I've started a pilgrimage of watching every single film by Walt Disney Animation Studios, in order.

A THREAD.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Impressive, considering it's the first ever feature length animation. But, with it's really simple story and one-note characters, it's kinda dull. The Dwarfs were fun, though.

Pinocchio. This was a huge step above Snow White. Main character is a lovable idiot, pretty charming movie.

Fantasia. Way longer than it needed to be. It's basically just a series of music videos, to classical tunes. A mixed bag. Animation was great all around.

The Reluctant Dragon. More live action than animated. Basically a behind the scenes tour of Disney Studios. Guy goes to pitch the titular movie idea to Walt, gets sidetracked along the way. Fun!

Dumbo. Short and sweet. Racist as heck, and not just from the crows.

Bambi. Easily the best one yet. Got a lot of nostalgia for this one. Surprising amount of similarities with The Lion King. Lovely film.

Saludos Amigos. Tour through 1940s Latin America! I can't vouch for it's accuracy, but it's amusing enough.

Victory Through Air Power. Oh, hey, a World War II Propaganda film! I hadn't seen one of those before! It was certainly interesting, and it made complex military strategy easy to parse.

The Three Caballeros. A sequel to Saludos Amigos! Surprisingly mysoginisyic. Donald Duck is a total perv here. The ending is an absolute fever dream.

Make Mine Music. More music videos! The first few are utterly boring, but once it gets to Peter and the Wolf, it's smooth sailing onward.

Song of the South. Yeah, it's got slavery, which is problematic. Yeah, it pretends that slavery isn't that bad. Also problematic. But it's ultimately pretty benign, at least at face value, but it's nothing special, either. Kinda boring, but Uncle Remus is awesome.

Fun and Fancy Free. It's just a pair of half-hour cartoons, one about a circus bear named Bongo who leaves the circus to go to the wild, and then falls in love, and then Mickey and the Beanstalk. Jiminy Cricket introduces Bongo, and then some ventriloquist for Mickey. Pretty good

Melody Time. Yet another collection of musical shorts. Again, some were decent, some were dull. Getting bored of these package films, but this should be it for a while.

So Dear To My Heart. Pretty boring. Mostly live action, with just a little bit of animation.

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. Wind in the Willows, and Sleepy Hollow. Pretty good!

Cinderella. Finally into the Silver Age. Good stuff. I barely remembered this movie, but it holds up very well.

Alice In Wonderland. Good, old fashioned, insanity. I love how Alice's reaction to the madness isn't fear, or concern, but mere annoyance.

Peter Pan. Besides the problems with outdated racial stereotypes (ie, "Injuns"), it's a lot of fun. Hook and Smee are a delight.

Lady and the Tramp. I truly was not expecting how delightful this movie is. Loved it. The Siamese cats are only a little racist, it's fine.

Sleeping Beauty. I don't have anything clever to say here, it's just a solid movie.

One Hundred and One Dalmatians. I forgot just how great this movie was. Some of the background art seemed unfinished, but I suspect that was an intentional artistic decision. The actual animation, and the writing, are top notch.

The Sword in the Stone. A bit meandering, but I liked it. Hadn't seen this one before, oddly enough.

The Jungle Book. Drags a bit in the middle, but still a classic. The Bare Necessities is one of my all time favourite Disney songs.

The Aristocats. Overall, pretty unremarkable, but still decent.

Robin Hood. Loved it. Absolutely terrific!

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Really can't go wrong with Winnie the Pooh. Definitely nostalgic.

The Rescuers. Decent, but pretty dry. The lack of a musical score doesn't help.

The Fox and the Hound. Such a huge nostalgia trip for me. Great movie, great feels.

The Black Cauldron. Wow, that was intense! Very impressive animation, very dark and scary, with quite the graphic villain demise. Plot was a bit on the flimsy side, but the movie was more than interesting enough to make up for it.

The Great Mouse Detective. Sherlock Holmes, but with mice. Good stuff.

Oliver and Company. Inoffensive, but really didn't grab me. Might've been better (or maybe worse) if I was more familiar with Oliver Twist.

The Little Mermaid. Finally, I'm in the Disney Renaissance. A classic.

The Rescuers Down Under. Another one that I hadn't seen, but I loved it! Fantastic adventure!

Beauty and the Beast. Still my favorite Disney movie! Truly a beautiful film. I love it.

Aladdin. Seen it a million times, and it never gets old.

The Lion King. Another perfect, timeless classic.

Pocahontas. Pretty underwhelming. Colors of the Wind was the only great part, although the interactions between Meeko and Percy were fun.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Funny how I can watch a movie as a kid and find it boring, but now as an adult, find it to be one of the best Disney movies. Fantastic.

Hercules. Nothing too mind blowing, but pretty good. The songs by the Muses are a lot of fun.

Mulan. I bet that if it were to come out now, people would whine that it's "SJW", but honestly, it's excellent.

Tarzan. Phil Collins doing all of the music doesn't at all fit the tone of the film. The only good song is Strangers Like Me. Otherwise pretty solid, very impressive animation.

Fantasia 2000. Overall, a bit stronger than the original. I thought the whale one was boring, and the Tin Soldier was bland, but everything else was solid. Rhapsody in Blue was my favorite. Surprised to see that Donald Duck is a Biblical figure!

Dinosaur. Pretty boring. CGI holds up okay, but the character lighting isn't very good.

The Emperor's New Groove. Easily the funniest Disney movie yet. Hilarious! I love it.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Hadn't seen it before, but it's really good. Definitely a hidden gem, as far as Disney films go.

Lilo and Stitch. Strange juxtaposition between a heartfelt family drama, and zany alien hijinks. Somehow, it works. Fantastic.

Treasure Planet. Pretty good. Main character was a bit bland (and I like Joseph Gordon-Levitt), but overall it was fairly solid.

Brother Bear. Yet another one that is say is "pretty good." Charming enough, but kinda run-of-the-mill, at this point. Phil Collins' music fits better here than in Tarzan, but I'm still not a big fan.

Home on the Range. Yeah, it's not good. Showed a bit of promise at the beginning with some decent slapstick, but that all went away as soon as Roseanne showed up with her particular brand of non-funny, off-colour humor. They tried really hard to be funny, and failed miserably.

Chicken Little. I did not like that movie. It doesn't even feel like a Disney movie. It's the most un-Disney movie of them all. And it's not very good.

Meet the Robinsons. Most of the movie is really weird, but the ending is actually really touching.

Bolt. After a bit of a rough patch, Disney's getting their groove back. This one's good!

Princess and the Frog. A nice return to form, fits right in with the Disney Renaissance, and I guess it ushers in the new renaissance. This one's good.

Tangled. Another favourite of mine. In fact, I think I've decided that my all time Disney song is from this movie, "I See The Light." That entire scene is just so beautiful.

Winnie the Pooh. Typical Pooh goodness, a delight, as per usual.

Wreck-It Ralph. Great video game mashup. Had a lot of potential to do more with that aspect, they opted to not let that get in the way of the story, and the movie is probably better for it.

Frozen. Terrific. I don't care what anyone says, "Let it Go" is fantastic. The thing I don't like is how the villain's turn comes out of nowhere. His motivations make sense, but until then, he seems totally good and genuine, there's no foreshadowing. Otherwise, it's excellent.

Big Hero 6. I had actually forgotten about this movie. It's still a pretty good superhero movie, and Baymax is super loveable.

Zootopia. Compelling examination of prejudice, while also being just a really entertaining buddy cop movie.

Moana. Another gem. I'm not really a fan of You're Welcome, or Shiny, but the other songs are great. The CGI for the water is incredible.

Ralph Breaks the Internet. Found it a bit lacking. Not much in the way of conflict, until it was shoehorned in right at the end. I liked the stuff with the Disney Princesses, it was a fun way to tie together everything I've watched over the last few months.

Frozen II. Every time I see this movie, it gets better. Absolutely beautiful, and surprisingly mature. Surpasses the first Frozen.

And here's a tier list I made, sorted from best to worst.
