Top 10 Most Controversial Disney Movies of All Time

The Top Ten

  1. Mulan (2020)

    Was shamelessly filmed in close proximity to a number of Islamophobic concentration camps in China. It made things worse by openly thanking the government of the province responsible for those camps in the film's credits.

  2. Song of the South

    Song of the South is so controversial that it's actually been banned in the U.S. It raises the question of why people are more forgiving of Gone with the Wind, which treads similar waters and also features Hattie McDaniel. If anything, Gone with the Wind glorified slavery even more than Song of the South did.

    This is the Disney movie so controversial that Disney has gone out of its way to make everyone forget it ever existed.

    I almost feel like you can begin and end this list with Song of the South. Even Disney seems largely embarrassed by it.

  3. Peter Pan

    This movie is extremely controversial nowadays due to the horrible and racist depiction of Indigenous Peoples of North America.

  4. Dumbo

  5. The Black Cauldron

  6. Aladdin

  7. Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World

  8. Who Framed Roger Rabbit

  9. Alice in Wonderland

  10. Lady and the Tramp

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing

  12. ?

    Make Mine Music

    13. The Contenders

  13. The Lone Ranger (2013)

    Thank God Disney never changed Big Thunder Mountain into this travesty of a movie.

  14. Savage Sam

    This movie glorifies genocide against Indigenous peoples. I'm surprised it hasn't received the same treatment as Song of the South.

  15. The Three Caballeros

  16. Planes

    Every single character in this movie is a painfully unfunny racial stereotype.

  17. Pocahontas

  18. Mr. Magoo

    It makes a mockery of the nearsighted and the elderly, and the "comedy" isn't even that funny.

  19. The Aristocats

    Who thought that Chinese Siamese cat was a good idea?

  20. Bambi

  21. Frozen

  22. The Hunchback of Notre Dame

  23. Ralph Breaks the Internet

    Not terrible! This is my favorite animated movie for one reason and one reason only: 2 words - Rick-Roll.

  24. The Little Mermaid

  25. Fantasia

    It used to be a lot more racist thanks to one particular character.

  26. Melody Time

    This movie is right up there with Peter Pan in terms of frightening racism.

    The Pecos Bill segment has sadly not aged well.

  27. The Rescuers
