The following is a list of animated
feature film
s 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 hence 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. Their most recent film, Winnie the Pooh, released in 2011, marks the studio's 51st feature-length animated film.
prior to 1986, or were produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, formerly known as Walt Disney Feature Animation, after 1986.
For advertising purposes, The Walt Disney Company
began to affix numbers to each of the films in the late 1980s. Through this method, they could proclaim the film to be "Disney's X full-length animated film". When the numbering system was introduced, the group of films included became collectively known as the "Disney Animation Canon." 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
, as well as the opening and closing logos and marketing materials for Tangled, still refer to the film's number. Some foreign numbering systems of Disney Animated Classics exclude Dinosaur
and include The Wild
. However, The Wild was not produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios nor Disney in general for that matter.
It has been confirmed that Mickey Mouse and King of the Elves are also in development.
