OK, let's see if how the numbers are from Fantasia/2000 upward since that's where the mix-up seems to have begun:

39. Dinosaur
40. Emperor's New Groove
41. Atlantis
42. Lilio & Stitch
43. Treasure Planet
44. Brother Bear
45. Home on the Range
46. Chicken Little
47. Meet the Robinsons
48. Bolt
49. Princess and the Frog
50. Tangled

YEP! Dinosaur is definitely canon! :)

I believe this is the "official" list (I reviewed this thread and didn't see that anyone had posted it):

Personally, I'm not a fan of Dinosaur. I have tried multiple times to like it, but I have a hard time feeling engaged in the story line. IMHO, I don't consider Dinosaur "worthy" of canon status, but I feel the same way about Saludos Amigos given its brevity and that so much of it is live action.

That being said, since these are Disney's movies, my opinion is that they get to be the official word on what is/what is not canon, even if I personally don't like a film :)

If you are into Blu-ray, I would suggest getting the Blu-ray of Dinosaur, but if you are still buying standard DVD's then look for the two-disc version. It has been discontinued for some time, but there are copies of it to be found in a lot of different stores. Try to avoid buying it off of eBay, as they have it way overpriced.

I own both versions and can tell you that the Blu-ray truly makes everything look real. The first ten minutes of the movie is probably the best opening for a Disney movie I have ever seen.

:D

I gave up on officializing the canon when this studio made Chicken Little and went into the CGI biz. Stubborn of me I know but that's how I feel.

I'm surprise they're not making The Nightmare Before Christmas an official part of the canon. The film was originally released under the Touchstone Pictures label because the studios suits were chicken. Now they're milking it for all it's worth and crediting it as a Disney film.
