- DirectorWilliam CottrellDavid HandWilfred JacksonStarsAdriana CaselottiHarry StockwellLucille La VerneExiled into the dangerous forest by her wicked stepmother, a princess is rescued by seven dwarf miners who make her part of their household.Walt Disney's first full length animated film, and the first of all time. As a result, it began the biggest production company we all know and love today.
- DirectorNorman FergusonT. HeeWilfred JacksonStarsDickie JonesChristian RubMel BlancA living puppet, with the help of a cricket as his conscience, must prove himself worthy to become a real boy.The second can sometimes be just as good as the first try, and after Snow White's success, Pinocchio wasn't as successful financially at the time, but it got massive critical and audience acclaim. For it's dark, and yet gentle tone.
- DirectorJames AlgarSamuel ArmstrongFord Beebe Jr.StarsLeopold StokowskiDeems TaylorThe Philadelphia OrchestraA series of eight famous pieces of classical music, conducted by Leopold Stokowski and interpreted in animation by Walt Disney's team of artists.Fantasia is considered an experimental film, with animated sequences without any dialog, but with outstanding music, and animated "tricks" that were never seen before Fantasia. It is now considered one of the best movies ever made, and one of Disney's all-time greatest.
- DirectorSamuel ArmstrongNorman FergusonWilfred JacksonStarsSterling HollowayEdward BrophyHerman BingRidiculed because of his enormous ears, a young circus elephant is assisted by a mouse to achieve his full potential.One of the shortest films in Disney’s lineup. But this little film packs an emotional punch. It teaches to accept other people’s differences no matter what it is. This film will make you believe elephants can fly.
- DirectorJames AlgarSamuel ArmstrongDavid HandStarsHardie AlbrightStan AlexanderBobette AudreyThe story of a young deer growing up in the forest.The first animated film featuring only animals to tell the tale. This style of story-telling would later become one of Disney's traditions after having both financial and commercial successes. Today, Bambi is a cult-classic and everybody knows who Bambi is. Because when you see a deer today, you think of Bambi.
- DirectorAlfred L. WerkerHamilton LuskeJack CuttingStarsRobert BenchleyFrances GiffordBuddy PepperHumorist Robert Benchley learns about the animation process at Walt Disney Studios while trying to find the great man himself to pitch him the idea of making a cartoon about a shy dragon.Certainly a letdown from what Disney has done previously, but nonetheless it is unique in its storyline and execution. Basically a movie about making a movie, and it has its good moments like any Disney film, and it is worth checking out for any die hard Disney fan.
- DirectorWilfred JacksonJack KinneyHamilton LuskeStarsFred ShieldsJosé OliveiraLee BlairDisney animators tour South America and present four animated shorts inspired by their trip.The beginning of Disney's war-time propaganda films putting future projects on hold. Most of the animators went off to war, and the ones unable to go, stayed to make these mildly successful propaganda films. This put the animation studio in serious jeopardy.
- DirectorNorman FergusonClyde GeronimiJack KinneyStarsAurora MirandaCarmen MolinaDora LuzDonald receives his birthday gifts, which include traditional gifts and information about Brazil (hosted by Zé Carioca) and Mexico (by Panchito, a Mexican Charro Rooster).The yearly routine for Disney for the next 5 years was producing these propaganda films. These in which no one really remembers, but they still offer the same great fun, and Disney magic that they always had. The Three Caballeros is no exception.
- DirectorRobert CormackClyde GeronimiJack KinneyStarsNelson EddyDinah ShoreLaverne AndrewsAnimation done to contemporary popular music.The 3rd out of 5 of the propaganda films. Make Mine Music is a musical that was as successful as it's predecessor. This was not a good time for Disney. As he was forced into making these propaganda films for the war time.
- DirectorHarold D. SchusterHamilton LuskeStarsBurl IvesBeulah BondiBobby DriscollThis heartwarming classic tells the tale of a country boy who adopts a mischevious black lamb and learns valuable lessons about love and dedication.Another film mixed with live action, and has some good bit of animation enough to consider it an animated film.
- DirectorJames AlgarClyde GeronimiJack KinneyStarsBing CrosbyBasil RathboneEric BloreAn animated adaptation of "The Wind in the Willows" followed by an adaptation of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".The last, but not least, of the propaganda films. Returning to more of the roots of what Disney is known for, with the stories of the classic tales of Ichabod (Sleepy Hollow) and Mr. Toad. Perhaps the most successful of the propaganda films. As the war ended, Disney resumed their planned project. But they needed their next one to be a major success or Disney was going to shut down the animated studio for good, due to financial issues, and commercial failures from movies.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsIlene WoodsJames MacDonaldEleanor AudleyWhen Cinderella's cruel stepmother prevents her from attending the Royal Ball, she gets some unexpected help from the lovable mice Gus and Jaq and from her Fairy Godmother.Disney was biting his nails when this was released. If this film wasn't successful, the animation department would be no more. He returned to princesses, which was used before with Snow White. It was a success, so why not do it again, but with a different princess named Cinderella. And to Disney's relieve, Cinderella paid off, and became a major box office success, and has great opinions from critics. As a result Disney was allowed to continue making animations. Cinderella saved Disney animation from death, literally.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsKathryn BeaumontEd WynnRichard HaydnAlice stumbles into the world of Wonderland. Will she get home? Not if the Queen of Hearts has her way.Alice in Wonderland was a project that Disney wanted to do before Snow White. 14 years later Disney finally came around to make Alice in Wonderland. The film didn't meet much critical acclaim, but did garnish some money out of it. The film features one of Disney's famous characters The Cheshire Cat, voiced by Sterling Holloway.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsBobby DriscollKathryn BeaumontHans ConriedWendy and her brothers are whisked away to the magical world of Neverland with the hero of their stories, Peter Pan.Disney's next animation brought some real spark back into Disney, with songs, characters, and a story that fit so well together. When they say magic, they mean magic. This film has more magic then all the other films combined. First, the magic of flying, and Tinker Bell is the definition of magic. You can look up the word "magic" and the definition will be "tinker bell." And of course you can't have a great film without a great villain, and Captain Hook is a great villain.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiWilfred JacksonHamilton LuskeStarsBarbara LuddyLarry RobertsPeggy LeeThe romantic tale of a sheltered uptown Cocker Spaniel dog and a streetwise downtown Mutt.Disney is once again returning to the traditional princesses and princes, but with....dogs? Hmm? Seems crazy, but it might just work, and boy did it ever. Everybody remembers this film for it's famous spaghetti scene. That scene will always be one of the best. I haven't tried with my girlfriend yet, but I just might. She'll probably look at me like, "Ok? Weird."
- DirectorLes ClarkClyde GeronimiEric LarsonStarsMary CostaBill ShirleyEleanor AudleyAfter being snubbed by the royal family, a malevolent fairy places a curse on a princess which only a prince can break, along with the help of three good fairies.After a 4 year absence of animations from Disney while working on Sleeping Beauty, they release....Sleeping Beauty. Unfortunately, Sleeping Beauty didn't succeed the way Disney wanted it to. It was one of Disney's worst performing film since the propaganda films of the 40's. Great film, bad performance. As a result, the animation department lost a lot of money. But, it didn't stop Disney from continuing to make animations.
- DirectorClyde GeronimiHamilton LuskeWolfgang ReithermanStarsRod TaylorBetty Lou GersonJ. Pat O'MalleyWhen a litter of Dalmatian puppies are abducted by the minions of Cruella De Vil, the owners must find them before she uses them for a diabolical fashion statement.A unique film by Disney. A crime, rescue, and suspenseful film which is a first for Disney, and they did like pros. Their second film to use dogs as the base of the story. A crazed woman named Cruella De Vil hires two goons to steal some puppies. Then a rescue is at hand, suspense is in the air, and action-packed scenes make this an all-time classic. The first film to use xeno-graph.
- DirectorWolfgang ReithermanClyde GeronimiDavid HandStarsRickie SorensenSebastian CabotKarl SwensonA poor boy named Arthur learns the power of love, kindness, knowledge and bravery with the help of a wizard called Merlin in the path to become one of the most beloved kings in English history.Continuing Disney strong run, with the exception of Sleeping Beauty, is The Sword in the Stone. Based off of the fairy tale. Disney shows it capabilities of making fairy tales not related to princesses. This was Walt's last animation he was able to live to see, before his passing.
- DirectorWolfgang ReithermanStarsPhil HarrisSebastian CabotLouis PrimaBagheera the Panther and Baloo the Bear have a difficult time trying to convince a boy to leave the jungle for human civilization.The Jungle Book was released after Walt's passing, and one of his last that he actually took part in. With Walt passing on, before he handed the studio into the hands of Roy Miller. Who continued making animations related to how Walt did it. And the Jungle Book was ironically a commercially, critically, and financially successful film.
- DirectorWolfgang ReithermanStarsPhil HarrisEva GaborSterling HollowayWith the help of a smooth talking tomcat, a family of Parisian felines set to inherit a fortune from their owner try to make it back home after a jealous butler kidnaps them and leaves them in the country.Truly Disney's last film with Walt's involvement. It's kind of a mixture of Lady and the Tramp, and 101 Dalmatians only with cats, instead of dogs. It's a kidnap, romance, and crime film. Cats run the screen, and is the first Disney animation to feature cats, with the exception of Figaro from Pinocchio, The Cheshire Cat, Bagheera and Shere Khan from The Jungle Book, and Sargent Tibbs from 101 Dalmatians. But, this is the first they use cats as the main focus of the story, and it won't be the last.
- DirectorWolfgang ReithermanDavid HandStarsBrian BedfordPhil HarrisRoger MillerThe story of the legendary British outlaw portrayed with the characters as anthropomorphic animals.The second film from Disney featuring all animals, they haven't done it since Bambi. This time they use the story of Robin Hood. This film was mediocre in the box office and with critics. This was sort of the beginning of a downgrade for the animation department. Not as severe as in the 40's but a time when Disney lost it's vibe. Disney was again searching for something good.
- DirectorJohn LounsberyWolfgang ReithermanArt StevensStarsBob NewhartEva GaborGeraldine PageTwo mice of the Rescue Aid Society search for a little girl kidnapped by unscrupulous treasure hunters.Next up is The Rescuers featuring mice, on an adventure to save a little girl from, what seems like Cruella's sister. You can say this is a parallel to An American Tail which also features mice to tell a story on a quest to save someone. This is a time when one of Disney's animators Don Bluth left to make his own animation company, which made An American Tail to compete with Disney's Rescuers.
- DirectorJohn LounsberyWolfgang ReithermanBen SharpsteenStarsSebastian CabotJunius MatthewsBarbara LuddyIn this collection of animated shorts based on the stories and characters by A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh, a honey-loving teddy bear, embarks on some eccentric adventures.Disney's first compilation film, involving many sequences each about 20 minutes long or so. And an array of more famous character emerged from this. Including: Tigger, Piglet, and of course Winnie the Pooh.
- DirectorTed BermanRichard RichArt StevensStarsMickey RooneyKurt RussellPearl BaileyA fox named Tod and a hound named Copper vow to be best friends forever. But as Copper grows into a hunting dog, their unlikely friendship faces the ultimate test.A story about friendship, and an inevitable fact horrifically destroys their friendship, which is they are supposed to be enemies. A fox and a hound wouldn't seem like a pair, but this films shows that friends come from the most unexpected place, and the most unexpected people. This was the last film that involved any of the "Nine Old Men" which were animators that worked with Walt throughout the years. Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas were the only ones left, and they taught to younger animators, and passed on their work to them. Johnston and Thomas retired after The Fox and the Hound. The new animators finished the project, and would later be involved in future successes of Disney.
