Talk:List of Walt Disney Pictures films

Internatonal films

Add films like Roadside Romeo, The Book of Masters, The Last Warrior, and the latter's sequels.

Typo in "Number of films per decade"

I noticed that there is a typo in the "Number of films per decade" list. For the year 2012, it says that there are 7 films when there are actually 8 films released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2012.

Could you fix this typo?

Semi-protected edit request on 23 August 21: "In development" section

I think there should be an "In development" section for this article because on List of Walt Disney Studios films (2020-2029), there are Walt Disney Pictures movies in the In development section (including a Robin Hood and a Bambi remake). Could you add that section to this article?

Request to revert article to "List of Disney theatrical films" or make a separate article on theatrical Disney films with Disney+ original movies

This article has become too convoluted with direct-to-video films, international movies nobodies heard of, and Disney+ films. The latter I used to not mind until all of the other non-theatrical Disney films appear on here. -- Cody Fearless-Lee (talk) 6:26PM - December 4, 2021

I 1,000% agree with you @Cody Fearless-Less:. I have no idea how/why someone went in and added straight to video movies. Definitely not at all what this article was made to be. I have previously stated that this article is a mess and have attempted various times over the years to clean it up. One of the recurring issues is the categories as well. For what reason we need a color-coded category, is anyone's guess. I have brought this up as well numerous times. I agree that this article should be about theatrical/Disney+ releases. Meanwhile straight to video releases should/could be on their own page, or on a page encompassing all Disney films. Other editors need to state here why they believe this article merits all of the terrible spin-off/sequels made by Toon Disney Studios.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Missing movies

You are missing some movies I've got old vhs tapes I've watched since I was a child, these titles include: Justin Morgan had a horse 1972, love leads the way 1984, 101 problems of Hercules 1966, and run appaloosa run 1966. They are all full length films and need to be added if you are truly going to say this is the complete list of movies. 166.182.86.70 (talk) 13:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

@Special:Contributions/166.182.86.70; the reason these movies are not listed on this article, is that these are TV movies. They are not made by Walt Disney Pictures. Hope this helps clarify, m8!--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Production status column

{{subst:DNAU|Jedi94}}, I propose bringing back the "Production Status" column in the upcoming films section. ZX2006XZ (talk) 13:02, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Encanto

Encanto is one of (if not the most) popular Disney movie ever produced. The 4th song, "We don't talk about Bruno" is (as of 2022) the most popular song in the United States. It stars Mirabel Madrigal, a 15-year-old girl who didn't get a magic ability like the rest of her family. I haven't really watched the movie.

• @Special:Contributions/2600:1700:C290:8040:D112:821D:3ACA:9E5A; your suggestion makes no sense. This article is a list article. It is not about Encanto, nor does it include plots of any of the films. Follow User:Crboyer's suggestion above^ for your reading pleasures.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:08, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Clean-up...AGAIN (2022)

This has been an ongoing discussion for years, and this article continues to become messy every time I come to "check on it". For whatever reason (who knows why), we have started adding straight-to-home video releases in this table, while the consensus was previously to only include theatrical and Disney+ released movies. The reason for this is that they were made by Walt Disney Pictures (the studio). Any film included required a source that stated it was made by the identified studio. This article needs to be cleaned up, unless editors can provide a logical reason as to why we keep including these movies. I suggest that an additional list article for ALL Disney films (regardless of the studio) be made, for the convenience of readers/editors who want to see every possible Disney movie. An alternative would be to have list articles for theatrical releases vs straight-to-home video releases. Thoughts?--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:12, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I would further suggest again, that the color-coded/classifications of these films is fan-page territory and problematic. Some of the reasons behind this is the disputed classifications of movies themselves. For example: Some editors repeatedly classify movies that have CGI characters as a "hybrid" movie. This becomes an issue given the fact that most modern-day movies have characters that are created through CGI special effects. We cannot classify every film this way. We need to either completely do away with the classifications color-coding, or come to a more definitive definition for each of these film types.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 03:36, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

On the subject of Hybrid Films, we should narrow it down to Traditional Animation/Live-Action films. As I've repeatedly said, what live-action film doesn't use CGI these days?$chnauzer 03:44, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree, Hybrid films should only be live action/animation films, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit. However, there really isn't too many of true Hybrids to justify such a section, so I do agree with DisneyMetalhead that we need to change the classifications color-coding. Cardei012597 (talk) 03:51, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I also agree that we should make list articles for theatrical releases vs straight-to-home video (and/or Disney+ exclusive) releases. Cardei012597 (talk) 03:55, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

However, I do believe the straight-to-home video page might become stale, due to recent (2010s-present) Disney films only releasing in theaters and/or Disney+. Basically, just the clamshell era of straight-to-video releases, rather than any further updates for future (upcoming) films. Cardei012597 (talk) 04:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

We might not need the coloring system, seeing as how live action films take up roughly 75% of the page while animated and hybrid are about 20% and documentary and nature films take up 5%. Secondly, I would suggest combining direct-to-video with straight-to-streaming as one thing (they do both involve skipping the theaters to going straight to one's home living room), but I don't know if that would be even more confusing. Voicebox64 (talk) 04:37, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I agree with you, Voicebox. The coloring system as it is now is not really all that helpful. I also suggested doing just that with direct-to-video and straight-to-streaming, since it is the same concept of skipping theaters and releasing straight to a home release. This could however split apart films from the same studio, creating confusion. For example, both Pixar and DisneyNature have released both theatrical and straight to streaming films. Some editors might think both lists are incomplete without all of Pixar's films or all of DisneyNature's films. Maybe, since there is already lists for all of Pixar/DisneyNature/Animated, ect, we should trim down this list to only Disney's live action films (not co-produced by another studio or one that already has a Wiki list of their own). Thoughts? Cardei012597 (talk) 16:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I'd say that all of the direct-to-video/Disney+ films should be kept in. Also, I never really understood why there was a coloring system to begin with. I mean, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, and 20th Century Studios don't have it. ZX2006XZ (talk) 16:52, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I think we should get rid of the coloring classification system too. Just look at List of Walt Disney Studios films; it works fine without it. Serves no real function anymore beyond fan-service, which is what I feel some of these Disney-related articles are succumbing to. Also, if it helps, there already exists a separate article that was intended for direct-to-video films: List of Disney feature-length home entertainment releases. ~ Jedi94 (Want to tell me something?) 15:17, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Going by the complete agreement above, I will make the bold choice in saying I will now remove the coloring classification system of this page. If someone disagrees with me, they are welcome to revert the change and discuss this further. Cardei012597 (talk) 01:43, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I completed the task of removing the coloring system, as discussed above. Now, we should move forward on what to do with the straight-to-home video releases, also discussed above. Cardei012597 (talk) 02:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Why would we remove the direct to video films if they were produced by Walt Disney Pictures? That's like removing the non-Us films and the Disney Plus films. ZX2006XZ (talk) 18:18, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I am strongly neutral on whether to keep or remove the (clamshell) direct to video films. On one hand, I do understand User:DisneyMetalhead's situation that "the consensus was previously to only include theatrical and Disney+ released movies. The reason for this is that they were made by Walt Disney Pictures (the studio)". The direct to video films are from DisneyToon Studios. My guess is that DisneyMetalhead is asking to only keep the theatrical DisneyToon Studios films (A Goofy Movie, The Tiger Movie, ect.), but not the direct to video sequels specifically on this page. They are produced in a different animation department, for budget reasons. On your side though, they are under the Walt Disney banner, (the Disney castle logo), so I have decided to remain neutral on this part of the discussion. Cardei012597 (talk) 19:46, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Disneytoon Studios movies are released under Walt Disney Pictures. ZX2006XZ (talk) 19:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

However, I can side with the idea User:Jedi94 suggested, which is to move the direct to video films from the current page to List of Disney feature-length home entertainment releases. Cardei012597 (talk) 19:53, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I did find out that this page contains this in the intro "This list does not include... any direct-to-video releases unless they were produced under the main Disney banner". Production is a separate process from distribution/release. Yes, I agree all Disneytoon Studios movies are released by Walt Disney Studios, but only Disneytoon Studios were involved in the production of these films. I believe that is the issue at hand, whether a separate studio produces the film, but is released by Walt Disney Studios. I am leaning more to the idea User:Jedi94 suggested, after this insight.

Colour coding

Hi, up until yesterday this list was colour coded in a thin column down the left hand side. It showed whether a fim was Animation (this was a red box), Live Action, Mix of Animation/Live Action, Documentary, and I believe another category I can't remember. Any chance this could please be restored? I found it really useful while working my way through the list of films to watch. Thank you. 82.46.110.89 (talk) 21:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

This situation was discussed at the section titled "Clean-up...AGAIN (2022)". We decided as a group to remove the color system because "the color-coded/classifications of these films is fan-page territory and problematic. Some of the reasons behind this is the disputed classifications of movies themselves. For example: Some editors repeatedly classify movies that have CGI characters as a "hybrid" movie. This becomes an issue given the fact that most modern-day movies have characters that are created through CGI special effects. We cannot classify every film this way. We need to completely do away with the classifications color-coding". This action was done through a consensus with many editors. Cardei012597 (talk) 22:10, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Why hybrid vs animated vs live action indicator removed

I really dislike that the color coding was removed.

Can we please revert to that again? I use this page regularly and it's almost useless without the color coding for animation, live action etc 2603:6011:221:F182:CC2C:B29:912:1F0 (talk) 14:22, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

@2603:6011:221:F182:CC2C:B29:912:1F0 i still prefer the coloring. You can make it as simple as animation vs live action vs dpcumentary. 200.46.202.100 (talk) 23:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Should these be added?

Should these movies be added to the list? Gnomeo & Juliet, Strange Magic (film), Mars Needs Moms these were distributed by Disney similar to the Studio Ghibli films already on the list. Spies in Disguise, Ron's Gone Wrong these were released by disney after Fox was purchased by Diseny Andcbii (talk) 18:25, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

This is the list for Walt Disney Pictures. You must be talking about List of Disney theatrical animated feature films, which comprises of all thearical animated movies released by Disney (Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Touchstone Pictures, and 20th Century Studios (since 2019). ZX2006XZ (talk) 18:35, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

No I'm talking about this list. Those films also happen to be on the animated films page, but they are missing here. There are a decent number of films on this list that are marked distribution only. Andcbii (talk) 19:21, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Mars Needs Moms was produced by Walt Disney Pictures and ImageMovers Digital, Gnomeo & Juliet was produced by Touchstone Pictures, and Strange Magic was produced by Touchstone Pictures and Lucasfilm. So to answer your question, no. They shouldn't be added, except for Mars Needs Moms, which is already on this list. ZX2006XZ (talk) 20:25, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Ok, I think I understand, this list doesn't include films that were simply distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Andcbii (talk) 12:48, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
