List Of Disney Theatrical Animation

Walt Disney Logo

The following is a list of animated feature films produced or released by The Walt Disney Company or its predecessor, Walt Disney Productions. The lists have been broken down categorically by sub-studio, etc.
Walt Disney Studios began work on animated short films in 1923. Then, in 1937, the studio released its first feature-length animated film with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and has continued to produce shorts, featurettes, and feature films to this day. Throughout the years, the studio has expanded its reach. Between collaborating with other studios to co-produce films to The Walt Disney Company distributing animated features produced by other companies, Walt Disney Studios no longer produces all their animated content under the Disney banner.

Animated films produced by Disney-owned studios

Walt Disney Animation Studios

The following is a list of the animated films that were either entirely produced in-house by Walt Disney Productions prior to 1986, or were produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, formerly known as Walt Disney Feature Animation, after 1986.^[1]

For advertising purposes, The Walt Disney Company began to affix numbers to each of the films in the late 1980s.^{[citation needed]} Through this method, they could proclaim the film to be "Disney's nth full-length animated film". When the numbering system was introduced, the group of films included became collectively known as the "Disney Animation Canon."^{[citation needed]} Many film historians and animation fans refer to them as Disney "classics" or Disney "features." The numbering system remains today, as recent press releases for such products as the 20th anniversary edition of Oliver & Company,^[2] as well as the opening and closing logos and marketing materials for Tangled,^[3] still refer to the film's number.^[4] Some foreign numbering systems of Disney Animated Classics exclude Dinosaur and include The Wild.^[5] However, The Wild was not produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Notes:

1. ^ ^{a b c d e f g h i} These are "package films", releases made up of two or more short films with bridging sequences. Though some consider the package films to be only the six consecutive package films of the 1940s (numbers 6–11 above), the definition used here also includes both Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. Inclusion of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is unique since it contains three previously released featurettes.
2. ^ ^{a b c d e f g h i} These films contain live-action scenes and/or sequences.
3. ^ Lady and the Tramp was photographed simultaneously in both the regular Academy format and in CinemaScope. Both versions were released at the same time.
4. ^ ^{a b} These two films were shot in the 70 mm Super Technirama process. Reduced 35 mm CinemaScope-compatible prints were released at the same time as the 70 mm versions.
5. ^ ^{a b c d} These films were released or re-released in IMAX format in addition to their regular theatrical releases.
6. ^ ^{a b c d e f g h} These films were also released or re-released in a Disney Digital 3-D limited cinema version.
7. ^ ^{a b c d e f g} These films are computer-animated films.
8. ^ Film is not yet released. Release date subject to change.

Main article: Studio Ghibli

In 1996, Disney signed a deal with Tokuma Shoten for distribution rights to the theatrical works of Studio Ghibli world-wide (excluding Asia except for Japan and Taiwan and excluding Grave of the Fireflies which was not published by Tokuma), including what then was the most recent film, Princess Mononoke. The deal later grew to include DVD rights and newer Ghibli movies - the English language release of Spirited Away won the 2001, 2002 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Studio Ghibli remains wholly independent of Disney and maintains strict creative control over the handling of the foreign language localization Disney produces.^[22] All of the theatrical Ghibli back catalog originally included in the deal have since been released to DVD in North America (except Only Yesterday) and several other countries. The following films were given theatrical releases outside Japan by Disney and subsidiaries:
