The series was followed by Disney's Greatest, a three-volume compilation series released in 2001 and 2002. The series was very similar to Classic Disney and although each volume featured many of the same songs, only 20 songs appeared on each volume as opposed to Classic Disney's 25. In addition to containing only 20 songs, the Disney's Greatest compilations also contained songs from films released from 1999 - 2002, after the Classic Disney compilations were released.

The Melbourne Age called the collection "pure joy", saying that "the Disney policy of hiring quality songwriters and the best voicing talent has produced top-drawer popular songs that stand the test of time."[1]

The Palm Beach Post said that "the set covers an amazing bit of ground," and gave "credit to the producers for including some harder-to-find material."[2]
