The Wild

Another film that according to Ultimate Disney.com (http://www.dvdizzy.com/thewild.html) was not made by Disney. Shouldn't it not be on the list, or is Ultimate Disney wrong? Web wonder (talk) 03:40, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Air Bud?

According to Ultimate Disney's review (http://www.dvdizzy.com/airbud.html) the first Air Bud was distributed by Disney and aquired by its Miramax branch after being produced without Disney by Keystone Pictures. Is this true and if so, should Air Bud not be on the list? Web wonder (talk) 20:02, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Change Blue Colour

Please, change the blue colour. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabypixar (talk • contribs) 10:19, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd be interested to see a list of all animated films by disney. How about adding a second article with only those? Peter S. 17:37, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Anon user: Please stop adding unreleased films to the list, and stop adding "DTV" to the direct-to-video headings. tregoweth 02:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

DTVS are not notable

I find this to be rather contradictory. Not all of the theatrical releases are listed, however DTVs are listed. DTVs are not notable. Casey14 00:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

also where is return of jafar! and lion king 2 etc etc etc —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.253.77 (talk) 03:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Those were removed as they were not feature films. SpikeJones (talk) 03:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

What you mean by there were not 'feature films'? Probably you want to say there were not 'Theatrical Release', but were 'Direct To Home'(DTH) Video. 203.200.95.130 (talk) 07:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

This article is not about DTH video. This article is about theatrical releases. The opening paragraph also states "notable", of which DTH films are not. SpikeJones (talk) 14:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Future Releases

May I suggest that the future releases be made into a table. It looks a little cluttered as is. SWatsi (talk) 23:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Studio Ghibili

You asked Do Studio Ghibili films count.. Are we counting everything released to cinema by Walt Disney Pictures? Per the opening paragraph, this page is for films that were theatrically released AND produced by Disney. If the Studio Ghibili films were only distributed by Disney, then they should not appear on this list. SpikeJones (talk) 14:39, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Correct. Could open a can of worms. How do we know what Walt Disney Pictures had an actual hand in. In this case, I understand it that the Studio Ghibili films were not produced or co-produced by Walt Disney Pictures. BUT they have had to be redubbed since those are primarily Japanese, and I think this is done by Disney people. So how much of a hand does WDCompany need to have had in that movie.
Strictly speaking a lot of those films have little involvement from Pictures...SWatsi (talk) 23:23, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I have researched and removed the Studio Ghibili films from this list as they were NOT produced by Disney, only distributed. For your question, use Pixar as an example. The early Pixar films appear on this list not because Disney distributed them, but because Disney helped produce them by providing staff and dollars to help create and finance the film (some say upwards of 50% of the cost of TS was covered by Disney). Overdubbing is not producing, as it has nothing to do with the film creation process. SpikeJones (talk) 16:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Draw the line there then. Might be an idea to add that as a note somewhere.SWatsi (talk) 20:04, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

TR2N

TR2N has not been announced as being in official production mode, despite the rumors that are flying around. Until there is a citable, unbiased reference from Disney, TR2N will be removed from this list. (This goes for other films as well, of course. But that should go without saying). Verifiable citations, folks. That's all we're asking. SpikeJones (talk) 14:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

List of Disney live-action films

Resolved

I see that there is a suggestion to fuse two articles about Disney features. If so, I wouldn't mind if the movies were listed by years instead of letters. That's how the list of animated features is arranged. 80.202.40.85 (talk) 12:02, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I am beginning the process of moving items from List of Disney live-action films over to this page. As such, that other page will have items removed as they are confirmed to exist over here, ultimately leaving that page devoid of info and its eventual deletion. If you have objections to this (as the merge tag has been posted for a while), then please speak up in the next 12 hours or so. Thx. SpikeJones (talk) 03:23, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Page merge completed. SpikeJones (talk) 14:51, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Future Releases

I've been thinking that the future releases section might be clearer if it was formatted like the other sections, so I quickly mocked it up. Any use? Good idea? Yay or nay?

Year of Release	Film Name	Co-Production with?
2008	Bolt	Walt Disney Animation Studios
2008	Bedtime Stories	co-production with Gunn Films and Happy Madison
unannounced	The Lone Ranger - (based on The Lone Ranger)	co-production with Jerry Bruckheimer Films

SWatsi (talk) 23:18, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Question on American Legends (1954)

I am collecting these films, but could not find any reference to “American Legends” (1954). I found at IMDB.com a packaged film (video release) titled “Disney's American Legends″ from year 2001, with old and new (post 1954) animated shorts, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0372866 . I don't think it is the same thing. Anyone can give me any light of what this listed film was about? Any bibliography or reference? Thx! Rodulfo (talk) 05:42, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Change made. Nobody complaint for this deletion ;-) Rodulfo (talk) 19:21, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

more cleanup needed...

Any takers on wanting to help cleanup List of Walt Disney and Buena Vista video releases with me? That page is a glorified mess. SpikeJones (talk) 22:04, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

"The Rescuers Spain the On"?

I was a bit confused to see that someone had posted info on a potential third installment in the "Rescuers" series, entitled, "The Rescuers Spain the On" (whatever THAT means). They also rumored an "Oliver & Company II" (which they apparently misspelt as "Oilver & Company II". Does anyone know if these are actually TRUE? --Okapi7 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Okapi7 (talk • contribs) 23:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

No they are not SWatsi (talk) 00:09, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Lion King 2 and Lion King 1 1/2

What about Lion King 2 and Lion King 1 1/2? Are they not Disney films. Parker1297 (talk) 19:20, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

They are not "feature" films, theatrically released. They were direct-to-video. SpikeJones (talk) 03:09, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Discussion Regarding Disney Film List Clean-Up

For discussions regarding the over-arching clean-up of the various Disney animated film lists, please see this WikiProjects page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Disney/Animated Film Article Cleanup. Please add any discussion regarding same there for the time being. Thank you. Jvsett (talk) 04:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Touchstone or not?

At the top, the list says it is a compilation of Disney Productions and its successor labels, Touchstone and Disney Pictures. Down the line, it says the list does not include imprints such as Touchstone. Which is it, and which films should be included in the list? Liquidluck (talk) 21:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Thx for pointing that out. SpikeJones (talk) 03:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Just to clarify, SpikeJones removed Touchstone, this list is for anything Walt Disney Pictures, and anything from Walt Disney Productions. Touchstone pictures has a seperate list List of films released by Touchstone Pictures. As a side thought it might be useful to provide a link to the other lists such as this somewhere for clarification? So it's easier for people to find the correct list? SWatsi (talk) 15:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I added the link to the See also section. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 15:18, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Trollhunters

Disney double dares you's trollhunters has been annouced for the future why has it ben taken off when i put it on with refrences??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.206.180.6 (talk) 06:54, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I looked at the source info, and so far it appears reasonable. I'm trying to find something official that confirms everything Disney announced at the D23 Expo to see if this is on the up-and-up. Any other thoughts on this one? --McDoobAU93 (talk) 13:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

order of films from the same year?

I realize this list organizes the films by what year they were released in, but in what order are films released the same year organized? It doesn't seem to be release date order and it's definitely not alphabetical order. Web wonder (talk) 09:35, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Pixar films

At the top of the article, it says "If Walt Disney Productions did not or will not produce the film and only distributed it, the film will not be included on this list."

Doesn't that mean that Toy Story and all the other Pixar films shouldn't be included because Pixar produced them and Disney only distributed them?Web wonder (talk) 07:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

No, Disney provided financing, production assistance, and other for all Pixar films before the merger, with the exception of Ratatouille, which was Pixar's first production without Disney influence. But because the merger happened before that was released, it's a non-issue. SpikeJones (talk) 04:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Weren't Bedtime Stories, Around the World in 80 Days and the two Narnia films only distributed by Disney and not made by them? Weren't the last three actually made by Walden Media? In fact, the wikipedia articles for Around the World in 80 Days, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspien all say "Studio: Walden Media" and below that "Distributed by: Walt Disney Pictures". And if what you said is true, why is Pixar the only studio listed for "Studio" on the ''Toy Story'' page while Disney is only listed as "Distributed by"? If Disney provided production assistance, shouldn't they also be listed alongside Pixar under "Studio"? Web wonder (talk) 16:44, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Walden Media and Pixar films were co-productions, with the primary studio being listed on their respective film pages. The way the studios are listed is fine. SpikeJones (talk) 01:29, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Inspector Gadget 2

Inspector Gadget 1 is listed in 1999 but Inpsector Gadget 2 is missing. I looked at both movie's pages and they look like they were both distributed by Disney so why isn't Inspector Gadget 2 listed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.102.137.53 (talk) 22:43, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this page doesn't count direct-to-video sequels. Since Inspecter Gadget 2 is a direct-to-video sequel, it therefore wouldn't count for this page. Web wonder (talk) 06:02, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Literary Sources

Why is there no literary sources section for the 2000s, 2010s, and future releases sections? Surely, many of those films were based an pre-existing material. (Ex: Chronicles of Narnia, A Christmas Carol, Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, John Carter, The Avengers, etc.) ~ Jedi94 (talk) 18:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Is that section really necessary? Because while many of the films here are inspired from stories and fairy tales, there are many that aren't. And that would lead to some inconsistencies within the format of the list. Why not a section that represents each film's total gross instead?--GroovySandwich 03:06, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Also, see this for some literary sources (article's not in great shape and it uses IMDb as a primary source), if you find them to be a worthwhile inclusion to the article--GroovySandwich 05:22, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Frankly, I also don't think that the literary sources section is that necessary (in fact, it wasn't on here until recently). Editors who frequently contribute this page started that particular section without any prior discussion. As for including gross, I think that's even more unneccesary than the sources. The film's gross should just stay on each film's respective article, instead of being shown here (where it serves no real purpose). Rather, I'd just keep the tables displaying only the color code, year/date, title of the film, and studio credits. Nothing more, nothing less. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 18:45, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Agreed with Jedi94. What you're looking for is List of sources for Disney theatrical animated features, which really should be rewritten or merged in somewhere else. It seems a bit WP:OR for many films, but that's a different story for a different day. SpikeJones (talk) 23:54, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree about it being unnecessary, but should the article not be consistent? If so, the prior sources need to either be removed entirely or be added to the newer films. --Mickeytb (talk) 21:13, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Agreed with Mickeytb. The source material (whether literary or non-fictional) should either be completely removed or be kept and added to any other films that are missing it. Have we reached a consensus now? ~ Jedi94 (talk) 18:45, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Seems like it--GroovySandwich^Yum. 23:17, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

The Lone Ranger

Production was merely delayed, according to this article. A Disney exec even told the source that the movie is still a priority and that the project isn't dead; they just put it on hold for a time. --Ryanasaurus0077 (talk) 23:10, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

"The Lion King 3-D (re-release)"

Should this be removed as, according to the introduction, re-releases should not be included? --Mickeytb (talk) 21:07, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Done. That is quite correct, and has been taken care of. Thanks for the heads-up! --McDoobAU93 21:17, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Wait! Why is the Nightmare Before Christmas re-release on the 2006 section then? ~ Jedi94 (talk) 18:19, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Because it's a reissue by a different studio (never mind that the original distributor, Touchstone Pictures, is itself a Disney subsidiary). --Ryanasaurus007 (talk) 14:58, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

That said, it's still the same film as before, even if was upgraded to 3D. Is the change of studio significant enough to require the film to be listed twice? --McDoobAU93 15:19, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Well it is hard to say. The Nightmare Before Christmas 2006 re-release was the first time that the film was released as a Disney branded film, and unlike other films whose rights were purchased by Disney (for instance The Muppet Movie), Nightmare was always a Disney production and was only decided to be released under the Touchstone label during post-production because of specific reasons by the studio (similar to what happened with Roger Rabbit). Hard to say. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 11:29, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Actually, yes. Once on the Touchstone list (for the original release), and once on the Disney list (for the 3D version's initial release). --Ryanasaurus007 (talk) 21:04, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Numbering

Recently the films from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s section have been numbered. Why? There has not been any prior discussion about enacting this on all the charts, nor if its purpose is even necessary. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 18:27, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

The whole sequence is numbered. Georgia guy (talk) 23:01, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

My question remains unanswered. I still don't understand why they need to be numbered. Again, there hasn't been any discussion/agreement on this matter. Does it really serve a valuable purpose? ~ Jedi94 (talk) 21:17, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

The numbering seems completely random and as far as I'm aware, they don't represent anything significant. I don't think removing them would cause any real problems--GroovySandwich^Yum. 01:24, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

All right, I'll remove them right now then. I'll also add the rest of the other sources that are missing for the films 2000s and onwards. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 21:30, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Protection Level

I strongly believe that the protection level for this page be upgraded to Wikipedia: SEMI (Semi-protection). There have been numerous instances of edits that have been either nonconstructive or instances of vandalism. Many of these have been repeatedly done by unregistered users (those who are identified by IP address) and their edits have had to be undone. Does anyone else agree on the increased protection level? ~ Jedi94 (talk) 11:22, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Upcoming Steven Spielberg films

Aren't Steven Spielberg's upcoming films War Horse, Lincoln, and Robopocalypse being released by the Walt Disney Group? Should they be on the list? Lacon432 (talk) 02:03, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I looked up all three films and saw that Touchstone Pictures is handling the distribution as part of the long-term deal signed by DreamWorks for Touchstone to distribute their films. As this is being distributed by Touchstone and not Walt Disney Pictures, these films do not belong in this list, per the lead paragraph in the article. --McDoobAU93 15:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Marvel Studios & Paramount

There seems to be a mini edit war going on with how co-production companies are listed on a number of the upcoming Marvel Studios releases, including next year's The Avengers, along with future releases Iron Man 3 and Thor 2. Various anon IPs keep adding Paramount as a co-producer, especially since their logo appears in the official trailer for Avengers. However, this source, which appeared in the article for Avengers, explains just why the logo is there and states that, aside from that, Paramount has no connection to the films. The same source specifically mentions the same deal is in effect for Iron Man 3. In fairness, the article does not mention Thor 2, although it does say "Marvel's films are fully owned by Disney and will be solely distributed and marketed by the Mouse House". So I'm hoping this puts to rest the persistent addition of Paramount Pictures as a co-producer to these films ... unless I'm reading this wrong, of course. --McDoobAU93 15:31, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Hayao Miyazaki

Should some of Hayao Miyazaki's films be on this list? Some of them have been released in the United States by the Walt Disney Company. I'm just asking to be sure. Lacon432 (talk) 17:09, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Per the lead paragraph of the article: "If Walt Disney Productions did not or will not produce the film and only distributed it, the film will not be included on this list." Since Miyazaki is producing the works and Disney is merely distributing them, they do not belong on this particular list. --McDoobAU93 17:19, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Another Dog-hero movie?

There's a movie I don't see on your list, unfortunately I don't remember the name so I can't confirm it should be on your list, but I'm almost positive it was a Disney movie, from the 60's or 70's. It is an animal-hero film, in which a dog is set to guard a covered wagon hidden in an abandoned mine or mill, as the owners go for help. While the owners are gone, coatimundi ruin much of the wagon's contents, and the dog is set upon by javelina (mean little desert pigs) and by bandits whom the dog later trees until the owners return. Most of the movie has a voice-over by one of those popular old "rustic-sounding" narrators. Forgive me if this isn't appropriate, but am I wrong about this movie? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laughingartist (talk • contribs) 12:13, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

You might be thinking of an episode from the long-running Wonderful World of Disney TV series instead of a theatrical feature. That said, a number of episodes of the TV series came from movies, but this doesn't sound like one of those. --McDoobAU93 16:01, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Planes - Pixar 2013

The Cars 2 Blu-Ray was released with a trailer for a new Pixar film "Planes". Release is Spring of 2013. No other details. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.154.210.199 (talk) 03:09, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Old news. story from June. Says that it is a direct-to-DVD, which means that it's not appropriate for this page. SpikeJones (talk) 03:16, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

(e/c)Actually there are plenty of details in our article for Planes. This will be a direct-to-video release, thus it won't belong on this list. --McDoobAU93 03:17, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Disney Animation Reliable

Was there a proof that Disney Animation Reliable source? This was used since 1994 after The Lion King and Hercules should be on the first list. However, they are three faulty pieces of info:

• 1. The Emperor's New Groove was released in 2000
• 2. Lilo & Stitch was released in 2002
• 3. The Princess and the Frog was re-released in 2009

— Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.190.0.11 (talk) 21:56, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

"Source" column

Both "Literary source" and "source" column, wouldn't it be better if it's renamed to "Based on" or "Inspired from"? It's clearer too, I wondered a bit as to what it meant before it hit me after looking at a few entries.--Krystaleen 04:04, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

I think I'm going to change it to "Inspired by". Any suggestion? Agree/disagree?--Krystaleen 16:43, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

After thinking about it some more I changed them to "Based on".--Krystaleen 09:16, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Another film not listed is the 1959 Walt Disney Productions feature film starring w/ Albert Sharpe, Janet Munro, Sean Connery and Jimmy O'Dea. There is a reason for this missing? --Kalamaster (talk) 09:31, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Unless I read something wrong, it's not missing. It's near the end of the 1950s chart, and it's been there for some time. I went back to a version two months old and it's there, too. I wouldn't rule out a vandal removing it when you previously saw it, but there's no recent vandalism involving Darby O'Gill that I've seen. --McDoobAU93 15:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

101 Dalmatians and The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Why aren't the original animated movies on this list?

Um, they are on it. --McDoobAU93 22:53, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

The Avengers

Given that The Avengers doesn't carry the Disney name, should it even be listed here? (I haven't seen it, so I don't know if there's a Disney copyright or something buried in the credits. Trivialist (talk) 20:42, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Regardless of whether it carries the Disney moniker, the film is still considered by its sources and press releases as a Walt Disney Pictures' release. The absence of any Disney logo is due to the marquee credit Paramount received when they transferred full rights to Disney. As a side note, the film does credit Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures as distributor. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 16:26, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

1952

I believe I recall seeing mention of the upcoming film 1952 on this list, but there's nothing there anymore and I don't see anything in the history. Perhaps I'm just crazy. Any reason this may have been removed? Not sure how to add it myself, but it seems this should be added to the list.

Formatting

The formatting of a couple of the tables really needs to be fixed. I'm not sure if I know how to fix it, or I'd do it myself. Alphius (talk) 04:30, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

The page does need some more TLC. Could you elaborate on what tables need to be fixed? ~ Jedi94 (talk) 23:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I think it might have been the last couple, but it looks like they're fixed now. Alphius (talk) 04:45, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Cool. Often times, the tables are accidentally messed up by someone during editing. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 17:29, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Sorting

Would there be a way to not use color to sort the types of movies, in accordance with the policy WP:COLOR? - Rebel shadow 00:31, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Resolved

The color-coded but sorting method was removed. It may be aesthetically pleasing, but its removal is in accordance with WP:COLOR, its apparent irrelevance and triviality (film definitions are better addressed in the films' respective articles instead of here). ~ Jedi94 (talk) 00:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Marvel Studios?

Why the heck is Marvel Studios releases included in this list? While they are the property of The Walt Disney Company, they are not Disney-branded (Walt Disney Pictures), but merely distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures just like any Touchstone Pictures release past and present. The fact that Buena Vista Pictures Distribution changed its name in 2007 to Walt Disnet Studios Motion Pictures may be the source of the confusion and inconcistency displayed on this page. My suggestion is to either remove the Marvel films, or to include all Disneynature, Touchstone, Hollywood Pictures, and Miramax Films (1993-2010). RicJac (talk) 00:19, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

The subject of including Marvel Studios films (The Avengers and onward) has been an ambiguous debate. At first glance, it would make sense to exclude them because they are not Disney-branded, altough there are third-party sources that mention Walt Disney Pictures in relation to the past two released Marvel films (Ex: Entertainment Weekly, ComingSoon, Movie Web, ComingSoon, etc.) In fact, they (along with Disneynature) are classified as part of the official Walt Disney Pictures' library at their offical website whereas Touchstone, Hollywood and Miramax films are not, and that's coming from the direct source.

My suggestion, which is one I hope satisfies editors on both sides is this: Include the Disney-released Marvel Studios films and the Disneynature films here but label them appropriately under their own "Type of film" category, such as is the case for True-Life Adventures. Here's what I mean:

Key to the colors used below

	Type of film
	Animated feature films (List)
	Films with live action and animation
	Live-action films
	True-Life Adventures / Disneynature
	Documentary films
	Marvel Studios
	TBA

What do you think? ~ Jedi94 (talk) 15:56, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

The inclusion of Disneynature is sensible as it is clearly "Disney-branded" by any standard.

With respect to Marvel, it is not as easy. It appears that some of the non-Disney affiliated sites confuse WDP and WDSMP. As for Disney themselves there is a sort of historical parallel to this: in the late 80's and early 90's when several PG-rated Touchstone titles were seen as hip, modern and successful etcetera: they were often bundled together with Disney titles, as can be seen in the special "Disney, 50 years of Magic".

The list from the Disney Archives is of course equally official: but its list include features from all the labels... But as the title of this article is List of Walt Disney Pictures film, the line has to be drawn somewhere while striking a balance between an inclusionist and an exclusionist approach.

My solution would be to exclude the non-Disney-branded Marvel features from the list, but to make a note mentioning that those titles while not WDP/Disney-branded proper are included on official Disney sites with proper WDP/Disney branded titles. If future Marvel titles starts to bear the Disney name, as has been announced for the upcoming Star Wars film, then they should be included here without question. RicJac (talk) 08:37, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

That's a well-rounded solution that I'm in full support of. Just to make sure we understand each other, the suggestion is that we have the list include only these titles: 1) Walt Disney Pictures "Disney-branded films" 2) Disneynature, 3) Any Marvel/Lucasfilm films that are Disney-branded and 4) Mention the non-Disney branded Marvel films like The Avengers. If that's so then I'll begin to make some edits. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 18:42, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

We're in broad agreement, with the exception of the non-Disney branded Marvel Studios feature films The Avengers and Iron Man 3. What I argued for in my previous post was an inclusion of those titles in a "Notes" section due to the connection on contemporary Disney public marketing webbpages, but not in the list itself. I think it is important in an encyclopedic context on the List of Walt Disney Pictures films to make the crucial distinction between The Walt Disney Company films as in "Disney branded content" and "Non-Disney branded content", or else it opens up a slippery slope of endless discussions with no end in sight. RicJac (talk) 14:09, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, I did make a footnote highlighting the difference. But, you are correct. I did add them back to the list, only because I found out (while I was editing) that Thor: The Dark World was not being co-branded by Disney in the recent marketing materials, despite that it was "supposedly" going to be the first Disney-Marvel branded film. So, I figured that listing all the non-Disney branded Marvel films in a footnote would be chaotic since all future Marvel Studios productions (whether they are owned by Disney or not), will not have the Disney moniker on them at all. In other words, unless Disney's marketing changes, the footnote will just be an endless list that'll grow in time. If it were just The Avengers and Iron Man 3 as the only two non-Disney branded Marvel films, then I would have followed your suggestion down to the tee. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 02:02, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

But having a note explaining the brand inconsistencies on the current website would not necessitate the inclusion of the Marvel titles (which as you succinctly point out, would be an ever-expanding task) in the list per se, but rather following the description of what content is not included in the list. Besides there are more inconsistencies and blurring of lines, both in the past and the present, with [Disney Movies On Demand http://www.youtube.com/user/DisneyMoviesOnDemand/videos?view=0], featuring the PG-rated Touchstone Pictures film Sister Act and the R-rated Hollywood Pictures film Deep Rising in a decidedly Disney-branded context. But I would never suggest that it makes them pseudo-Disney branded. And I don't really see the need to treat the Marvel Studios titles any differently than other non-Disney branded content, despite their current high-profile status.

I could go on with a longer list of the blurring the supposedly rigid lines of demarcation between Disney-branded and Non-Disney branded content: but my point is, ever as before, that this list should, to maintain a semblance of consistency, only list theatrical releases which openly bear the Disney name: i.e. "Walt Disney presents", "Walt Disney Productions", "Walt Disney Pictures", "Disneynature", but not non-Disney branded features which since 2007 bear the end titles credit "Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures". RicJac (talk) 07:52, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

The way you changed the footnote recently is fine by me. We'll leave it like that. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 19:23, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Of course 20% of people coming here will be looking for upcoming Marvel films as a part of this, e.g. looking for when Marvel films come out with respect to Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean. To suggest otherwise is lunacy. I watched Good Morning Vietnam two days ago and it had a massive Disney logo all over it - but apparently it's not on this list because it's not officially branded (or something) or maybe that's just on UK DVDs? I've only known of the Knightley "King Arthur" as Disney..? It matters because the new Star Wars films will be branded as Lucasfilm (and Bad Robot) not Disney so having those on the list and not the others is just silly. Kypzethdurron 08:13, 18th August 2013 (UTC)

Just to clear something up: According to an offical press release, the upcoming Star Wars films will be Disney-branded. They'll be released "under the Disney | Lucasfilm banner", similar to films released under the Disney·Pixar brand. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 20:04, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

If it matters, WDP is listed as the studio on things like Amazon Instant Video.

Walt Disney Pictures India

Since the acquisition of UTV Motion Pictures in India in 2012, Disney has been increasingly releasing Indian language films (mainly Hindi) under the Disney banner not only in India but internationally. The Walt Disney Company (India) is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company however the films are clearly released and marketed under an identical Disney logo e.g. see Khoobsurat (2014 film) and ABCD 2. The article states that "This list is only for theatrical films released under the Disney banner" however does not include any subsidiaries owned by Walt Disney Studios. It does however contain Pixar films and Walt Disney Animation Studios which are subsidiaries of The Walt Disney Company, which makes things confusing. On the 1st of October, an anonymous user with ip 65.129.93.104 removed my addition of the film ABCD 2 to the List of Walt Disney Pictures films page claiming "For the last time, that is not released by American Disney. It was released by Indian disney". The films Khoobsurat and Arjun: The Warrior Prince however are also released by Disney India and remain on the list however.

1. Which theatrical films of subsidiaries of Disney should be included in the list?
2. Should Indian language films produced by The Walt Disney Company globally should be included in the list?

Thanks koalajiv 01:45, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Theatrical films released on the under the Disney banner are the only ones that should be included on this list. In layman's terms, all theatrical films that are either; presented by "Walt Disney", "Walt Disney Productions", "Walt Disney Pictures" or "Disney"; includes the Disney production logo and/or on-screen credit in the film; or branded/marketed under the Disney moniker. Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios films (and for that matter, Disneynature) are included in this list because they are released under the Disney brand—the article's lead entails this.

In regards to Indian language films (and any foreign-produced films, for that matter), that should be left up to editors' consensus. Personally, I'm fine with including such films in this list, as long as they meet the aforementioned requirements (which ABCD 2 indeed does). ~ Jedi94 (Want to tell me something?) 03:11, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Article Name

I'm not ~so sure that the present article name is the optimal choice; given that for the 75 years that Disney has released feature films, 45 of those were either under the name of the co-founder/public persona and later former parent company name (Walt Disney Productions); and the fact that the "Walt Disney Pictures" name seems to have recently been reduced to simply "Disney" on new feature films.

My favored option would be "List of Disney branded films". RicJac (talk) 14:28, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Recently I moved the article's name from "List of Disney theatrical feature films" to "List of Walt Disney Pictures films" for two main reasons.

1) The former name was too broad and since this article only listed films from Walt Disney Pictures, then it was misleading.

2) I moved it to parallel all the other major studio articles with their own "list of films" pages. In the case of some of those studios (Universal, Touchstone, Fox and Paramount) they've all had different names over the course of their existence, and yet all of their "list of films" pages use the current studio's name.

As for the recent truncation from "Walt Disney Pictures" to "Disney", I believe that's a marketing strategy Disney is employing now, since the company is so hellbent with branding their products nowadays. It might also explain why such a move took two years to be completely realized. At first, it was just the Disney moniker above the film's title that was changed (beginning with Alice in Wonderland), then the opening logo was altered (The Muppets) and finally the poster and on-screen credits were shortened (John Carter). All this occurred while no announcement was made that the company was changing the legal name. Also, the logo found on their home media packaging was changed from "Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment" to read simply as "Disney", despite that not being the division's legal name. All of this has led me to believe that it's all just corporate marketing, therefore we would have to find more verifiable sources on that matter if we do decide to follow that path. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 02:25, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

First, legal names rarely conform to marketing as there is a thing called trademarks and fictitious business names. By the way, the actual name of the home entertainment subsidiary is still Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Inc.

Second, my proposal is not meant to emulate the current marketing voodoo heralded out from the hallowed halls in Burbank, but rather to trim down to what is the essential ingredient from 1938 to the present-day: the Disney name (or brand, label, banner etc.) and the unique connotations (for better or worse) that accompanies it. "Walt Disney Pictures" is nothing more than a 1983 creation which has recently fallen into disuse as a brand for new theatrical releases, apart from remaining the legal name of a subsidiary, analogous to the BVHE example above. It makes little sense to use a name which is neither in current use nor representative for a even a majority of the time period covered. RicJac (talk) 08:31, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

(Of course other live action units were formed for more adult fare and to increase output: Touchstone, Buena Vista, Hollywood, Caravan; and purchased: MiraMax and Marvel.)

This article is devoted to theatrical Disney releases. The films mentioned above are direct-to-video films, which are not included on this list. For a more appropriate list, see List of Disney home entertainment. ~ Jedi94 (talk) 17:52, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Is that statement entirely true? Aren't you also including TV's "Wonderful World of Disney" movies as a theatrical releases?

One more potential missing movie...The Nightmare Before Christmas. I see the IMAX release but not the original release date of 1994 on here. Vpelo (talk) 21:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Inspired by or Based on?

I believe there should be a distinction between a movie being inspired by or based on an original story. I say this because even Disney does not claim to have created "Frozen" BASED ON Hans Christian Anderson's original "The Snow Queen". The movie has INSPIRED BY in the credits and I believe this is a very important detail to be added to the page.

Here is a link to a screen shot of the credits from the movie.

The Last Warrior

Please, add to this page new Disney's movie produced on Russia, The Last Warrior. How is this possible: The Book of Masters is, but The Last Warrior - no? This is also a Disney film.

The section "Future releases" is inadequate

The section "Future releases", specifically the "In development - theatrical releases" subsection, is completely inadequate and borders on fan blog instead of an encyclopaedic article. Almost all the movies cited in the subsection are "supported" with the weakest of the references, some of them not even suggesting that the movie is (or still is) in production.

For example, the "Untitled A Bug's Life Sequel" is linked to an article which clearly states that the speculation of a sequel is based on a mere tweet. Other damaging entries are these which use very old references, without giving any further proof that such a (supposed) long-in-development movie is still in the works. One example is the reference used for the "Gargoyles" movie, which is dated from 2011, with no further suggestion whatsoever that the movie is still in production now in 2018.

The entire subsection needs to be redone, for it lacks the encyclopaedic rigour that each and every Wikipedia article needs to follow.

Tim Week (talk) 20:57, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

@Tim Week:. I have removed every movie in the the "In development" subsection with a source more than five years old. Movies are canceled by the studio all the time and there is no evidence any of these are still in development. I see no purpose of a "List of films Disney has purchased the rights to or have requested a script about" but those I deleted would belong there, not here. I could certainly support removing the rest of the subsection as well, enforcing a shorter source age limit, or limiting it to films with sources that it is under active filming/animation.

Lion King (2019)

This movie is erroneously listed as live action. It uses computer generated animations. Because of this the tag for it should be changed to animated. Drezirale (talk) 11:20, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

I agree. It should be changed to animated. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 16:23, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Tini: The Movie

A Spanish-Italian film Tini: The Movie which was produced by Walt Disney Company was theatrically released in the native countries along with a lot of countries but it was released digitally in United states https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/intl/?id=_fTINIELGRANCAMBIO01&country=ES&wk=2016W19&id=_fTINIELGRANCAMBIO01&p=.htm So it should be included or not in the list??. Sid95Q (talk) 20:01, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

@Sid95Q: this film should definitely be listed here. Whether it was release in the states or a foreign-only release, so long as it is a theatrical film and has the Walt Disney Company as a production company - it should be included.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 20:44, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@DisneyMetalhead: I have already added this film to the list. I was also thinking of adding films like High School Musical: El Desafío and High School Musical: O Desafio. Sid95Q (talk) 20:52, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

New list for entire Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures line of films

As much as this list is fine how it is, how about creating a page for the entire Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures library and not just the separate labels, it would remove the need for a separate page identifying separate lists of films they have released, but also give a person a good idea about how many films Disney releases every year. Any comment that opposes this page will be deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.54.163.113 (talk) 13:54, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

I will say right from the start that you aren't going to be deleting other's comments here without a valid reason per WP:TALKO. That being said, if we were to do this then the page would become so large it would be uncomfortable to read. We should leave things the way they are in my opinion. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:45, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

@User:184.54.163.113; you shouldn't be deleting comments simply because they disagree with you. Consensuses are reached/changes are made by collaboration between editors. I would agree that one page with all the lists of Disney films would be helpful in one degree. However, this does make for a very long article. Despite this, one page listing The Walt Disney Company films, with sub-sections dividing studios may not hurt... basically I am Indifferent regarding this suggestion.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 20:54, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Do we really need to denote whether or not the films are live-action or animated?

It just seems unnecessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:588:8400:5BE5:D58F:213:F4A8:1F47 (talk) 15:58, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

@User:2601:588:8400:5BE5:D58F:213:F4A8:1F47; You need to sign each of your comments so that editors can respond to you.

Disney+ vs Direct-to-video Walt Disney Pictures films

The inclusion of Walt Disney Pictures films which are headed for Disney+ in this list puzzles me. For years the article only included WDP films that were released on cinemas, ignoring, for example, films produced under the label which were meant for direct-to-video releases (e.g. the Tinker Bell films). However, it now also includes Disney+ films, which is completely inconsistent with the previous policy. What makes a WDP film meant for Disney+ so different than a direct-to-video one to the point of being able to override the previous article policy?

The article needs to either focus only on WDP films released on cinemas or on ALL WDP films (that is, direct-to-video, Disney+, etc). The way it is done now gives the article not only an aspect of inconsistency but also of favouritism.

Tim Week (talk) 22:36, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

@Tim Week: I think maybe we should add the direct-to-video films here, with the idea of listing all WDP films together. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 18:39, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Tim Week: and @Daniel Carrero: This article/list is based on Walt Disney Studios productions. The Disney+ movies listed are films that were produced/aka made by that film studio (the same one that creates theatrical movies). Disney+ is a direct-to-consumer medium, which will feature Disney Studios exclusive content as an incentive for subscribers. Not all Disney+ films will be listed here (see the Phineas and Ferb movie that was produced by the Disney Channel studios). The article is specifically for Walt Disney Studios releases. Direct-to-home video releases are not-yet listed here (due to the page's structure/topic/purpose).--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 21:05, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@DisneyMetalhead:Direct-to-video releases like Inspector Gadget 2, George of the Jungle 2 or The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, are all made by the Walt Disney Studios and have the Walt Disney Pictures logo at the beginning. So if we include the Disney+ content, there is absolutely no reason not to include the direct-to-video ones.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Is Who Framed Roger Rabbit? not counted as a Disney release? LeftHandedGuitarist (talk) 12:20, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Although Who Framed Roger Rabbit was produced and released by Disney, it was released under the studio's Touchstone Pictures label, therefore it is on that corresponding list. This is only for films released under the Walt Disney Pictures label. ~ Jedi94 (Want to tell me something?) 17:48, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

@LeftHandedGuitarist: and @Jedi94: Despite this however, the film should be listed here (I would argue). Reason being - the Walt Disney Animated Studios did the animation production for the film.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 20:39, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Disney created an animation unit for the film in London supervised by Richard Williams and made up of animators from Feature Animation and Williams' own team. The unit was dissolved after production on the film was completed. So although the film was animated by many of Walt Disney Animation Studios' own staff and produced by the studio's own Don Hahn, it was not entirely a WDAS production either. That being said, it is appropriately mentioned at List of Walt Disney Animation Studios films under "Related productions". As for inclusion here; this page is only for films produced by and released under the Walt Disney Pictures banner (so involvement by Walt Disney Animation Studios is irrelevant), which ultimately Roger Rabbit never was issued as, therefore explaining its omission. ~ Jedi94 (Want to tell me something?) 21:50, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@User:85.171.67.43; none of these film's you have listed are full-length films (they're all shorts, in a compilation). Additionally, the High School Musical movies are Disney Channel Original movies. They are not Walt Disney Studios films. Any straight-to-video releases are/were done by ToonDisney Studios -- they will not be added to this article. Additionally, Lady and the Tramp is listed here as it is a Walt Disney Studios film.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 20:51, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Additionally, so long as they are a subsidiary of the main Walt Disney Studios, it can also be listed here. The general consensus has been to keep separate studios that Disney has bought - out of this list. High School Musical: China - College Dreams as well as your High School Musical: O Desafio and High School Musical: El Desafío can/should be listed as well - given they are theatrical releases and not produced by Disney Channel.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 05:20, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
