Official Disney Animated Canon Ranking
When I was eighteen years old, at an age during which I firmly believed I could accomplish anything I set my mind to, I assembled a handful of classmates in the hopes of creating our very own short animated feature film. I had a storyboard going while the others (all excellent animators) were perfecting their craft, but for some odd reason, the project never came to be. I cannot recall why to be frank, but during that month of intense planning, I vowed to take inspiration from Disney films in an effort to determine from where stemmed the magic of the all-time great animated movies. As I was watching them, a personal ranking took place to help me with my storyboard, and although my project never did see the light of day, I've been updating my ranking every time a new Disney film gets released because why the hell not? The list had been made, and I already came so far.
