[edit] Official canon (Walt Disney Animated Classics)

The following is a list of the forty-nine 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 live action films that feature animation, 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.

Notes: "Package" films: releases made up of two or more short films with bridging sequences. Contains live-action shots. Does not fulfill the Academy Award's present definition of an animated feature, which requires at least 70 minutes in running time. Lady and the Tramp was photographed simultaneously in both the regular Academy format and in CinemaScope. Both versions were released at the same time. Sleeping Beauty and The Black Cauldron were both shot in the 70 mm Super Technirama process with six-channel stereophonic sound. Reduced 35 mm CinemaScope-compatible prints with standard soundtracks (mono for Sleeping Beauty, two-channel stereo for The Black Cauldron) were released at the same time as the 70 mm versions. Computer animated. Also released in a Disney Digital 3-D limited cinema version. Tentative release dates for upcoming films.
