12) Cinderella (1950)
After a long hiatus, properly returned with Cinderella. The second-ever Princess cemented what the title meant more than Snow White did. Everything about this is memorable, from Cinderella's blue dress to the pumpkin carriage, and the adorable mice.

13) Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Adapting Lewis Carroll's already iconic book wasn't an easy task, particularly with how crazy the imagery gets. This didn't bother , who was more than up to the challenge and created perhaps the most definitive version of this wild story.

14) Peter Pan (1953)
Peter Pan was an instant , and Wendy, Peter, and Captain Hook all became characters. There's a reason that despite being an opening day attraction, Peter Pan's Flight still has hour-long queues at the Disney Parks.

15) Lady and the Tramp (1955)
After the wild and fantastical adventures of Cinderella and Peter, Lady and the Tramp's contemporary setting and simple plot seem quaint by comparison. That doesn't stop the from being a charming gem with an iconic cast and memorable moments, most notably the spaghetti scene which has seared into the pop culture zeitgeist forever.

16) (1959)
The third Princess is perhaps the most timeless. Princess Aurora, Maleficent, and the fairies are all iconic players. The song "Once Upon a Dream" is nearly as prevalent in Disney Parks as "When You Wish Upon a Star" and do we really even need to mention the castles. Disneyland in California, Paris, and Hong Kong all have this to thank for their signature centerpieces.

17) One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961)
What a charming One Hundred and One Dalmatians is. Set in London, it follows the plight of Roger and his Dalmatian Pongo as they meet and fall in love with Anita and her spotted pooch, Perdita. What follows are a lot of puppies (three guesses how many) and a maniac fur enthusiast by the name of Cruella De Vil. Not 's most subtle villain name but a one nonetheless.

18) The Sword in the Stone (1963)
The Sword in the Stone takes inspiration from European mythology and adapts the tale of King Arthur and Merlin the Wizard (albeit in Arthur's younger years). It wasn't hugely well received at the time, but it did give us those awesome swords to pull out of the ground at parks. It's also notable for being the first with a score by the Sherman Brothers.

19) The (1967)
The tale of Mogli is notable for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it marks the last that Walt produced, and he even died during the 's production. It has also been adapted more than almost any other , with live-action remakes in 1994 and 2016 as well as an animated sequel in 2003.

Duchess and her three kittens went through a number of development issues before seeing release. The was even greenlit by Walt himself before he passed away.

21) Robin Hood (1973)
Oo-De-Lally! This adaptation of the English folk story is a real charmer and again, the definitive Robin Hood story to many. Sorry Kevin Costner. A number of viral videos have also pointed out the amusing use of reused from The in this , particularly regarding Little John and Baloo.

22) The Many Adventures of the (1977)
The first musical anthology since the 60s! the is a timeless character and — at the risk of sounding like a broken record — the version is in many ways the most iconic version of this story. "The the main theme" by the Sherman Brothers will always be associated with that lovable yellow bear.

23) The Rescuers (1977)
An interesting choice for for sure, The Rescuers starts to show a little decline of quality and a fairly generic idea. Perhaps there's a reason it was initially shelved in 1962 by Walt. Still, it's a fairly inoffensive feature that's sadly remembered more for an infamous real-life naked woman poster in the background than for its story and characters.

24) The Fox and the Hound (1981)
This buddy drama pulls on the heartstrings with its story of two natural-born enemies who become the best of pals. It even stars future Guardians of the Galaxy actor Kurt Russell as Copper; who knew!

25) The Black Cauldron (1985)
Oh, boy. 's most infamous was stuck in production hell for years and was widely considered a commercial and critical failure upon release. It's absolutely 's darkest , but it's up for debate whether it's objectively the worst on the list. It has a growing cult following and is actually quite fascinating from an adult's perspective.

does Sherlock Holmes! Vincent Price is the clear star of the show here as the despicably evil Ratigan. The was received far more warmly than its predecessor but it still wasn't the hit that was looking for.

The solution to 's growing financial problems was… Billy Joel and Charles Dickens? No, as it turns out, but this strange adaptation is still full of charm and charisma despite trading Victorian London for contemporary Manhattan.

"And lived happily ever after…" Yes, The marks a huge turning point for the mouse as it enjoyed critical and commercial success and a triumphant return to the Princess brand. The name Alan Menken became arguably as beloved as the Sherman Brothers and the went on to gross a very respectable $233 million at the box office. The Renaissance had begun.

29) The Rescuers Down Under (1990)
Often forgotten due to being wedged between two undisputed masterpieces, Down Under is a far superior version of its 1977 predecessor. The updated style does wonders for this Australia-set and the benefits from stunning imagery, particularly when the bird of prey is involved. It also marks the first to be made entirely digitally and the final performance by the legendary Eva Gabor.

30) Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Beauty and the Beast is a cinematic masterpiece; there's no two ways about it. Often called the greatest of all time, this follows Belle as she slowly falls in love with the Beast who slowly becomes more likable and relatable. It's got it all: an excellent female role model, a divine soundtrack, and stunning . It was nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards for a reason. At the very least, it's regarded as one of the finest Disney animated classics.

From France to the fictional city of Agrabah. was another smash hit by Walt Studios and follows the titular character as he embarks on a , magical .

32) The Lion King (1994)
The famous project of 's "B team" that became for the longest time the highest-grossing at all time. Wow. The story of Simba is ably accompanied by revolutionary techniques and a compelling score by Hans Zimmer as well as songs by Elton John and Tim Rice. Throw in an all-star cast including James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, and Matthew Broderick and you have one of the most memorable films ever made.

33) Pocahontas (1995)
Pocahontas suffered hard by being preceded by The Lion King. Its more divisive plot about English colonists was heavier than people were expecting and its more realistic didn't do it any favors either. It's a shame as the is quite beautiful in places, Pocahontas is a great role model, and the soundtrack is stunning. "Colors of the Wind"? Yes, please.

34) The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
If you've read my OpEd, you know that I think Hunchback is the greatest has ever made. Sadly, many didn't agree and the Victor Hugo adaptation was met with a mixed reception. Whatever your thoughts, no one can deny how stunning the is, how earnest Tom Hulce as Quasi is, how electrifying Alan Menken's score is, and most of all; how incredible a villain Judge Claud Frollo is.

35) Hercules (1997)
Hercules is an adaptation of the Greek myth of the same name, but actually, it's more a retelling of DC Comics' Superman origin story. It then blends Motown music, Michael Bolton, and the artwork of Gerald Scarfe (the man most famous for the in Pink Floyd's The Wall). Somehow, Hercules still manages to be very entertaining and was received warmly by audiences, and mostly warmly by critics.

36) Mulan (1998)
Mulan takes inspiration from a Chinese legend for the first time and gives us our first Asian Princess. Mulan herself is also one heck of a female role model as she is far less passive and far more heroic than many of her contemporaries. The cast features big-name actors like Eddie Murphy and Donnie Osmond and is notable for the perpetual earworm "Make a Man out of You."

37) Tarzan (1999)
Often considered the final of the Renaissance era, Tarzan is notable for not being a musical. Well, not in the traditional sense. It has a number of songs written by Phil Collins, but more often than not, they're performed by Collins as opposed to the characters. Tarzan is notable for its implementation of 3D , something also seen in movies like Hunchback.

38) Fantasia 2000 (1999)
Just shy of sixty years after the release of Fantasia, it finally gets a sequel in the form of Fantasia 2000. This is notable for being the first feature-length sequel to get a theatrical release, something not seen again until Ralph Breaks the Internet and then Frozen 2. The idea was pitched by Roy and the received an impressive critical response, particularly the climactic Firebird scene, Fantasia 2000's equivalent to A Night on Bald Mountain.

39) Dinosaur (2000)
The first computer-generated/live-action is often forgotten or at best remembered as being not all that memorable. It features highly impressive for the time and did very well at the box office. Sadly, it's lack of an original plot and poor characters left critics underwhelmed. It lives on at the Parks though, particularly through James Newton Howard's score which often loops at Paris' Walt Studios and Orlando's Hollywood Studios.

40) The Emperor's New Groove (2000)
Ha! Boom Baby! The Emperor's New Groove had a fascinating production cycle that could easily be its own article. Starting life as a more serious original project called Kingdom of the Sun, the underwhelming box office performances of Hunchback and Pocahontas spooked producers into making it lighter-hearted. And lighthearted it was, filled with amusing jokes delivered by an all-star cast consisting of John Goodman, David Spade, Eartha Kitt, and Patrick Warburton. The follows a selfish Emperor who is turned into a llama and must befriend a peasant to become human again.

Long rumored to be getting a , Atlantis: The Lost Empire is a bold sci-fi set around the allegedly lost city of Atlantis. The made use of computer-generated imagery and maintained a similar 'blocky' art style to the Emperor's New Groove and a steam punk-inspired aesthetic. It follows a cartographer named Milo (Michael J. Fox) as he becomes part of an exploration team to find the lost city of Atlantis. It also spawned a direct-to-video sequel and marks the first science fiction on this list.

's third sci-fi in a row took four years to make but was in the works for far longer than that. It was first pitched to then CEO Michael Eisner in 1985 and was rejected several times before Walt Jeffrey Katzenberg finally agreed to make it after the completion of Hercules. The loosely adapts Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island and stars a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jim Hawkins. Sadly, the years of waiting didn't pay off and the was a commercial failure and only received lukewarm critical acclaim.

Mostly forgotten by fans, this received mixed reviews and a poor box office performance despite featuring the likes of Judi Dench and Cuba Gooding Jr. It features a group of cows in the Old West trying to capture a Cattle Rustler for his bounty to save their farm. One of the most questionable Disney animated classics to be given the title.

This quirky is often forgotten or disliked for its weird sense of humor and fast-paced action. It didn't perform terribly well with critics but was adequate at the box office. It's loosely based on the book A Day With Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce. Not one you'll hear talk about much these days.

53) Frozen (2013)
Walt had considered an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen since before the release of Snow White, way back in 1937. Nobody was prepared for how insanely popular this musical would eventually be as it became the highest-grossing of all time. It has since lost this title to its own sequel and The Lion King , but it still sits at number three. It's even the sixteenth highest-grossing period and was the fifth at its peak. Needless to say, Frozen was the first on this list to top $1 billion and it became a household name and worldwide phenomena overnight.

54) Big Hero 6 (2014)
Following Frozen was clearly no easy task, but a convoluted superhero story with no musical elements was certainly a bold route to take. Big Hero 6 is certainly an ambitious , however, as it follows Hiro Hamada in the futuristic city of San Fransokyo and his adorable (and marketable) best robot bud Baymax. This big bundle of robotic joy has since become a staple of the Walt and Big Hero 6 is generally remembered fondly. It is notable for being the first to use another property's (OK, one owned by ) characters as the brand is owned by Marvel comics. Baymax looks significantly different in the source material!
