Walt Disney Animation Studios is an American animation studio headquartered in Burbank, California,[1] the original feature film division of the Walt Disney Company. The studio's films are also often called "Disney Classics" (or "Classic Animated Features" in the case of the films with traditional hand drawn animation[2]), or "Disney Animated Canon".[3]

Originally known as Walt Disney Productions (1937–1985), Walt Disney Animation (1986–1994) and Walt Disney Feature Animation (1994–2007), the studio has produced 64 films, beginning with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, one of the first full-length animated feature films, and the first produced in the United States. The studio's most recent release is Zootopia 2 in 2025, with their upcoming slate of films including Hexed in 2026 and Frozen 3 in 2027.[4] In addition, four unannounced films are scheduled to be released on February 18, 2028, November 10, 2028, March 9, 2029, & June 15, 2029.[5]

Notes

  1. Before his death in 1966, Walt Disney acted as the producer of the featurettes Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day, both of which were featured in the film.
  2. The film's initial announcement in 2025 listed Trinidad as director alongside Jason Hand, but at CinemaCon 2026, it was announced that Fawn Veerasunthorn would now be directing the film alongside Hand, with Trinidad still on board as co-director.[10]
  3. The film's initial announcement listed Juan Pablo Reyes Lancaster-Jones as producer alongside Conli, but his name was not listed at CinemaCon 2026.[12]

    nb. the exact euro to dollar conversion rate is unknown for earnings since April 2014, but the euro never fell below parity with the dollar during 2014 and 2015 (as can be verified by comparing the exchange rate on the individual date entries at the provided reference) so an approximate conversion rate of €1:$1 is used here to give a lower-bound.
