Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of Disney theatrical animated features


This is a list of theatrical animated feature films produced and/or released by Walt Disney Productions/The Walt Disney Company:

Official canon (Walt Disney Animated Classics)

The following is a list of the forty-eight feature films part of the Walt Disney Feature Animation (WDFA) canon, also known as the Walt Disney Animated Classics. The canon includes animated features that were or are being produced entirely by WDFA. Not included are animation/live-action combination films, spin-offs from Disney television shows, the direct-to-video films produced by the DisneyToons studio in Australia (some of which received theatrical releases), or the Pixar films (which Disney "presents" but does not produce). WDFA released its final traditionally animated film, Home on the Range, on April 2 2004 and released their first entirely computer animated feature, Chicken Little, on November 4 2005. Disney has stated that from Chicken Little onwards, all future WDFA films will be computer animated. >
