* NewerThanTheyThink: The idea of a Disney Animated Canon is relatively new and was mostly conceived during the rise of home media for marketing purposes. Around the time of ''The Fox and the Hound'', the films on the poster leading up to it was the first time there was a sense of unity to the franchise, and around the release of ''The Black Cauldron'', marketed as Disney's twenty-fifth animated feature, was when the lineup was set.

** There are 62 films. It takes a full day to watch all 19 of the Creator/WaltDisney-era films alone (''Snow White'' to ''The Jungle Book'') and over 80 hours, or more than three days without sleep, to watch all 62 consecutively. Add on other Disney films which partially feature their animation, [[note]]These films being ''Film/TheReluctantDragon'', ''Film/SongOfTheSouth'', ''Film/SoDearToMyHeart'', ''Film/MaryPoppins'', ''Film/BedknobsAndBroomsticks'', ''Film/PetesDragon1977'', ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', and ''{{Film/Enchanted}}''.[[/note]], ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'', ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'', and maybe all the Creator/{{Pixar}} films, and you'll take even longer. Good luck.

* CultClassic: ''WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound'', ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'', ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'', ''WesternAnimation/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'', and ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' are the big ones, while ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'', ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'', ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'' ([[WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder and its sequel]]), ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'', ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'', ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad'', and ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange'' also have some rather rabid fanbases. ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' ''used'' to be this, but then they became VindicatedByHistory. Also, ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'' is one among the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom.

*** ''The Rescuers'' was also a huge hit in France, and grossed more money there than even ''[[Film/StarWarsANewHope Star Wars]]'' of all films. It's still beloved there, thanks to the top notch vocal performances of Creator/RogerCarel (Bernard) and Creator/PerrettePradier (Madame Medusa). There was even a 25th anniversary reunion featurette on the 2002 DVD in France.

* ToughActToFollow: These movies have left such a massive cultural impact and legacy that nearly every follow-up to them that Disney's produced over the decades has been stuck in its predecessor's shadow. The most notable example is in what the popular consensus is on Disney's run of live-action remakes released from the early-2010s onward (outside of the much more polarized reputation that they have online) -- which is that they retell the story of their classic source materials sufficiently, with critics and audiences generally considering their casts, visual effects, and soundtracks to be good, but also fail to live up to the animated originals.[[note]]The closest remake so far to be seen as both a good movie on its own ''and'' absolutely necessary is ''Film/TheJungleBook2016'', and while ''Cinderella (2015)'' was very well-received, even its fans don't think it entirely fulfills the second criteria. If you count ''Film/PetesDragon2016'' as part of the lineup, it's the only remake to have a higher [=IMDb=] score than its original counterpart.[[/note]]

* VindicatedByHistory: ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'', ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', and ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'', were all commercial disasters when first released. ''Fantasia'' and ''Sleeping Beauty'' were both critical flops as well when first released, a far cry to now be considered some of the best animated films period. Later movies like ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'', ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' would all get much better reception than when they were originally released.

** You'll find fans who only love the Walt-era films, fans who love the xerox period (which goes from ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' to ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'' —- although some fans classify the latter film and [[WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron the two]] [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective before it]] as an entirely different period), fans who love the Renaissance era films and view most of the older ones as {{Narm}}y, and even fans who love the earlier Renaissance films but don't care much for the later half. And then, of course, you have fans who judge each film based on its own merits.
