51. Dinosaur
The first CGI film that the studio made was actually pretty popular and considered revolutionary for its time. Today it looks ugly and dated. The backgrounds are nice, but the dinosaurs themselves are hideous and you can barely tell any of them apart. It doesn't help that practically no one has a personality that's memorable enough to tell them apart from any other character in the film, with I'll say two exceptions in Zinni and Bruton. The story is as overdone as they come, there are no surprises here, you know exactly how this story is going to play out from the word go. This is definitely one of those movies that the canon could have done without.

52. Melody Time
In the mid-late 1940s, Disney made two Fantasia-esque films that were made up of several segments mostly set to music. Melody Time was a bit different in that it did feature a couple of stories that had some dialogue, including Johnny Appleseed, the strongest short in the bunch. But other than that it's mostly pretty weak. There's some decent animation for the time, and the snow segment is pretty, but nothing that's going to blow your mind and certainly nothing that's going to keep you or your kid satisfied for 75 minutes. The Trees segment is the worst; it's horribly boring (that one alone is more boring than anything on Saludos Amigos).

To me it looks like the Switch is yet again one of those Nintendo consoles that promises strong 3rd party support games but will never delivers, again

I'm not even sure if they promised strong third party support this time. That ship sailed with the SNES and hasn't come back.

Eh, GameCube had pretty comparable 3rd party support with PS2 and X-Box. There may have been a few that were left out that the other two got but it was certainly MUCH better than today. It also got a lot of 3rd party exclusives/timed exclusives, and I mean killers like Tales of Symphonia and Resident Evil 4.

53. Saludos Amigos
At just over 40 minutes in length, calling this a feature film is being unbelievably generous, but it's officially listed as the 6th feature film from the studio, so here goes. It's basically just four semi-educational cartoons about South and Central America spliced together with footage of the Disney crew in various countries. The cartoons are harmless, and occasionally humorous, and even feature Donald, Goofy, and the very first appearance of Jose Carioca, but they aren't anything special by any means. The film is pretty boring as a unit and really only exists because the Disney crew got the opportunity to travel down south and basically made a movie out of it. Next.

54. Home on the Range
Aka the film that pretty much served as the final nail in the coffin of hand-drawn animation. I've always said that one of the greatest strengths about Disney films is that they are first and foremost family films as opposed to kid's films. Yeah, they are made with kids in mind, but are timeless enough that they can be enjoyed by viewers of all ages. There are two (arguably three but I give the third one a pass) films on this list that I can honestly say are really just for kids, and one of those is Home on the Range. Full of loud, obnoxious characters, Nicktoon-quality animation, a plot that just barely makes sense and is convoluted by introducing too many characters too late in the movie, and plenty of jokes about the rear end and everything that comes out of it, this one is an easy pass for anyone over the age of 4. The one thing I will say on its behalf is that a couple of the songs are kinda catchy, and I give Alan Menken credit for actually putting some thought and effort into this piece of manuer.

53. Was released before 1950.

I was in Beauty and the Beast in 10th grade with all high schoolers and our Be Our Guest got a 2-minute standing ovation on opening night.

And Poke, Be Our Guest isn't the Act I finale. After Belle runs away, the Beast has a song and then the intermission. At least that's how it's officially written into the script. I guess some productions may change whatever they please.

I can't imagine that BB would put another Hantz on given what happened last time. Even Survivor seems to be avoiding them at this point.

Though it would be nice to see BB get some Survivor/TAR players given how many BB players have been on those shows.

By the way just yesterday I learned that at one point in the early 2000s there was supposed to be a film called "The Search for Mickey Mouse," in which Minnie, Donald and Goofy go looking for Mickey and along the way enlist the help of various Disney characters. Supposedly it was canned for being too confusing and convoluted and we got Mickey, Donald and Goofy in The Three Musketeers instead. Frankly I would've liked to see The Search for Mickey Mouse instead. Couldn't have been any more confusing and convoluted than Kingdom Hearts.

I am so thankful that the version of Mickey and the Giant Beanstalk I saw did not have the puppets

It confused the hell out of me when people kept talking about it in another Ranking... and then I saw them in the version you talked about

So what did you only watch MatB and then watch FaFF after reading some rankings?

55. Fun and Fancy Free
Well, this film certainly has the right title. It is completely free of being fancy or fun. Two stories that would have been much better off being served as two theatrical shorts as opposed to packaged together as one film. Supposedly both were initially supposed to be their own feature length film but Disney's staff and resources in the 40s were pretty limited, as we'll see in other parts of this list. Anyway the first is Bongo, a boring tale about a love triangle between three bears. The second is Mickey and the Beanstalk, which actually had a lot of potential but was ruined by some interludes about two annoying and creepy-as-hell puppets. Actually Mickey and the Beanstalk was eventually re-released as its own short with these segments removed and Sterling Holloway stepping in as the narrator, and it was much, much better. But this movie as it is is boring and disturbing, with the ACTUAL Mickey and the Beanstalk parts being the only thing keeping it above Chicken Little. But if you take away one thing from this write-up, make it this - the puppets are so bad that they cost this film four whole spots. If they had used the Sterling Holloway version of MatB, I would have put this at 51 and bumped the next four films down one spot each. As it is, the most notable thing about this film is that it marks the last time that Walt Disney himself voiced Mickey Mouse.

54. Another 2000s stinker out of the way early.

56. Chicken Little
After the box office and critical disaster that was Home on the Range, Disney abandoned 2D animation for their theatrical features and instead began to focus on being "Pixar but not Pixar" and making big dazzling CGI films with loads of special effects, pop-culture references and psuedo-adult humor. We all know how this turned out, and the Holy Fail of this rebellious phase is this disasterpiece in which a classic tale is turned into an ugly duckling-type story in which children learn that if you're being bullied by your peers, teachers, the goddamn mayor, and even your own father, all you have to do is prove that aliens exist and suddenly everything is hunky dory. Seriously I can't think of one positive thing to say about this movie except that the Fish is kinda funny and Don Knotts as the mayor gets a laugh or two (pity he had to end his career on THIS piece of crap). Other than that it's Disney trying to be cool and hip but instead just being loud and annoying and with mediocre animation to boot.

First, some facts and stats about the list.

-I actually made this list from the bottom up. Sometimes I find this easier than ranking from the top, especially with a finite number of items to be ranked.

-Immediately there were 20 films that stood out to me as "yeah, that can be ranked low and I'm not going to feel too bad about it." Those comprise #37-56 on this list. Note that this doesn't mean that YOU aren't going to disagree with those being ranked low. Just that I personally didn't feel dirty about putting any of them low because, well, they don't do much for me. In fact, I'd wager to say that as early as #50 is going to be the first "WTF" low pick.

-#32-36 were the "man, I feel dirty having it this low... but there's really nothing else of the 'good stuff' that I can put any lower" picks. I actively like well over half of the movies on this list. But out of those, 5 of them are a clear step below the rest.

-#25-31 is the next tier. I consider all of these to be very good movies, but something had to give and again, these were relatively easy to pick out from the rest of the bunch.

-This is where it got difficult. Everything from #24 on up I felt had a strong case for being in the top 10. I'm serious, that many films are that good. From there on out it was simply picking and choosing between what were the best of the best. In particular it was absolutely heartbreaking to keep #21 out of my top 20.

-Oh, and just since it has to be said, my favorite characters do not necessarily equal my favorite movies, nor to my least favorite characters necessarily equal my least favorite movies, so don't go basing your guesses off of SMDC.

And since I know you all want it...

56. Starting off the list very non-controversially, I think plenty of people are going to agree with this being dead last, and of those that don't I'm sure none are going to be heartbroken about it being gone first. No sarcasm, this isn't me being sly and putting something popular here. This one's a trainwreck.
