List of Disney theatrical animated feature films

This list of theatrical animated feature films consists of animated films produced or released by The Walt Disney Studios, the film division of The Walt Disney Company.[st 1]

This article is about all animated features produced by or released through The Walt Disney Company and its predecessors. For a list of features produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and its predecessors, see List of Walt Disney Animation Studios films. For lists of features produced by other animation studios owned by The Walt Disney Company, see List of Pixar films, List of Blue Sky Studios films, and Disneytoon Studios § Filmography.

The Walt Disney Studios releases films from Disney-owned and non-Disney owned animation studios. Most films listed below are from Walt Disney Animation Studios, which began as the feature-animation department of Walt Disney Productions, producing its first feature-length animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937; as of January 2021, it has produced a total of 58 feature films.[st 2] Beginning with Toy Story in 1995, The Walt Disney Studios has also released animated films by Pixar Animation Studios, which Disney would eventually acquire in 2006.[1][2] On March 20, 2019, as part of its acquisition of 21st Century Fox, The Walt Disney Studios acquired Blue Sky Studios, as well as 20th Century Fox Animation (now simply 20th Century Animation) which operates as a label within 20th Century Fox.

Other studio units have also released films theatrically, namely, Walt Disney Television Animation's Disney MovieToons/Video Premiere unit (now DisneyToon Studios) and the studio's distribution unit, which acquires film rights from outside animation studios to release films under the Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, 20th Century Studios or previously owned Miramax film labels.
