This is a list of films released theatrically under the
Walt Disney Pictures banner (known as that since 1983, with
Never Cry Wolf as its first release) and films released before that under the former name of the
parent company,
Walt Disney Productions (1929–1983). Most films listed here were distributed in the United States by the company's distribution division,
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (formerly known as Buena Vista Distribution Company (1953–1987) and Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (1987–2007)). The Disney features produced before
Peter Pan (1953) were originally distributed by
RKO Radio Pictures, and are now distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
