Even though Zootropolis may have gotten buried in the Frozen frenzy, it still deserves to be regarded as one of the better films in Disney’s recent canon. Animation frequently offers upbeat depictions of a society where people of various colors and faiths can coexist, but Zootropolis stands out from the crowd.
The movie can jump right into the complicated material by showing the simmering conflicts between mammalian predators and prey, erstwhile enemies now coexisting.

Disney’s most daring experiment to date was released in 1940. Realizing his dream of fusing classical music with animated images. What initially started out as a way to advance Mickey Mouse’s career grew into a full-fledged film that is still unmatched in animation history.
47. Lilo & Sitch
- Directors: Chris Sanders, Dean DeBlois
- Writers: Chris Sanders
- Cast: Chris Sanders, Daveigh Chase
- IMDB: 7.7/10
- Rotten Tomato meter: 95%
The early 2000s were undoubtedly a mixed bag for Disney’s animation division. Lilo & Stitch being grouped in with what some have referred to as “The Second Dark Age” doesn’t seem appropriate.
It’s delightful and one of the more realistic Disney films available. At its core, the film offers a moving analysis of sibling relationships and parental loss if you can look past the spaceships, blasters, and slobbering blue alien-pup.
Lilo & Stich serves as a gentle reminder that all families, whatever of appearance, are valuable and capable of success. It is one of the best disney movies of all time.
48. The Nightmare Before Christmas
- Directors: Henry Selick
- Writers: Tim Burton
- Cast: Tim Burton, Ken Page
- IMDB: 7.9/10
- Rotten Tomato meter: 95%
It is the movie that has come to represent the teenage goth look. But there is far more to The Nightmare Before Christmas than an infinite supply of Hot Topic goods. It combines ghoulish sensibilities and childish awe with ease and was created by Tim Burton and adapted to the big screen by Henry Selick.
It is all the more endearing thanks to the stop-motion cinematography, which is like an old story coming to life slowly. The songs, which Danny Elfman wrote, are catchy but strange.
49. Moana
- Directors: Ron Clements, John Musker
- Writers: Ron Clements, John Musker

- IMDB: 7.6/10
- Rotten Tomato meter: 95%
A young woman from a Polynesian village named Moana embarks on an ocean voyage to deliver a mythical artefact to a goddess. The story encourages viewers to embrace their roots, relatives, and towns by teaming up with some other god, and the production staff went to great lengths to ensure that their depiction of Polynesian culture was realistic.
The outcome is a breathtaking journey that follows a noble and unselfish girl. This heartwarming story is one of the current disney animated classics.
50. Sleeping Beauty
- Directors: Wolfgang Reitherman, Clyde Geronimi
- Writers: Erdman Penner
- Cast: Mary Costa, Eleanor Audley
- IMDB: 7.2/10
- Rotten Tomato meter: 89%
This animated film eclipsed all other endeavors at the time in terms of the overall scope.
A newborn princess Aurora is cursed by a witch to pass away on her 16th birthday. However, a fairy changes the spell, allowing the princess to live and enter a profound sleep that can be disturbed by the kiss of true love. A hue that had never before been seen on film was created by lead artist Eyvind Earle, who had previously worked on Peter Pan.
Sleeping Beauty remains one of the pillars of the Disney library and clearly makes this into our list of top Disney films thanks to a stirring score based on the Tchaikovsky ballet and an iconic villain in the character of Maleficent. And that is why young viewers love this movie.

- IMDB Ratings: 7.6/10
- Rotten Tomato Meter: 96%
No prior knowledge of history is necessary to understand why Pinocchio, the story of the little wooden boy who longs to become real, is the pinnacle of Disney. Pinocchio was named the best-animated movie of all time by our film critics. Nearly every second is memorable and breathtaking, from the puppet’s constantly expanding nose to the whale-themed climax, the Blue Fairy towards Jiminy Cricket humming “when you want upon a star.”

The most jaded viewer will cry while watching Up’s famous establishing montage, which is just the film’s beginning. It’s a lesson in emotional storytelling at its best.

- IMDB Ratings: 7.3/10
- Rotten Tomato Meter: 91%
Bambi is a charming and touching tale of a super-cute deer who grows up in the forest with the aid of his family and friends. Yes, it still hurts to think about how Bambi’s mother died. However, the scenes in which Thumper, Flower, and Bambi get all twitterpated serve to stabilise the mood.
56. Inside Out
- Director: Pete Docter
- Writer: Kelsey Mann
- Cast: Bing Bong, Riley, Joy, Disgust, Anger, Sadness, Jangles.
- IMDB Ratings: 8.1/10
- Rotten Tomato Meter: 98%
Inside Out, a studio known for playing with people’s emotions, creates a real movie about personified emotions. Pixar avoids what might experience have been a shameless attempt to tug at the heartstrings by penetrating the cerebral cortex of a tweenage girl. Instead, it creates a hilarious and lovely testament to the qualities that make us human. But don’t worry; while you cry everywhere, many of those tears will also be from giggles.
57. The Lady And The Tramp

- IMDB Ratings: 7.1/10
- Rotten Tomato Meter: 93%
The charming Amy Adams stars as an aristocratic songstress thrust into the real world in an enjoyable, meta twist based on the Disney Princess formula. As Princess Giselle discovers that New York doesn’t seem to be the kind of kingdom she’s used to, the fish-out-of-water comedy is gold. Idina Menzel, who will play Elsa in the future, and Julie Andrews, who played Mary Poppins, and serves as the narrator, receive bonus points.
59. Tangled

- Cast: Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy.
- IMDB Ratings: 7.7/10
- Rotten Tomato Meter: 89%
Our princess is stuck in an identical unfortunate circumstance in this cool retelling of Rapunzel: Extra-long hair reminiscent of a shampoo commercial, trapped in a tower with no way out. She almost gave up on leaving the tower when a handsome prince arrived. Disney is in a new era, but its slapstick humor and infectious songs assist in connecting the gap between traditional fairytales and contemporary sensibilities.
60. Pirates Of The Caribbean The Curse Of The Black Pearl
- Director: Gore Verbinski
- Writer: Ted Elliott
- Cast: Johnny Depp, Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, Jonathan Pryce.
- IMDB Ratings: 8.1/10
- Rotten Tomato Meter: 80%
The Jack Sparrow gag has grown stale, but Disney’s first quirky rendition of its well-liked theme-park ride is still a riot. Irrespective of how many sequels Disney produced, this film’s combination of ghosts, pirates, swashbucklers, and wavelength monkeys will never be topped. The first instalment of Pirates is still king of Disneyland on the big screen, despite Jungle Cruise using the same model.
