| Release Date | November 17, 1989 |
| Director | John Musker, Ron Clements |
A Tier
A TierThe A tier of our Disney animated movies tier list includes the movies that are without any question, too good. However, these movies cannot compete with those mentioned in the S tier. To find out which movies have made it to the A tier, don’t stop reading.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarf
Starting with snow white and the seven dwarfs. Some people might not like this movie much. But for 1937, this was beyond incredible and we still think it is incredible today. Every time you watch this movie, you will find it way better than you thought it is. And because of that, Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs will go straight to the A-tier.
| Release Date | December 21, 1937 |
| Director | David Hand, Perce Pearce, Wilfred Jackson, William Cottrell, Larry Morey, Ben Sharpsteen |
Frozen
The A tier would be incomplete without mentioning one of the best movies Disney has ever made, Frozen. This movie is super good and that is why we have mentioned it in the A tier.
| Release Date | November 27, 2013 |
| Director | Jennifer Lee, Chris Buck |
Beauty and the Beast

| Release Date | November 22, 1991 |
| Director | Bill Condon |
Aladdin

| Director |
Guy Ritchie
|

| Release Date | March 4, 2016 |
| Director | Rich Moore, Byron Howard |
The Princess and the Frog
The Princess and the Frog is the one Disney movie we can’t understand why it got slammed in the box office. This is an incredible movie that is going straight into the A-tier.
| Release Date | December 11, 2009 |
| Director | John Musker, Ron Clements |
The Princess and the FrogTarzan

Mulan
Mulan is that Disney movie you will enjoy a lot. This movie is brilliant and deserves to be in the A-tier for sure.
| Release Date | June 19, 1998 |
| Director | Niki Caro |
MulanPinocchio
Pinocchio is another one of those that “ I forget how much I loved it until I watch it again”. However, if we compare it with Snow White, it’s not up to the mark. But that does not mean it won’t go on to the A-tier. It is just that it is not as good as Snow White.
| Release Date | February 7, 1940 |
| Director | Guillermo del Toro, Mark Gustafson |
Moana
This movie needs to be in the A tier. Moana is not just an ordinary movie, it is one of the most popular and best-animated movies of all time. The plot, music, and visual effects, everything is on point.
| Release Date | November 23, 2016 |
| Director | Ron Clements, John Musker |
Bambi
The Disney movie tier list would be incomplete without mentioning Bambi in it. Talking about Bambi, it is brilliant. Every frame could just be its painting. It is just “oh it’s incredible” and the music, it’s just so heavily Beethoven inspired, it’s superb. However, as far as the storytelling is concerned, it loses some points for that, but because this movie is still appreciable, thus it is going to the A-tier.
| Release Date | August 13, 1942 |
| Director | Clyde Geronimi, David Hand, Samuel Armstrong |
B Tier
B TierAfter the S and A tiers, we have the B tier. It includes movies that are comparatively better than those mentioned in the C and D tiers, but not as good as those mentioned in the S and A tiers. The movies on this list are:
Cinderella

Alice in Wonderland is also a movie deserving to be in the B-tier.

101 Dalmatians
101 Dalmatians is one of the best Disney movies ever made. We like its style. It does some stuff that feels different and unique. However, it mixes it up a little bit, especially with its visual style. And therefore, it will go in the B-tier.
| Release Date | January 25, 1961 |
| Director | Stephen Herek |
Robin Hood
Robin Hood is one of those movies that you will for sure enjoy. This is probably one of the coolest movies of this era. It’s going in the B-tier.

| Release Date | March 11, 1977 |
| Director | Wolfgang Reitherman, John Lounsbery |
The Fox and the Hound
The Fox and the Hound is a good movie. If you love those bittersweet stories, you will like this movie a lot. It is a movie that deserves a spot on the B-tier.
| Release Date | July 10, 1981 |
| Director | Ted Berman, Richard Rich, Art Stevens |

| Release Date | November 18, 1988 |

The Rescuers Down Under
The Rescuers Down Under is a way better movie than its previous original version. It is a too good and fun movie. It’s going in the B-tier for sure.
| Release Date | November 16, 1990 |
| Director | Mike Gabriel, Hendel Butoy |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a nice movie. The music is good, the animation is cool. Like visually and musically, this is a marble. Storytelling-wise, it lags. It feels like something is missing. It is a bit confusing & therefore, it will go in the B-tier
| Release Date | June 21, 1996 |
| Director | Kirk Wise, Gary Trousdale, Bradley Raymond |
Hercules
Hercules is an interesting movie. It’s going straight in the B-tier. This movie is fun, goofy, and silly, and you will love it for that.

| Director | Tad Stones, Ron Clements, John Musker |
Dinosaur
Dinosaur is another popular Disney movie. Storytelling wise it’s not too good, just okay. However, because of the visual style, this movie seems fun and gets a spot in the B-tier.
| Release Date | May 19, 2000 |
| Director | Eric Leighton |
The Emperor’s New Groove
The Emperor’s New Groove is one that more people need to be talking about. It is great and fun and so we have added it to the B-tier.
| Release Date | December 15, 2000 |
| Director | Mark Dindal |
Lilo and Stitch
Lilo and Stitch is a classic Disney movie going straight to the B-tier. This movie is too good from the visual style to the storytelling. You will enjoy it a lot.
| Release Date | June 21, 2002 |
| Director | Chris Sanders, Dean DeBlois |
Treasure Planet
Treasure Planet has a great cult following for what it is worth. This is a cool movie. The relationship between Jim and Silver is what helps this movie make it to the B-tier.
| Release Date | November 27, 2002 |
| Director | John Musker, Ron Clements |
Brother Bear
Brother Bear is going in the B-tier and that is mainly because of its epic storytelling and good cinematography.
| Release Date | November 1, 2003 |

Bolt is a fun, decent, family film going straight into the B-tier.
| Release Date | November 21, 2008 |

| Release Date | November 21, 2018 |
| Director | Rich Moore, Phil Johnston |
Frozen 2
The Frozen 2 was not as good as the original Frozen and thus, we have added it to the B tier. There were a few loopholes because of which this movie is not included in the S or A tier.
| Release Date | November 22, 2019 |
| Director | Jennifer Lee, Chris Buck |
Big Hero 6
The last movie on the B-tier list is Big Hero 6. This movie is jaw-dropping. Everything is so good about this movie from the beginning to the very end.
| Release Date | November 7, 2014 |
| Director | Chris Williams, Don Hall |
C Tier
C TierThe C tier includes movies that are just average. Strictly speaking, these movies are fair. They are neither great nor worst, just good. To find out which movies have been included under this category, continue reading.
The Three Caballeros
The Three Caballeros cannot be skipped from the Disney movie tier list. The Three Cabelleros is another movie, quite similar to the Saludos Amigos. It is a much better movie.
Especially the first half which is so much fun. However, the last third is quite boring and the ending is pretty bad. And all this makes it an average kind of movie. So it will go into the C-tier.
| Release Date | December 21, 1944 |
| Director | Clyde Geronimi, Norm Ferguson, Jack Kinney, Bill Roberts, Harold Young |
Fun and Fancy-Free
Fun and Fancy-Free is a little bit different sort of a movie compared to the rest in the fact that it’s only got two shots and it is Mickey in the Beanstalk and Bungo. Both were cute and fun to watch. It has a more solid story and good music, however still pretty basic. So, this will go to the C-tier.
| Release Date | September 27, 1947 |
| Director | Jack Kinney, Hamilton Luske, Bill Roberts, William Morgan |
PeterPan
PeterPan is just an average movie. Nothing too much interesting about it. The plot is just fine and so are all the characters. It’s neither too good nor too bad. Just an average movie, going to the C-tier. It is just like watching a kid having playtime.
| Release Date | February 5, 1953 |
| Director | Hamilton Luske, Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson |
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr.Toad
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr.Toad. The story is amazing and overall, the movie is not that bad. It’s an average movie though and thus, it will go in the C-tier.
| Release Date | October 5, 1949 |
| Director | Clyde Geronimi, Jack Kinney, James Algar |
Sleeping Beauty
Sleeping Beauty is a decent movie but quite average. It’s not one of those incredible movies that we have mentioned in the S, A, and B tiers. Because this movie is not too good, it will go in the C-tier.
| Release Date | January 29, 1959 |
| Director | Wolfgang Reitherman, Clyde Geronimi, Eric Larson, Les Clark |
Meet the Robinsons
Meet the Robinsons is an average Disney movie. Not too good, not too bad. Just a fair film with an average story and plot.
| Release Date | March 30, 2007 |
| Director | Stephen Anderson |
The Aristocats
The Aristocats is a cute Disney movie. It is a fun movie but doesn’t do a whole lot for us. The storyline is good and so is the plot but then again, not something extraordinary. Therefore, it is going in the C-tier.
| Release Date | December 24, 1970 |
| Director | Wolfgang Reitherman |
Pocahontas
Pocahontas is not one of those epic and wonderful Disney movies that you should watch for sure no matter what. Because this movie is just average, it is going in the C-tier.
| Release Date | June 23, 1995 |
| Director | Eric Goldberg, Mike Gabriel |
The Great Mouse Detective
The Great Mouse Detective is an average Disney Movie. It is not an interesting movie but some scenes are pretty cool. You will enjoy it for sure but because it is not up to the mark, it has been in the C-tier.
| Release Date | July 2, 1986 |
| Director | Ron Clements, John Musker, Burny Mattinson, David Michener |
D Tier
D TierThe D tier includes those movies that are complete trash. These movies were not up to the mark and were great disappointments. The movies on this list are:
Saludos Amigos
Saludos Amigos is an interesting movie because basically, this movie was actually like Government Sanctioned. The Govt asked Walt Disney to make them like create good ties between North America and South America for WW2. That might sound awesome in theory but the movie tries to be a documentary and a cartoon put together.
But the documentary stuff doesn’t go far enough. It just says “hey, here is every way how Americans and South Americans are similar”. All in all, the cartoons related to it are just about that so it’s not a great movie and therefore it is on the D-tier.
| Release Date | August 24, 1942 |
| Director | Norm Ferguson, Jack Kinney, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, Bill Roberts |
Make Mine Music
Make Mine Music is a fun movie that you will enjoy. The scene where the whale who wanted to sing at the Met is too good. However, the rest of the movie is not up to the mark, the plot and the storytelling, both are pretty bad and basic. Because of that, it goes into the D-tier.
| Release Date | April 20, 1946 |
| Director | Jack Kinney, Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Robert Cormack, Joshua Meador |
Melody Time
Melody Time is one of those Disney movies that require plenty of changes. Everything is just so basic about the movie from the characters to the plot to the music and everything in between. It is going to the D-tier.
| Release Date | May 27, 1948 |
| Director | Wilfred Jackson, Clyde Geronimi, Jack Kinney, Hamilton Luske |
The Rescuers
The Rescuers is another below-average Disney Movie. It is not good enough to compete with other Disney Classics. So it is going in the D-tier for sure.
| Release Date | June 22, 1977 |
| Director | Art Stevens, John Lounsbery, Wolfgang Reitherman, Hendel Butoy, Mike Gabriel |
The Black Cauldron
The Black Cauldron has amassed a bit of a cult following and a lot of people say it doesn’t deserve to be the black sheep of Disney. The story itself was a good one but the execution was pretty bad. And because of this reason, it’s going in the D-tier.
| Release Date | July 26, 1985 |
| Director | Ted Berman, Richard Rich |
Atlantis: The Lost Empire
Atlantis is a movie with a big cult following but it’s not that great. It feels like this is a live-action film trying to be animated and that to us is an issue. We feel like the makers were trying to inject too much slapstick goofy cartoon comedy into this when the story didn’t lend itself to that. It would have done better with more sarcastic humor which would have lent itself more to a live-action thing. Thus, because of all these reasons, it is going in the D-tier.
| Release Date | June 15, 2001 |
| Director | Kirk Wise, Gary Trousdale |
Boo
Speaking of Boo, it is also a below-average Disney movie with loads of improvements required. The music is not good and storytelling-wise, it is really bad. It’s going in the D-tier.
| Release Date | July 3, 2020 |
| Director | Anthony C. Ferrante |
Fantasia (2000)
Fantasia 2000 is interesting. This is an incredible movie and you will love some of the scenes for sure. But overall, it’s not the Best or even the average compared to others movies on this list, so it will go in the D-tier.
| Release Date | January 1, 2000 |
| Director | James Algar, Eric Goldberg, Hendel Butoy, Gaëtan Brizzi, Don Hahn, Paul Brizzi, Francis Glebas, Pixote Hunt |
Chicken Little
Chicken Little is by far the worst film that Disney Feature Animation has ever made.
| Release Date | November 4, 2005 |
| Director | Mark Dindal |
The Sword in the Stone
The Sword in the Stone is not a good movie at all. It’s below average and not really up to the mark. It’s going in the D-tier for sure. Although you will love parts of it such as the Wizard Duel which is incredible. But the rest of it is boring. And the ending is very bad too.
| Release Date | December 25, 1963 |
| Director | Wolfgang Reitherman |

About Disney Movies
We are sure that most of the movies mentioned in our tier list for the best Disney movies in August 2022 are not only seen and loved by children but also adults alike.
The reason why Disney movies are so popular is that they have serious themes and always end up with an important message. These movies can affect and inspire you in unimaginable ways and always have a message that makes us think in the end.
Disney movies might seem like they’re created for children only but that is not the case. The movies have always reached out to a versatile audience and the stories are always the most interesting with a great plot. We have not just created the tier list for best Disney movies in August 2022 for the sake of nostalgia, but we have also tried to emphasize the importance of the messages each movie holds.
How We Made Our Disney Movie Tier List
It should be noted that to ease the process of ranking, we have introduced 5 different tiers. We have been using this format for many different topics for instance you can go through our article on Godzilla Movie Tier List.
Moving on, firstly, we have the S tier. In the S tier, all those movies are included that are the best of the best, the super-duper, the brilliant ones. It includes movies that are a must-watch for everyone.
After the S tier, we have the A tier. The A tier includes movies that too are epic, but not as good as the ones in the S tier. Next comes the B tier which includes movies that are way better than those mentioned in the C and D tiers, but not better than the S and A tiers. The C tier includes average movies. The movies in this list are neither too good, nor too bad. They are just average, middle-of-the-way kind movies.
Lastly, we have the D tier which includes the worst movies ever made. It includes those movies that you should never watch because they will disappoint you a lot. Thus, it is better not to waste your time watching them.
Now that you know everything about the Disney movie tier list ranking criteria, it is time that we take a deep dive and find out where your favorite Disney movie lies based on our ranking criteria.
Verdict
