[Disney's Divinity]

1. Frozen
2. Moana
3. Zootopia
4. Meet the Robinsons
5. Tangled
6. Wreck-It Ralph
7. Dinosaur
8. Big Hero 6
9. Bolt
10. (I'm just going to reserve this spot for Ralph Breaks the Internet)
11. Chicken Little

Frozen's the only one I love. I like Moana and Zootopia. Even though Meet the Robinsons is flawed, the BHG + Doris are hilarious. Tangled has grown on me, but it and WIR are in the 'meh' category for me; I can at least enjoy them while watching them. The rest have moments or characters I like, but are mostly bad (for example, I love Tadashi and Baymax is cute, but nothing else about BH6 is worth seeing).

1. Moana - the only one I really love and the best film with the best soundtrack since the 90's in my opinion.
2. Zootopia - great world building and great characters. (2016 was Disney's best year in the last decade).
3. Tangled - it has great potential and I like it even though it has major flaws, especially with the DreamWorks humor and that terrible ending.
4. Frozen - I like it but I don't think it is the greatest thing ever.

The rest are really not that good in my opinion, I despise Chicken Little and Wreck-it Ralph and the sequel was mediocre. Big Hero 6 and Bolt were forgettable. I haven't seen Dinosaur and Meet the Robinsons and I don't plan to.

1. Wreck-It Ralph
2. Zootopia
3. Frozen
4. Meet the Robinsons
5. Big Hero 6
6. Moana
7. Bolt
8. Chicken Little
9. Tangled
10. Dinosaur
11. Ralph Breaks the Internet

Moana would rank higher than Big Hero 6 if it wasn't for the anachronistic humor and princess digs. If some of Frozen's inconsistencies were ironed out, it would probably be number 1.

1. Tangled
2. Zootopia
3. Moana
4. Frozen
5. Meet the Robinsons
6. Bolt
7. Wreck-It Ralph
8. Big Hero 6
9. Dinosaur
10. Chicken Little

1. Frozen

Sometimes it really pains me just how popular Frozen became because it really causes a lot of people to dismiss it. The music is the best Disney has had since Hunchback easily and the story, while not perfect, is one of the grandest the house of mouse has told in many years. All the characters are likable, and though the twist villain now feels a bit played out, the reveal is still one of the best "WTF" moments Disney has ever given us. I saw the film in a packed theater and their was many an angry gasp that night. There really isn't anything about Frozen I actively dislike, and that's what really sets it apart from the rest of the CG Disney films for me.

2. Meet the Robinsons

I've been a champion of this little movie since its release. I think it is easily the funniest movie Disney has ever made and it gets overlooked so often by everyone because it came out when Dreamworks was the funny animation top dog. Sure the movie suffers from so many plot holes swiss cheese is jealous, but the heart is undeniable and it's just so damn fun.

3. Moana

Moana really only ranks low because of my own personal dislike of the The Rock, and while he is infinitely more tolerable in an animated film, the movie was still made as a vehicle for him so a lot of my personal grievances with him as an actor still exist. If Maui were played by anyone else I think Moana may have beat out Frozen on my list.

4. Big Hero 6

No more explanations. Just know I like each of the movies from this point out significantly less than the ones that come before them. In fact Tangled is the last CGI film that cracks my Top 25 overall.

5. Tangled

6. Zootopia

7. Bolt

8. Ralph Breaks the Internet

9. Dinosaur

10. Chicken Little

11. Wreck-It Ralph

I hated this movie. It's completely irrational, but I just don't like it. Nothing works for me. All the characters are awful. I don't have video game nostalgia so even that comes up short for me. The sequel I liked marginally more, but not for any reason or character that existed in the first. When compared to the entire DAC cannon it ranks only above the package films and Brother Bear.

Wreck-It Ralph
Big Hero 6
Meet the Robinsons
Tangled
Zootopia
Frozen
Bolt
Dinosaur
Chicken Little

I've always had a soft spot for Meet the Robinsons, but now I've realized I irrationally like it much more than I anticipated. Probably is due to a rewatch. I haven't seen Ralph Breaks the Internet, cause it only opens in my country in January, but hopefully I get to see it next week.

[Dr Frankenollie]

1. Moana
2. Zootopia
3. Meet the Robinsons
4. Tangled
5. Frozen
6. Chicken Little
7. Wreck-It Ralph
8. Dinosaur
9. Big Hero 6
10. Bolt

For all that Dinosaur is a dreadful experience from a narrative standpoint, there are still moments of real beauty, visually, and the early montage with the egg is very well-directed and effective. There is nothing as pleasing or interesting as that in the banal efforts of Bolt and Big Hero 6 (if not for the endearing Baymax, Big Hero 6 would be ranked at the bottom). Wreck-It Ralph is just obnoxious. So is Chicken Little, but it’s slightly funnier.

Frozen is too over-signified to talk about - simultaneously underrated and overrated, unworthy of both the huge success and the backlash from some quarters. The focus on the dynamic between two sisters is indeed a novel and interesting approach. The songs are good for what they are, in this sort of musical. The mockery of previous Disney films misses the point and has the same adolescent tone of Shrek, a tone which by 2013 was well more than stale, but it’s to be expected. I don’t like it very much, but it’d be churlish to pretend that Frozen is bad.

Tangled is much better though. Better character animation, more moving, and considerably funnier. Meet the Robinsons has lots of flaws but lots of sweet and quirky moments too.

Zootopia and Moana are the only two of all these which I’d say are really, properly good and worth watching. Zootopia turns the well-worn Disney/Pixar formula of an odd couple on a road trip into a neo-noir in a thrillingly ultra-detailed city, with a surprisingly complex message concerning diversity, integration and racism. And Moana is wonderful: incredible effects animation, lively songs, and a whole lot of heart.

1. Moana - the only one I really love and the best film with the best soundtrack since the 90's in my opinion.
2. Zootopia - great world building and great characters. (2016 was Disney's best year in the last decade).
3. Tangled - it has great potential and I like it even though it has major flaws, especially with the DreamWorks humor and that terrible ending.
4. Frozen - I like it but I don't think it is the greatest thing ever.

The rest are really not that good in my opinion, I despise Chicken Little and Wreck-it Ralph and the sequel was mediocre. Big Hero 6 and Bolt were forgettable. I haven't seen Dinosaur and Meet the Robinsons and I don't plan to.

Well, I had the opportunity to watch Dinosaur and Meet the Robinsons, so here's my new ranking, including all the films:

Films I like:
1. Moana
2. Tangled
3. Zootopia
4. Frozen

Films I don't care about:
5. Dinosaur
6. Big Hero 6
7. Bolt
8. Meet the Robinsons

Films I hate:
9. Ralph breaks the Internet
10. Wreck-it Ralph
11. Chicken Little

[Rumpelstiltskin]

I haven't seen Ralph Breaks the Internet. I planned to, but when I finally decided to see it, it had been pulled from the theatres. And so far I have only seen about five minutes of Dinosaur (a scene where a dinosaur is laying on the ground and talking). So I can't say anything about those.

The lowest one on the list is Bolt. An bland movie I can barely remember.

Meet the Robinsons, one of the "forgotten features" had some really great world building regarding the future. But the story itself was pretty forgettable.

Chicken Little was better than many gives it credit for in my opinion, and you can feel Lasster's absence in it, but you can tell this is a movie that makes an effort to be more modern and attract a modern audience.

Moana. It took forever before the real story started, and some of the cliches were a bit annoying. What design is concerned, I think Moana is one of the best looking characters.

Tangled. OK popcorn entertainment. This was a step in the right direction for Disney, but except from some of the technological progress, I doesn't feel like a movie that really stands out. And they made Rapunzel a brunette.

Zootopia. This could have been a Pixar movie. A deconstruction of the talking animals concept. But the deconstruction trend is becoming a bit predictable. A simplified and exaggerated explanation would be that there has been a shift from right brain hemisphere art to left brain hemisphere ideas, if that makes any sense. A little preachy, and probably a little too hard to understand for the younger children. And it has the usual Lasseter elements like a "fake intro", a surprise villain and the mantra that for every laughter there has to be a tear. But there are also funny moments.

Frozen. Actually, there is not much to say about this movie. Didn't like the twist at the end. Otherwise it was cool to see how far animation as a medium has come.

Not sure if I liked Wreck-It Ralph or Big Hero 6 better. Both were refreshing in their own way, even if the first one was funnier. The latter had the usual ingredients we have gotten used to now (which is why it would have been interesting to see it made by another studio), but offer something different.
