A note to the editor

Dear sir, I would like to inform you that the films, Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe, Secret Society of Second-Born Royals, and Zombies 3, are not produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Signed, an anonymous user (I'm anonymous because I like it that way) :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.202.17.99 (talk) 00:43, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done ~ Jedi94 (Want to tell me something?) 03:57, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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?

Does The Return of Jafar belong on this list?

The Return of Jafar was recently added to this article by User:Masterof6cartoons. I suspect it does not fit the criteria "produced by and released under the Walt Disney Pictures banner" as specified in the lede of the article. My suspicion is based mostly on the fact that it has been added and removed many times in the past. Here are all the previous deletion records.

2021 2017 2015 2011 2010 2010 2010 2009 2008 2008 2008 2008 2008 2007 2007

And there are a few other films recently added that might be similar to The Return of Jafar.

(The above list of questionable additions updated 2023-03-03.)

Should all of these films be removed from the article? --Joseph Hewes (talk) 07:04, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If they have the castle opening used for Walt Disney Pictures films, then they should probably remain on the list. Some of the recent 20th Century Studios productions that were released as Disney+ Originals featured the 2011 version, although the text for Walt Disney Pictures is never explicitly mentioned in the credits for those films. Despite this, they are still considered WDP releases even though the studio isn't mentioned because they do still feature the castle opening that is used for their productions, but also because they were promoted on the Walt Disney Studios accounts on social media, which specifically focuses on WDP releases. -- SlySabre (talk) 06:56, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here's some research for The Return of Jafar. The opening & closing credits from the 1994 VHS release have been posted to YouTube.

The film started with a Walt Disney Home Video logo card [1] and a "Walt Disney Home Video presents" title credit.

The closing credits said "Produced by Walt Disney Television Animation" and end with a 1994 Walt Disney Television logo card [2] (which includes the Disneyland castle image).

And here's a 1994 Los Angeles Times article that says the film "was made for a song in Disney’s TV animation division".

Which of the above details are determining factors in whether or not The Return of Jafar (in particular) is in the scope of this article? Or is more information needed? The history of the various Disney companies and who owned what in 1994 is not clear to me. --Joseph Hewes (talk) 09:44, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it has visible text for "Walt Disney Pictures" on the castle logo, or if Walt Disney Pictures is listed in the credits, then it's a Walt Disney Pictures release. If Walt Disney Pictures isn't mentioned anywhere in the credits, and the castle logo instead has text showing "Walt Disney Home Video", then it is not, unless the physical packaging of the DVD/VHS or disk itself mentions Walt Disney Pictures, then it gets more complicated.

International distribution

Is it necessary to note whether Buena Vista International or Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International distributed the film? Both are subsidiaries of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures which is the distributor for most of the films on the list, so noting which one of the two was the international distributor for the films seems unnecessary.

Can we list the movies by their Disney era?

Disney films are often categorized into eras.see pernille olum’s book “the art of pernille olum “ page 10 in a caption box for more details. 2603:8001:B000:220:9CE2:8CC8:648F:70C9 (talk) 03:51, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Protected edit request

Should be noted that Treasure Island is the first fully live-action film on this list. All the others involving live action seem to be partially animated, as well. Easliest film listed with any live action appears to be Victory Through Air Power. 136.159.160.121 (talk) 17:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indiana Jones?

I thought Indy5 was a Lucasfilm? This list is not including the Marvel or Star Wars films so why is Dial of Destiny included? Or does it break from the other LF releases and starts with the castle? 136.159.160.121 (talk) 17:13, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
