Disney Animated Canon

The Disney Animated Canon (sometimes known as the Disney animated features canon) is the name given to the overall body of work that is the Disney theatrical animated feature films produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937.
It is one of the four main Disney branches (of which, at 86 years old as of 2023, it is the longest running); the other three being the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pixar, and Star Wars.
Seven of the films are sequels: The Three Caballeros, The Rescuers Down Under, Fantasia 2000, Winnie the Pooh, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and Frozen II and Moana 2.
Frozen III, Frozen IV and Zootopia 2, are upcoming films.
The first feature to use the Castle and Walt Disney Pictures logo was The Black Cauldron.
The final feature to use hand-drawn animation to date has been Winnie the Pooh.
The first feature to use the "Walt Disney Animation Studios" logo was Meet the Robinsons.
For advertising purposes, the Walt Disney Company began to affix numbers to each of the films in the late 1980s. Through this method, they could proclaim the film to be "Disney's X full-length animated film". When the numbering system was introduced, the group of films included became collectively known as the "Disney Animation Canon". Many film historians and animation fans refer to them as Disney "classics" or Disney "features". The numbering system remains today, as recent press releases for such products as the 20th anniversary edition of Oliver & Company, as well as the opening and closing logos and marketing materials for Tangled, still refer to the film's number. Some foreign numbering systems of Disney animated features exclude Dinosaur and include The Wild. However, The Wild was not produced by Disney in that matter. In some countries, Winnie the Pooh is not included.
