List of Disney films

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an overview of the film productions of the Walt Disney Company ( WDC ).

Silly Symphonies films

Cinema productions of the "Masterpieces" series

Most of the cinema productions are listed by the WDC as "Walt Disney Masterpieces" for marketing reasons, including the 58 animated films made by Walt Disney Animation Studios so far . Films for television series ( e.g. Goofy - Der Film ), real-life films with short cartoon parts ( e.g. Mary Poppins ) or films produced for the video market (e.g. The Lion King 2 ) do not officially belong in this series . Some of them actually have a film historical significance, such as Fantasia from 1940 ( the first full-length animated film that put music in the foreground ).

Since 2005, the computer-animated films produced by Disney have also been included in the list, the first being Heaven and Chicken , which is counted as the 46th masterpiece .

In 2009, the Disney film Dinosaurs was subsequently included in the official canon, so that all other films in this series are moved back one number.

In Germany, however, the remaining Disney cartoons as well as mixed real-life and cartoon films are often sold on VHS and DVD as masterwork , which is why the term has not become so well established in Germany.

In 2017, the German release of the Disney Classics Collection began, which had already appeared in other countries in previous years. The collection includes films from Walt Disney Animation Studios. With the publication, the previous “moratorium” strategy was abandoned. The films appeared in a uniform design on DVD and Blu-ray, with a total of nine films only being released on DVD. However, Blu-ray versions of some of them exist in other countries. In the German-speaking area, the film Make Mine Music was removed from the Classics series and not released. Even if Tierisch Wild appeared in the fourth wave of Elfer in January 2018, it is not part of the masterpiece series, as the film does not count as a masterpiece in the USA and was produced by another animation studio.

Real film adaptations of the "Disney masterpieces"

Many of the classic animated films from Disney Studios are filmed in real life or their role models are newly adapted as real films. As a rule, care is taken that the films are based on the original in terms of appearance and content.

Published

year title Idol Director (s) Remarks
1994 The jungle Book The jungle Book Stephen Sommers This film adaptation is a new adaptation of the literary model by Rudyard Kipling , which is loosely based on the original.
1996 101 Dalmatians 101 Dalmatians Stephen Herek The plot of the film has been modernized, but is based heavily on the original film. Unlike this one, the film features real animals that cannot talk
2000 102 Dalmatians Continuation of 101 Dalmatians Kevin Lima The film merely continues the story of Cruella De Vil and Brush, a now grown-up puppy from the first film.
2010 Alice in Wonderland Alice in Wonderland Tim Burton This film is more of a loose adaptation of the literary model by Lewis Carroll than a direct live adaptation of the classic. Only a few figures and a few details are identical.
2014 Maleficent - The Dark Fairy sleeping Beauty Robert Stromberg The film is based on the cartoon classics, but the plot has been changed so that the fairy Maleficent is the protagonist of the film instead of the opponent.
2015 Cinderella Cinderella Kenneth Branagh The film contains many storylines and elements from the original, but a lot has also been rewritten or added.
2016 The Jungle Book The jungle Book Jon Favreau This version is much darker and more dramatic than the original, but many elements have been adopted from it.
Alice in Wonderland: Behind the Mirrors Sequel to Alice in Wonderland James Bobin The film is both a prequel and a sequel, since the film tells the prehistory of the characters in the wonderland through time travel.
2017 Beauty and the Beast Beauty and the Beast Bill Condon For the most part corresponds to the original
2018 Christopher Robin The many adventures of Winnie the Pooh Marc Forster The film continues the storyline of the animated classics as it tells the story of the grown-up Christopher Robin.
2019 Dumbo Dumbo Tim Burton The content of the film is loosely based on the cartoon version; only individual elements and details were adopted
Aladdin Aladdin Guy Ritchie Mostly corresponds to the original; only a few small details have been changed and there are some expanded elements.
The Lion King The Lion King Jon Favreau This version largely corresponds to the original with extended elements.
Maleficent: Forces of Darkness Continuation to Maleficent - The Dark Fairy Joachim Rønning Sequel to the 2014 film; Maleficent is again the main character here. There is no longer any reference to the original cartoon classic.
Lady and the Tramp Lady and the Tramp Charlie Bean Mostly corresponds to the original; this remake was not designed for the cinema, but for a release on Disney + .
