Ernesto de la Cruz.
What critics said: "Pixar's Day-of-the-Dead gem pays loving tribute to Mexican culture with animation that brims over with visual pleasures, comic energy, and emotional wallop." — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
"Up" (2009) was lauded by critics.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 98%
"Up" is the 10th animated film from Pixar and it was the first animated and 3D film to ever open the Cannes Film Festival in 2009. The movie follows widower Carl on a once-in-a-lifetime journey alongside his 8-year-old neighbor, Russell.
What critics said: "An exquisite work of cinematic art that also happens to be the funniest, most touching, most exciting and most entertaining movie released so far this year." — Lou Lumenick, New York Post
The star-studded "Inside Out" (2015) won most critics over.
Rotten Tomatoes score:98%
Featuring the voices of Mindy Kaling, Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, and Lewis Black, its star-studded cast isn't the only thing that helps "Inside Out" shine.
The movie shows the emotional journey of a young girl named Riley whose family moved to a different state. Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger live in "Headquarters" in Riley's brain and try to help her adjust.
What critics said: "On the scale of inventiveness, 'Inside Out' will be hard to top this year. As so often with Pixar, you feel that you are visiting a laboratory crossed with a rainbow." — Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Along with critical acclaim, "Zootopia" (2016) won an Academy Award.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 98%
Winner of an Academy Award, "Zootopia" is said to tackle sensitive topics in a way young audiences can understand.
The film was praised for covering race relations and police brutality through its use of sharp wit and parallels to our own world, without ever crossing the line of being preachy.
What critics said: "If 'Zootopia' becomes fortunate enough to fall into 'Frozen'-style heavy rotation for kids of a certain age, its messages of rejecting prejudice and embracing the complicated nature of multiculturalism could do some good for the world." — Andrew Lapin, NPR
Many critics dubbed "Toy Story 2" (1999) a great example of how to create a sequel.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 100%
Widely considered to be one of the only sequels to ever outshine the original, "Toy Story 2" delighted audiences as a follow-up to 1995's "Toy Story."
The plot built upon the first film, but this time Andy is off at summer camp and the toys are left to their own devices. Woody is kidnapped by a collector and the toys must find a way to bring him home.
What critics said: "'Toy Story 2' is a brilliant example of that rarest of Hollywood phenomena a sequel to a major hit film that's as good, if not better, than the original." — Paul Clinton, CNN
