With Zootopia now marking the 55th Animated film to come of Disney itself [and not Pixar], this seemed inevitable. This specific round is focused on those films that came out after the Renaissance, when CGI was starting to pick up.  Between Pixar coming into view, and a good chunk of Disney people having moved over to Dreamworks, and both using CGI primarily, well to quote dead0:

This is why the people of my generation care a lot less about Disney than the people older and younger.  The Disney movies were garbage when I was a kid.  DisneyWorld/Land was cool when I was a kid, but the Disney movies, not so much.

The big difference is, of course, that my generation do have inklings of the 90's to go off, and there was Pixar on the side, and things returned fairly quickly once Pixar got bought and brought their quality with them.

Because of how remarkably bad or forgettable the line-up is here, I will once again have descriptions:

Fantasia 2000: It's pretty much Fantasia again, except with a bunch of awkward live-action intros and not all the segments are all that great.

The Emperor's New Groove: The only genuinely good movie with David Spade in it, pretty much about a selfish emperor who gets turned into a llama and has to return to his palace. Lots of quick one-liners and gags, but not much else.

Dinosaur: The first big CGI film by Disney themselves, though the backgrounds are live-action. The plot is pretty much The Land Before Time, except with more cheap gags, the main characters are older and there's a love interest.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire: This is the other movie with an actual princess who Disney left out of the line up. But besides that, the most notable thing about it is probably all the crazy monsters.

Lilo and Stitch: The one in Hawaii about a girl and her alien dog. Since this one actually made an impact, I won't go into more detail.

Treasure Planet: This one's Treasure Planet...IN SPACE. Where Jim Hawkins now air surfs, Long John Silver is part cyborg, Mr. Arrow is a rock and he gets murdered in cold blood for the shiggles, instead of just in the crossfire of mutiny. Also there's a pink blob.

Brother Bear: In Alaska, a guy and his brothers fight some bears, he loses his brother, takes revenge, and gets turned into a bear...that's kinda about it. Oh and there's some stereotypical Canadian Moose.

Home on the Range: A bunch of milk cows set off to save their farm from a a deranged cowboy who can hypnotize cows. Also the last 2D animated film for five years.

Chicken Little: The movie where a chicken says "Aaaaah the sky is falling!", and everyone and thing looks hideous.

Meet the Robinsons: Besides time-travel, I honestly don't know that much about this one, the first movie since the musical package ones in the 40's that I myself haven't actually seen.


Once again, Red for Best, Blue for Worst...but I will understand completely if you just put in two for blue...because there's a lot of stinkers.

NOTE: Yes, Meet the Robinsons is in blue twice, that was unintentional and not a secret reflection of my own views, and no I'm not changing it back. The one above the blue Fantasia 2000 should still be clicked if you consider it the best.

Chicken Little but this is the decade where Pixar was clearly superior

Chicken Little is the ONLY one of these I've seen (and that was an accident).  And I had several little kids running around in that time frame.  They were watching Toy Story and the Simpsons.

As for me, while I actually liked most of them before Brother Bear (except Dinosaur), I have to give it Treasure Planet, with Lilo & Stitch and Atlantis coming in a close second and third respectively.

I didn't like Lilo enough herself to consider it best, and as for Atlantis, it kinda fell apart when the crew actually got to Atlantis, with only the final battle to pick it up.

But Treasure Planet was just a reimagined Treasure Island with cool imagery, sure it's not the Muppets version, but it's still pretty good.


As for least, Home on the Range easily. The imagery is bland, the characters are annoying, and the plot is almost non-existent. This might honestly be my least favorite in the Canon PERIOD.

They all suck, the The Emperor's New Groove is the least awful.

Best: The Emperor's New Groove. It has easily the best comedy Disney has ever made, and having the protagonist start off as a complete douchebag was an interesting innovation that really paid off story-wise. Lilo & Stitch is a solid second, and I actually love Atlantis too.

Least good: I think Home on the Range is pretty universally despised. Good thing I never saw it because these were the years I phased out of Disney (really, I only returned to it very recently).
