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 once announced that Home on the Range (released April 2 2004) would be its final traditionally animated film, and from Chicken Little (released November 4 2005) onwards, all future WDFA films will be computer animated. However, this changed in July 2006 when a new traditionally animated film, The Frog Princess, was revealed to be in development.
