The lowest rated Disney film on Rotten Tomatoes is Chicken Little? Do you agree that it's the worst of the bunch? What would you have as your lowest rated Disney film on your list?

I have zero desire to watch Chicken Little. I watched, like, the first five minutes earlier this year and couldn't bring myself to sit through the rest.
I'd say the lowest rated Disney movie is Home on the Range or Robin Hood. Robin Hood is pretty boring.

Home on the Range is my lowest rated Disney movie as well. I disliked the story line and hated the voice acting. It was almost torture to listen to Rosanne Bar for an hour and a half

I liked Chicken Little quite a bit. I though it and the characters were super cute.
Honestly, Home on the Range and Cars should be the lowest for me. Haha!

Quite frankly I am amazed it is not Disney's Planes!

Quite frankly I am amazed it is not Disney's Planes! Actually Planes isn't all that bad. I find the story line cute. A crop duster plane wants to race with the racing planes and works hard to get there. While the storyline is cute it just felt like it should have been a direct to video film rather than a big theatre production. |

Planes was planned as a direct to DVD feature, but Disney had a hole in their theatrical lineup in 2013 and they felt confident about Planes, so they gave it a theatrical release. And it met their expectations. I haven't seen the second one yet, but I did see the first with my nephew and enjoyed it. For what it is, it's just fine. And Disney does not consider it as part of the feature animation films. It's on par with the Tinker Bell films. My four year old nephew adores Dusty Crophopper, but more importantly, my sister watches the with him and enjoys them. Is Planes Beauty and the Beast or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs? No, but it's also much better than Shark Tale.
My lowest rated Disney film would be Pocahantas. While I think the animation is beautiful, that applies in all Disney films. So I move on to the story. My issue with the story is that it sets up John Smith and Pocahantas very similar to how they set up Eric and Ariel, the Beast and Belle, and Aladdin and Jasmine. But in real life, there was no such romantic relationship as John Smith's accounts of Pocahantas' age place her between 10 years old and 13 years old. In this case, Disney tried to make a love story where there was none in real life and still keep the "romantic" leads apart at the end of the film. So while they make the story feel like the next great Disney love story, the inevitable separation leaves me with a bitter aftertaste.
While I understand the desire to tell a story that is not in the vein of what Disney did before, that's where Pocahantas failed. The movie tried to not be the usual Disney love story, but unfolded exactly like every other Disney love story before the separation. Would we love Beauty and the Beast as much if Belle never came back? Would we love The Little Mermaid if Ariel turned into sea foam?
In my opinion, a much better example of telling a nontraditional Disney story would be The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
I honestly still do not understand why Disney thought Pocahantas would be better film than The Lion King.

I will have to say Chicken Little is the worst. Also Home on the Range is a very close contender.
