Line 4:
The main animated films produced by the [[Disney]] studios.
In 1937, [[Walt Disney]] released the first feature-length animated film in the English-speaking world. (However, [[Older Than They Think|it wasn't]], [[Common Knowledge|as many claim]], the first feature-length animated film ''ever''. Foreign examples predating ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]'' include Argentina's ''El Apóstol'' in 1917, Germany's ''[[The Adventures of Prince Achmed]]'' in 1926, and Egypt's ''Mich Mich Effendi'' in 1935.)
This category does not include [[Pixar]] productions, nor does it include every animated feature released by Disney (such as [[A Goofy Movie|those]] [[Recess: School's Out|created]] [[Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers|by]] DisneyToon Studios, [[Direct to Video]] Sequels, or animated films made under a different banner, such as ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]''). There don't seem to be any hard-and-fast rules as to which movies get to be part of the canon and which don't, but generally, the canon films are made by the Disney feature animation unit (live-action/animation hybrids like ''[[Mary Poppins]]'' tend not to count unless the animation is the bulk of the film). The Other Wiki has a [[wikipedia:List of Disney theatrical animated features|set of lists]] for both the canon and non-canon films.
Line 12:
The films, in chronological order, are:
<!-- %% Song Of The South is not part of the Disney Animated Canon. Do not post it here. -->
# [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]] (1937)
# [[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]] (1940)
# [[Fantasia]]<ref name="anthology">Consists of several short films released as one feature.</ref> (1940)
Line 131:
** [[Carnivore Confusion]], especially.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Oftentimes one of the sidekicks to the hero or the villain will cater to this, and there have even been some main protagonists as well.
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: A lot of Disney queens are often portrayed as villains, especially in [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|guess which film]]. Also, positive queens are either killed off early or shoved in the background.
** [[The High Queen]]: At the end of ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire''. Features the only princess that becomes a queen.
* [[The Good Guys Always Win]]: Except maybe in {{spoiler|the "Ichabod" half of ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]''.}}
Line 142:
* [[Light Is Good]] and [[Dark Is Evil]]: Both tropes are played straight in most of the movies.
** [[Dark Is Not Evil|In]][[Light Is Not Good|verted]] in ''Beauty and the Beast'', ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', and ''Tarzan'', however.
* [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]]: The "Black Diamond" Classics, the Masterpiece Collection, the Gold Collection, the Platinum Editions, and the Diamond Editions, all of these sets being released in a wide variety of home video formats, with VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and LaserDisc being the most popular. And of course, the Disney Vault that these all get shoved into if you don't buy them now!
** Special mention goes to the Masterpiece Collection, which included ''every'' VHS release at the time that was part of the Canon, including the stuff nobody remembers (like the compilation films) and the brand-new movies. From ''Tarzan'' on, they just put "Walt Disney Pictures Presents" on their cases.
* [[Love At First Sight]]
Line 165:
* [[Scenery Porn]]
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: Some [[Big Bad|villains]]:
** Pride=[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Queen Grimhilde]] and [[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Queen of Hearts]] (they're queens). Also [[Beauty and The Beast|Gaston]] (Wants to be the handsomest man in town)
** Envy=[[The Lion King|Scar]], [[Hercules (Disney film)|Hades]] and [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Jafar]] (want to be the king-the sultan)
** Greed=[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Prince John]] (steals money from all people in Nottingham)
