Disney/Pixar Movies, Ranked

There has been a Disney/Pixar bracket floating around Twitter that is just ridiculous. Someone arbitrarily seeded Disney movies to face off with one another until reaching the ultimate conclusion of what Disney movie is best. That is a waste of time. Here they are ranked, based on movies I have seen:

1. Toy Story- Tell me you didn't mark out when you saw the graphics for this in 1995. Also soundtrack is solid Randy Newman. Tom Hanks in a starring role. Tugs at the heart strings too.
2. Lion King- If you were a 90's kid and didn't know the words to every song, talk about lame. Classic coming of age tale.
3. Inside Out- Lack of a soundtrack only reason this isn't #1. Brilliant set-up, all-star cast, and teaches kids to name emotions. A++++
4. Moana- My daughter wants to watch this everyday and listen to the soundtrack on repeat. I oblige and don't mind because it is a legitimately great story with great music. Also The Rock.
5. Up- If you don't cry during the opening montage you are a monster
6. Aladdin- Lit soundtrack, Robin Williams, and a legitimately solid Sega Genesis game
7. Toy Story 2- Would've put it number 2 but didn't want to seem weird
8. The Great Mouse Detective- Such an underrated film
9. The Rescuers Down Under- Used to watch this repeatedly but honestly don't remember anything about it other than something about mice flying around, presumably in Australia
10. Robin Hood- Tried to watch the other day on Netflix but got kind of bored. Good soundtrack though.
11. Jungle Book- Good cartoon, but live action version was better
12. Beauty and the Beast- Good cartoon, vile live action version
13. 101 Dalmations- Another good movie with a trash live action version
14. Pocahontas- Not really historically accurate but the song where the Indians and White men are calling each other savages for different reasons really  makes you stop and think
15. Mulan- Never saw it but some good songs on the Disney Hits spotify playlist. Also made Mike Pence uncomfortable so +1 there
16. Snow White- Kind of overrated honestly
17. Pinnochio- Needs an updated Pixar version
18. Dumbo- Yawn
19. Bambi- Yawn
20. Frozen- Overrated
21. Lady and the Tramp- Don't remember the plot at all
22. Hercules- Garbage


100. Old B roll outtake footage of Steamboat Willie
101. Song of the South- Racist AF


1,230: Fantasia 2000- Pure trash.

1,450: Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar- Straight to VHS (and hell)
