I was surprised by that episode 's score; it has a rating of 6.5.
That's really high for one of the worst episodes.

For a long time, AqualungGameReviews has been doing soundtrack rankings of level themes in the games he's reviewed in the past, but just today, he did a list where he ranks all the stage themes from all 11 Mega Man games in the classic series. This list includes the Wily Castle stage themes, but what I'm going to do here is rank the Robot Master themes based on his ranking. I'm going to reveal his Top 10 Worst and Top 10 Best. If you want to see the whole list, it's right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxMyC2xgsrE&list=WL&index=3Top 10 Worst: #10 - Tundra Man (Mega Man 11) #9 - Torch Man (Mega Man 11) #8 - Aqua Man (Mega Man 8) #7 - Wind Man (Mega Man 6) #6 - Clown Man (Mega Man 8) #5 - Search Man (Mega Man 8) #4 - Blast Man (Mega Man 11) #3 - Astro Man (Mega Man 8) #2 - Bounce Man (Mega Man 11) #1 - Drill Man (Mega Man 4) Kinda interesting that a majority of these were from Mega Man 8 and 11, but understandably, the instrumentation on those games didn't really have the same feel as the 8-bit games (or even the 16-bit Mega Man 7). Top 10 Best: #10 - Tornado Man (Mega Man 9) #9 - Quick Man (Mega Man 2) #8 - Spark Man (Mega Man 3) #7 - Shade Man (Mega Man 7) #6 - Cut Man (Mega Man 1) #5 - Flash Man (Mega Man 2) #4 - Wood Man (Mega Man 2) #3 - Skull Man (Mega Man 4) #2 - Top Man (Mega Man 3) #1 - Metal Man (Mega Man 2) Should come as no surprise that a lot of songs from Mega Man 2 made the Top 10 since I know that is his favorite game of all time.

Looking back at the Disney Animated Features, many of them are beloved timeless classics and have generated fan bases like you would not believe. However, not all of them are perfect. In fact, there are a few films in the canon that tend to get more hate than they do love. That's why I've decided to compile a list of the Top 20 Most Disliked Disney Animated Features. I based this list based on how much of a negative reception I have seen from them, and ranked them based on how few fans they seem to have to the best of my knowledge. Now, I'm not saying that everybody hates these movies, oh no, trust me, every single film in the canon has fans no matter how good or bad they are. Heck, I actually like most of the movies I'm about to list here! I will also briefly explain as best as I could on why they don't get enough love.
One thing to keep in mind is that I am not going to go through the entire Disney catalog. I'm not going to list Pixar movies, live action movies, FOX movies, and especially not any of the direct-to-DVD sequels from DisneyToon. (Believe me, if I included the latter, they would take up the entire list!) Maybe I'll do a seperate list for Pixar films sometime later, and maybe I'll also make a contrast list of the films in the canon that are the most loved, but for now, here are the Top 20 Most Disliked Disney Animated Features:
#20 - Alice in Wonderland (1951)
I put this one at the bottom of my list because this movie actually does have a lot of fans. However, most fans of Walt Disney Animation Studios like to brand this as the weakest film in the canon from the 50's. I think part of the reason might be because when it first came out, it wasn't a big hit, and even Walt Disney himself wasn't happy with it. It also rarely got any theatrical reissues, most likely because it was one of the very few Disney films to air on television before VHS tapes became a thing. However, ever since the 1980's, the movie has made tons of home media releases and has since gained a much better reputation over the years, and I can totally see why since it's memorable on so many levels.
#19 - Meet the Robinsons (2007)
Most people don't talk about this one because it's a pretty forgettable film that came out during a time when Disney was having some trouble finding their footing. I almost never hear anyone talk about it, and there's never any merchandise for it anywhere, and that's not a good sign for a Disney movie. So yeah, that basically is enough to put it on this list.
#18 - The Rescuers (1977)
This was actually Disney's biggest financial success during the Bronze Age of the studio, but even with that, a lot of people don't talk about it much. The biggest complaint that people give about the film is that it's boring, which is understandable, especially when compared to its more action-packed sequel, which a lot of Disney fans claim is very underrated. Though if you learn more about the original's history, you could gain a much bigger appreciation for it. Still, hardly anyone talks about this movie other than that one frane in the movie that eventually got censored. I mean, seriously, when was the last time you saw Bernard and Beyonca at any of the theme parks?
#17 - The Three Caballeros (1944)
One of the package films that was made during World War II. The reason many hardcore Disney fans brand this as one of the worst is because it is often regarded as a sequel to "Saludos Amigos", which making sequels was an idea that Walt Disney was always opposed to. Though others like to ignore that fact and view this as a fun movie. Besides, the Three Caballeros themselves have evolved into a franchise, so that's saying something.
#16 - Pocahontas (1995)
There are actually many good things about this movie like the animation and the music, but still, a lot of fans like to brand this as one of Disney's weakest films. Mostly because it was a disappointing follow-up to "The Lion King". Though the worst thing about this movie is the fact that Disney was really pushing to try to make it the "Citizen Kane" of animated films, even going as far to shove it into everyone's faces during the summer of its release. While it did win some awards like Best Original Song, it didn't even get nominated for Best Picture, and considering how historically inaccurate it was, it's easy to see why.
#15 - Dinosaur (2000)
The public's opinion is mixed on this one. This movie does have its share of fans mostly because it was one of their childhood movies, and the style of animation used on it was very impressive for its time. However, most people just don't get it. It's mostly labeled as a boring movie where practically nothing happens but a bunch of walking, it's loaded with historical inaccuracies, and not to mention its plot feels way too similar to another animated dinosaur movie that came out 12 years prior that was far more superior. I don't even know any of the voice actors who worked on it. There's really not much else to say about it.
#14 - Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
Much like "Pocahontas", this was a movie that Disney was hoping would become a huge hit. However, it wound up being a major financial flop forcing Disney to cancel other projects they had planned for the franchise including a TV series and a theme park attraction. What was so disappointing is that this movie did have a lot of potential, but they lost it. The movie does have a bit of a cult following who view it as an underrated classic, it's just a shame to see what happened after all the time and money they spent on it.
#13 - Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
This movie sadly didn't make much money since it came out during the COVID-19 Pandemic when most movie theaters were closed but late enough when they were slowly reopening. But even so, it failed to grab the attention of many audiences. Some people who saw it felt it was too dark and intense for a Disney film, and others thought that Sisu was annoying and felt a bit out-of-place in this movie. The truth of the matter is it just came out at a bad time and was overshadowed by "Encanto". The movie does have a pretty strong cult following, which I happen to be a part of, but it's a shame it doesn't get as much love as Disney's other beloved classics.
#12 - Strange World (2022)
Talk about forgettable! I don't think anyone even remembers this movie! It wasn't promoted very well, and those who did see it were mostly confused by it. I liked some aspects about it, but I wouldn't rank it as one of Disney's absolute best. Yeah, it's a bad sign when even I don't have much to say about it!
#11 - The Sword in the Stone (1963)
Most Disney fans consider this to be one of the weaker films in the Disney catalog because it lacked some of the magic and charm a lot of their previous films had. That's mostly because it was the last film in the canon that Walt Disney would live to see finished, and they think he deserved a better swan song in his career. Even though this was from the Silver Age, it showed a grim sign of what was coming in the Bronze Age. I personally think it's a pretty fun movie, and it was one of the few I grew up watching during my early childhood, so it kind of grew on me.
#10 - Make Mine Music (1946)
In recent years, I've been seeing a lot of people ranking this as the worst film from the Wartime Era, and I can see why as it's nothing more than a compilation of random short segments thrown together, which in a lot of people's eyes is a poor excuse for a movie, and it clearly showed how much Disney was struggling financially due to the war. I personally find this movie very underrated as there are plenty of memorable sequences from it. The shorter segments are a bit forgettable, but the longer ones are very fun and memorable.
#9 - Fun and Fancy Free (1947)
This is another one that a lot of people rank as one of the worst because they view it as kind of a weird movie. The two sequences on their own can actually be viewed as classics, especially "Mickey and the Beanstalk", which was the last time Walt Disney voiced the mouse himself before Jim MacDonald took over. Also, one has to appreciate Edgar Bergen to really appreciate the humor in this movie.
#8 - The Aristocats (1970)
There are numerous reasons why a lot of people brand this as one of the worst in the canon. It was the first film of the Bronze Age, and Walt's involvement in this movie was minimal despite him green-lighting the project. The animation looks very sketchy and somewhat unfinished. The story has similarities to "101 Dalmatians" and "Lady and the Tramp" but makes you wish you were watching those instead. Also, the characters are forgettable, especially the villain who is one of the worst Disney villains of all time. It's not one of my top favorites, but I certainly think calling it one of the worst is a bit harsh, and I'm sure others will agree with me. The movie definitely has a fan base; in fact, Marie is a strong target for merchandising in the Disney parks! I think this movie would have become a classic if some of its flaws were fixed.
#7 - The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
People have mixed emotions about this movie. The people who hate this movie hate it mostly because of how dark it is. It has a lot of dark moments and goes into deep subjects of Christianity and even uses some strong words like "Hell" (as if the villain song wasn't evident enough)! But on the other hand, that's also why people love it as it was an ambitious move for Disney; that and it was made during the Disney Renaissance, which was the most popular era for these films. Other people hate it because of the gargoyles, who were just thrown in there to keep this movie from getting a PG rating, and nowadays, it seems all animated movies are rated PG, and they're even more lighthearted than this movie! Regardless, I can understand why some people don't like this movie, but it still shows a perfect example of how animation is not just for kids.
#6 - Fantasia 2000 (1999)
Many people found this to be an unnecessary sequel, but I didn't think it was that bad. I mean sure, it's not as magnificent as the original, but most of the segments I find are a great work of art on their own. And yeah, the celebrity cameos were a bit unnecessary to try to modernize it, but I don't mind it that much. It's still good to put on once in a while.
#5 - Brother Bear (2003)
There was a time when I've been seeing people brand this as one of the absolute worst features in the canon. The most common reason I'm seeing is because it didn't make as much money as "Finding Nemo", which I think is a stupid excuse to hate it. I mean, yeah, "Finding Nemo" was certainly a game-changer in the animation industry, and "Brother Bear" was not promoted very well, but I personally find it to be an extremely underrated film. It's almost on the same level as the films from the Disney Renaissance. Some people actually agree with me too. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it yet; it's truly an underrated gem.
#4 - The Black Cauldron (1985)
There was a time when many Disney fans put this one at the bottom of the barrel. Why is that? Well, it's primarily because they brand it as the one Disney movie that should never have been made. At the time, it was the company's biggest financial bomb ever. It lost so much money that the studio nearly shut down causing many of the animators to get laid off, and some of them were lucky enough to even find employment after that! It was such a failure that it got pulled from theaters after only two weeks, and it would never see the light of day again for another 13 years! Again, hating a movie for its financial failure is a bit ridiculous, but what about the movie itself? Well, it was extremely dark and frightening, which is not something Disney is known for, so I can understand that. Personally, I like this movie a lot. I find it extremely underrated and think it was a very ambitious thing for Disney to do at the time. Ever since its resurface, it did gain a cult following, and we even see Taran and Eilonwy show up at special events at Disney parks once in a while, so that's saying something!
#3 - Home on the Range (2004)
This was another movie that a lot of people like to put at the bottom of the barrel. I can see why because of how silly and forgettable it is. A lot of people like to brand this as the movie that killed 2D animation since it was the last official one to be released in theaters for quite a while, and since then, it has become a rare medium. Though recently, it has started gaining some fans who look at it as an underrated film, but it's still a shame to see that CGI has become the norm for animated films for the past 20 years, and whether this movie is to blame for that, the jury's still out on that.
#2 - Chicken Little (2005)
A majority of Disney fans brand this movie as the absolute worst of the entire canon. This is actually one of the rare occasions where I actually agree with those people! Seriously, this movie has no redeeming factors whatsoever! The animation is ugly, the characters are annoying, the plot has no idea what kind of movie it wants to be, and overall, it just feels like a movie that would never age well at all. And to think that this was supposed to be Disney's way of proving they could make a CGI-animated film without Pixar? Well, they were certainly not off to a good start here! Now that you have read that, a lot of you are probably wondering, since I bashed "Chicken Little" so much as opposed to all the other entries on this list, why do I only have it as #2? Well, I hate to say it, but times have changed, and nowadays, there is one movie in the canon that appears to be getting even more hate than "Chicken Little"! What is it? Well, let's find out...
The #1 most disliked Disney Animated Feature is...
#1 - Wish (2023)
That's right, the newest entry in the canon! I have never in my entire life seen a movie in the Disney Animated Canon that got as much hate as this movie! It's just truly unbelievable how negative the reception is! Critics were harsh on it, audiences were harsh on it, and needless to say, it was a financial flop. In fact, most people are going as far to say that this is a movie that nobody is allowed to like! It really is a shame too because this was supposed to be an ambitious project of Disney's made to celebrate their 100th anniversary, and the way they were promoting it was really getting people to believe that it was going to be another masterpiece. The problem is in most people's eyes, it seemed the movie was focusing a lot more on references and nods to previous Disney movies than it was on the story. There were a lot of characters who weren't very likable, some of the songs were forgettable, and many of the events that occurred just left a lot of question marks in people's heads. Well, call my opinion unpopular, but I'm actually one of the few people in the world who actually loved this movie, and as long as I enjoyed it, that's all that matters, right? And for those of you who disagree with me, all I'm going to say is go fly a kite! (And yes, that was a reference to "Mary Poppins".) It was amazing to see how Pixar's "Elemental" ended up becoming an underdog story, but it's sad that the same didn't happen to "Wish". Things may change overtime, but as of right now, based on how I'm hearing things from the universal opinion, I'm going to have to say that "Wish" currently stands as quite possibly the most hated movie in the Disney Animated Canon.
