Every Disney Movie Tie-In Video Game Ranked From WORST To BEST

[@TeamTripleJump]

A WHOLE LOAD of Disney history included in this video! Which movie tie-in from the House of Mouse is your personal favourite? 🎮🐭

[@therealevo88]

Bugs life and hercules on ps1 were some of my favourite

I’d say a tie between The Lion King and Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue

[@ergki]

Toy Story 3

[@michaelanderson6394]

I am here for multi-hour videos of Ben and Peter talking about video games in a specific category and ranking them from worst to best. I always like these videos, partly because I love seeing how deep some of these rabbit holes can go. Props to you and your team for the research!

[@i.m.g.infamousmusicgroup9575]

Yea, ashtons voice isn't necessarily the best for smooth and relaxed watching lmao

[@nathanbaca5131]

Toy Story 2 on the N64 was my childhood. Such a fun game. That first level just exploring Andy's house was so fun. Especially the attic and basement.

[@Fu9280]

I did Disney extreme skating 🙄😬Tony hawks was much superior

[@eddiehimself]

The interesting thing about the Toy Story 2 game is that the CD storage of the PS1 allowed that version to have clips from the film, whereas the N64 version just had static screens with text explaining the inbetween bits of the plot. Also, I think the PS1 version had pre-recorded background music while the N64 used MIDI.

[@Fu9280]

This has always been Nintendo problem? Trying to be different using cartridges or smaller discs such as gamevube made life hell..the ps2 had at least dvd compatability while a bigger disc left more space.. Honestly smh I can't get the dust from my wii as...it doesn't even have a disc closing feature!!

[@Fu9280]

Oh yeah this was also the same problem with bugs life compared to n64 vs ps1

[@TheKiwiDragon]

Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue not making the Top 10 is practically a cardinal sin. And Monsters Inc: Scare Island failing to crack the Top 50, The Incredibles failing to crack the Top 40, and Cars failing to crack the Top 30 all hurt my inner child to varying degrees.

[@ChristopherPin]

I grew up with all them games you just mentioned except the buzz lightyear year game

[@sensualsquelch]

I literally was about to comment that Toy Story 2 better be top 5 but now I see it wasn’t 😭😭 literally despicable

[@TheKiwiDragon]

​@@ChristopherPindefinitely worth seeking it out! Very impressive for a 1999 game, and the music is fantastic! Probably my favourite licensed video game, followed closely by Spider-Man 2.

[@TheKiwiDragon]

​@@sensualsquelchit was my first ever video game, so it pained me not to see it in the Top 10, let alone the Top 5. 😢

[@albajos1976]

Pixar wasn't bought by Disney before 2006, so either of them shouldn't be on the list at all.

[@SW-dr4tr]

That Aladdin game for super Nintendo was such a good part of my childhood

[@totallyirreversible]

I love that this video might as well be "games I played for 2 levels before I gave up after realizing I didn't have the hand eye coordination to play games yet" incredibly thorough list, mad respect. I'd forgotten about half these including the ones I sunk dozens of hours into when I was like 7

[@littlesewingmachine]

Shocked by "Hercules" and "Tarzan" expecting to find them both waaaays higher. They were huge blasts.

[@KimberlySchwartz1]

Hercules is on steam and I still play it from time to time! It seriously holds up!!

[@hypan0vaULTRA]

@KimberlySchwartz1 I absolutely agree. I first played a demo of the game on the demo 1 disc that came with the PS1 back in 96 and I've been hooked on it ever since. it's a hell of a sidescroller collect-a-thon that will continuously stand the test of time imo.

[@Bomtoutwood]

The Soundtrack in that Bugs Life game is mind blowingly good.

[@StudioInkblot]

As someone who barely remembers The Wild exists, the description sounds like a fever dream by someone who half remembers Madagascar

[@classycasual3910]

Thanks @writingLiz for the awesome script! Keep up the great work🎉

[@Fu9280]

You both are so charming, well done for making this, you have a critcal eye yet still appreciate the classics from say, 1990s but without nostalgia basis Thank you Ben and Peter! Youve given me a so many laughs❤ And wishing you a warm welcoming 2025❤

[@TheRealSwood]

Love seeing Tron Arcade so high on the list. I used to frequent a "retrocade" where you paid a flat fee to enter and there were tons of classic arcade games that were either on free play or had some kind of workaround for the coin slots. You paid the fee and could play games for as long as you like until they closed. I would play their Tron cabinet at least once every time I went. The light cycle game was always my favorite.

[@doormatt72]

this is a tremendous amount of effort to put this together. well done! we appreciate it!

[@PixarShark]

1:42:09 - ……..Y’all, that is LITERALLY King’s Quest 1. 😂 It looks like they actually just altered and recolored some things to make them the Black Cauldron characters and just dropped them back into a King’s Quest game. Same layout and everything. Did Sierra help make it???

[@WigWoo1]

Number 18 Buzz lightyear 2 was also on the Dreamcast. That's what I grew up with

[@7snap]

The replayability of your videos shows the depth and professionalism you put into your productions. I would personally like to see a combination of formats, like years in gaming and Disney everything to create Disney years, worst to best. Losing his character in 1928 would be a good worst starting year, and Herbie would be everywhere on that list. Thanks for your hard work.

[@Ronaldomartinsapc]

I just love these huge Rank Videos from TJ. The PUns, the dry wit. I´ve watched all of them and will watch all that will come.

[@JennyLDN]

Well done @WritingLiz you absolutely smashed this list - what an effort! 🚀

[@J-Dawg81]

I'm sorry but 37:30 Disney's first foray into sci fi? 20,000 leagues, Tron? There were several before Atlantis ;)

[@csmadisun]

VERY glad to see Tron 2.0 get so much love. Great game. Shame it's such a bugger to get running these days...

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

Not sure why anyone criticised the backgrounds in Pocahontas on the Mega Drive, because the background looks fantastic some of the best graphics on the system which isn’t surprising as it was a very late release for the console.

[@andrewwolf1903]

Tron 2.0 looks awesome!

[@csmadisun]

If you can get it working properly, it's pretty awesome, yeah. Much more in-line with the original film visually than the actual sequels., a fun take on upgrading stats, some neat weapons... oh, and the main female character is voiced by Rebecca Romijn, which is neat.

[@devinloew7681]

Thank you for unlocking my childhood memory playing Timone and Pumba's Jungle Games

[@HighFive212]

I had to get my mom to rent Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue twice from blockbuster. I love that game, it felt huge at the time!

[@BeaverIAB]

Great list! Hopefully we can watch a similar Dreamworks tie-in game list before long

[@jamesleyba1854]

Thanks!

[@Bakuru]

Funny, Emperor's New Groove was actually the first game I ever had for the PS1. It was actually really fun 🤣 I'm surprised it was so low. I enjoyed it more than the next 10 games above it LOL Also, Toy Story 2 being outside top 5 is insane 😳 it's the only game on here I know for a fact people STILL play to this day 💯

[@keness4768]

Same here. A hidden gem and even with the david spade sound alike, the humor had me rolling.😂

[@SoManyHaystacks]

I really dig the video and i know this would made it WAY longer and a lot more work, but there's part of me that wishes the different versions were ranked seperatly if they were different enough. Handheld and console versions particularly come to mind.

[@zachhatten261]

They do separate them if they are significantly different enough. Most of the time though the handheld is just a pared down version of the console one. But cases like in the Lego list where the handheld is a completely different game, they count it separately.

[@logan_cadfgs]

Good thing, though - Had they played Toy Story 2 for Gameboy for any real length of time, they would’ve immediately called the whole thing off

[@michaelhoodlebrink8995]

Still hoping for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Star Trek games ranking video one of these days. One day.

Ooh yes please for Star Trek

[@nickwheeler5396]

I'm surprised that the Peter Pan: Return to Neverland for the PS1 didn't make the list

[@barrywallace2744]

Because that was a straight to video release, and did not recieve a theatrical release.

[@linedterror2]

That Black Cauldron game was designed by Al Lowe (the creator of Leisure Suit Larry) while he was at Sierra. I could tell it was one of their games immediately just from the UI.

[@ridensroom6957]

My parents got me the mega drive with Aladdin and Sonic 2. That was a perfect gift

I love these lists, but I really hate how many cheap PC titles made it to the end because the rating system was flawed.

[@Little1Cave]

I for one am confused as to why some mini game collections made it in, but not others. I remember the Tarzan, Atlantis, and Toy Story ones in particular, but alas they didn’t make it. But the Timon & Pumbaa and Hunchback of Notre Dame games apparently count. Lol

[@Runningthesteadyrace]

Avoiding knives and other sharp objects trown at you while listening to "Be our guest" sound pretty paradox. 🤣

[@OmegaEnvych]

Really nice video. There was however one game missing in the list (If I didn't missed anything) - The Pirates of the Carribean (2003, PC, Xbox). This game is weird, because it's the game that was published, of all companies, by Bethesda and developed by russian company Akella. However game has little to no semblance to the movie - player takes control of the captain whatshisface and as France attacks English colony, tries to figure out some misteries that happen in the fictional archipelago. Game, unfortunately, has no Jack Sparrow or other characters, although has few positives - for its time game has fantastic looking sea and incredibly detailed ships and had fairly competent ship-to-ship combat. Although melee combat was kinda janky. There is a reason for that. In 2000 Akella has released well received game Sea Dogs that was more or less 3D remake of the old classic Sid Meier's Pirates! (6 years before actual Sid Meier's Pirates! got proper remake) - player had entire archipelago, few nations to join, quests to do, ships to buy or raid, crew to hire, officers to get. And Akella was making its sequel when Bethesda approached them and suggested to change title and make game tie-in with Pirates of the Carribean license. Main issue of the game - open world barely exists and consists of only 6 islands, there is basically nothing to do aside of following story and upgrading your ship and, well, there is only one element that ties game to the movie - Isla de Muerte and Black Pearl that will work as final boss of the game - once player has destroyed this ship, game is over.

[@cyqry]

I scrubbed through the video to see if this was mentioned after seeing a few other Pirates games being in there. My only guess for it not being included is that, despite having the name, its not actually a tie-in and has basically no connection to the film, hell if I recall its some 80 years before the events of the film (or was it after?). Also Isla De Muerte isn't in the game, it was a different island with an Inca Temple on it, though I suppose you could consider the cursed chest of gold you're told to deliver to be a nod to the films though its never really delved into beyond the cursed pirates fighting you for it even though this would be far too early for the movie's cursed pirates. The engine used to make Sea Dogs and the POTC game is actually open-source now after the huge amount of people who modded POTC made clear to the last remnants of Akella that they wanted more content. Another game, Sea Dogs: City of Abandoned Ships, was developed using the engine and now the person who technically owns the IP (Sea Dogs that is, not POTC) and all its assets is making a remake. Its actually a pretty big thing in the modding community and people are all for it. Apparently he wants to release all the games as a bundle but can't include POTC due to Disney owning the license, it wouldn't be that difficult to remove the references but if I recall in a podcast he said that it would be bordering on impossible to actually get in touch with Disney's lawyers to figure out a deal.

[@JulioAnt2000]

Honestly I really love the bug’s life video game. The environments are really interesting and is probably one of my favorite video game ost of all time. If it was ever possible I wish it could get a remastering. It would look so good with updated graphics as well as a fixed camera and controls.

[@andrewwolf1903]

2:42:41 #4 Timon & Pumbas Jungle games also has the dubious honor of being last SNES game. Not sure it was released on super Famicom

[@richardlawrence3335]

Tron the arcade game is also a bonus feature of the GBA version of TRON 2.0 killer app. The stacking game in Pumba and Timon's Jungle games is more like Puyo Puyo than Tetris.

Amazing video, love it.

[@MrJechgo]

I know you said the equivalent of "no Touchstone Picture movie", but... The Nightmare Before Christmas kinda counts as a Disney movie, especially after it appeared TWICE in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. I aslo kept researching and... that movie is 99% tied to Disney, from the conception to the producers to the soundtrack. So... where would you ranked both the GBA and PS2 games, both from Konami? The GBA is a 2D Metroidvania, acting as a prequel to the movie, while the PS2 is an action game, using the 3D Castlevania engine, acting as a sequel. BTW, it was released under Touchstone Pictures, ONLY because Disney feared that the movie was "too dark" for its kid-friendly catalogue. I mean, yeah, the imagery can be a bit scary, but not to the point of making children cry... right ^^; ? I'm sorry, but... it was probably on the same level of scariness as Snow White's dark forest scene, The Black Cauldron's entire premise and Fantasia's Night on Bald Mountain.

[@TyphonJRT]

Neither of the those games were made Konami. The PS2 in particular was made by Capcom and is a Devil May Cry clone.

[@spearmintpony7105]

Every Touchstone movie is 100% Disney as it was created by Disney as division for more mature movies. Meanwhile, Pixar wouldn't become a subsidiary of Disney until around 2006.

Two notes: my husband and I watched this together and I made a joke that a Black Cauldron game would exist because everyone hated the movie (we like it). I was shocked when I saw there really was a video game. Secondly, I owned a Sega Genesis and Aladdin (my favorite movie ❤) and loved it. My husband owned a SNES and had Aladdin. I told him I knew that the Sega version was clearly superior after seeing the SNES version that he still thought was better. Now I have substantial proof of its superiority. I was waiting patiently the whole video for where that specific game would place. Thank you.
