Its studios Walt Disney They celebrated last October 100 years Filmmaking, where they presented to the public a group of distinctive and pioneering animation masterpieces.

But not all films were good or successful – either because they failed to find an audience upon their initial release, or because they were disappointing sequels to otherwise accomplished original films, or because they simply did not live up to the quality expected.

According to the site Rotten tomatoeswhich collects reviews and produces an average rating, the following ten films are the worst In 100 Years of Disney. We note that the list concerns films that It was shown in cinemasBecause if we also count those released directly to video/DVD, the quality drops even more…

10. I Wish (2023)

Corrupt classification tomatoes: 50%

Wish, Disney’s latest film aiming to celebrate its 100th anniversary, was full of references to previous films, while visually attempting to evoke films from a bygone era, while taking advantage of the latest techniques in animation. However, it does not have enough virtues to stand on its own, while few of its songs stick out.

9. The Lost Atlantis (2001)

Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 49%

Although Atlantis: The Lost Empire is now considered by many to be an underrated cult classic, this story about a crew of archaeologists and explorers who travel to the depths of the ocean to discover a lost Atlantis was a critical failure both critically and on the box office. office. . Problems in its production, combined with sudden budget cuts and disagreements between the creators and the studio, resulted in a messy and relatively incomplete final product, far from Disney’s standards of the time.

8. Peter Pan: Return to Neverland (2002)

Corrupt classification tomatoes: 45%

Nearly half a century after “Peter Pan,” comes this sequel to the classic. Although most Disney sequels at the time were intended for the VHS and DVD market, “Return to Never Land” was one of the few exceptions to be shown in theaters. But that doesn’t make it better than the other parts because it has nothing to add to the original. In fact, most of them forgot it existed.

7. Planes 2: Firefighter Flight (2014)

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 44%

Former jet fighter turned speed racer Dusty is forced to switch careers and become a firefighter. Although considered slightly better than the original “Planes” movie, the sequel “Planes: Fire & Rescue” is one of the most boring animated films, doing almost nothing to entertain anyone over the age of 8…

6. Bobby 2: Prince of the Jungle (2006)

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 44%

The sequel to one of Disney’s first and greatest films was released 64 (!) years later. Although it was not released in American theaters, it traveled to international theaters where it grossed approximately $35 million. Like other Disney sequels, “Bambi II” adds little to the original story, even recycling entire scenes from the first film. Although it is considered one of the company’s best efforts in this field, it falls far short of the original.

5. My Brother Bear (2003)

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 37%

“Brother Bear” was considered by many to be the end of an era for Disney as a whole, as it was a far cry from the innovative and pioneering work the company had done up to that point. The simplistic story (a young Indian man kills a bear who himself turns into a bear to learn a life lesson) and annoying secondary characters nullify any attempt at some strong emotional moments. But even this movie has its fans.

4. Chicken Little (2005)

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 37%

One of Disney’s first digitally animated films, “Chicken Little” paved the way for similar successes in the future, but it was buried by critics and is considered by many to be the worst film in the studio’s history. The design was considered ugly, the characters obnoxious, and the humor crude, with too many pop culture references.

3. Doug’s first movie (1999)

Corrupt classification tomatoes: 28%

“Doug’s 1st Movie” was the first in a series of films adapted from the popular Disney Channel animated series. Although some, such as “Recess: School’s Out” and “Teacher’s Pet” were relatively successful, “Doug’s 1st Movie” was critically panned. Some descriptions were “bare and cheap”, “more of an extended series episode than a cinematic experience” and “awful”.

2. Planes (2013)

Corrupt classification tomatoes: 25%

After selling all the cars in the first two “Cars” films, Disney thought about doing the same thing with airplanes. Exactly the same, so much so that he doesn’t even bother to think of a slightly different story. From the first seconds of the movie “Airplanes” it becomes clear that the sole purpose of filming it is to sell toys. It is considered one of the most embarrassing moments in Disney’s 100-year history.

1. The Jungle Book 2 (2003)

Corrupt classification tomatoes: 18%

More than any other Disney sequel, “The Jungle Book 2” is the most straightforward version of the original film (released 36 years ago). It has very little original content and, surprisingly, was released theatrically, where it managed to earn $186 million. Audiences may have had no problem going to see it, but critics immediately denounced it as a cheap rip-off, which explains its low rating.
