My Ranking of the 52 Disney Animated Features (Contains Post-1980 content)

In a few weeks, the Disney company is releasing their 53rd animated feature, Frozen. As such, I thought it was high time to look back at the ones that came before by ranking them from best to worst. I have not missed a single one of them. Many were staples of my childhood. I shall begin at the bottom and make my way to the top. Most of these films though are well worth watching. It is hard for me not to think about the memories that are flooding back to me at the moment. And now, without further ado, the rankings.
