Walt Disney Animation Studios is an American animation studio headquartered in Burbank, California, the original feature film division of the Walt Disney Company. The studio's films are also often called "Disney Classics" (or "Classic Animated Features" in the case of the films with traditional hand drawn animation), or "Disney Animated Canon".

Originally known as Walt Disney Productions (1937–1985), Walt Disney Animation (1986–1994) and Walt Disney Feature Animation (1994–2007), the studio has produced 64 films, beginning with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937, one of the first full-length animated feature films, and the first produced in the United States. The studio's most recent release is Zootopia 2 in 2025, with their upcoming slate of films including Hexed in 2026 and Frozen 3 in 2027. In addition, three unannounced films are scheduled to be released on November 22, 2028, March 9, 2029 & June 15, 2029.
