The BV Motion Picture Group has officially changed its name to Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. This new name will be used for all aspects of the studio film division. Buena Vista Pictures Marketing is now Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Marketing. The production and development area is now Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Production. Domestic film distribution (BVPD) is now Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Distribution. International film distribution and marketing (formerly BVI) is john willcox Studios Motion Pictures International. Update your pages accordingly. 69.231.233.61 03:47, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Please see Talk:Marvel_Studios#Walt_Disney as to why not to add Marvel Studios as subsidiary of The Walt Disney Studios. Spshu ( talk) 21:53, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
This page has been edited on numerous instances in regards to the film imprints, studio divisions, labels, and production companies of the Walt Disney Studios, therefore I want to bring some clarity on the subject.
Current Studio Structure
Film Imprints
Divisions and Production Companies
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment handle distribution in theatrical and home media mediums, respectively.
Former Divisions
I recognize that there are some debacles concerning this issue, such as the ongoing discussion regarding Marvel Studios' role in the Studios at Talk:Marvel Studios#Walt Disney, but from the above information the Walt Disney Company has provided, I have to ask; "Why are we not firmly consistent on basing the article on the available information?" ~ Jedi94 ( talk) 01:43, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
←Um, that is how we have it list at WP. But per Walt Disney Studios, what we call Walt Disney Pictures is called Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures and per the Walt Disney Co.'s Our businesses page: The Walt Disney Studios states "Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures" - "Industry: Live-Action Film Production" Business Week also indicates that "Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Inc. operates as a motion picture and television feature distribution company." Business Week also shows separate presidents of Disney Studios Motion Pictures for production and distribution. There is some possibility that they are separate entities as I have found that there still are active incorporation records showing that Buena Vista Home Entertainment still is the corporate name. Spshu ( talk) 17:49, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
AGREE with @ RicJac:. One is Disney branded releases, while the other is the a production studio/company. They are not the same thing.-- DisneyMetalhead ( talk) 03:26, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
All the above sources contradict your, Jedi94, statement: "None of our sources confirm that Disney Enterprises is its own entity. After reviewing it again, it looks to be the Company's legal name as a whole." Jedi94: "Your edits are also suggesting that Disney has two major studio subsidiaries." My edit shows is to show the main studios and its main picture banner.
←Sorry, but the move should not have been done. The discussion is germane to this article as it is the relationship of Disney Enterprises to WD Studios is the issue at hand. Also, it creates "double redirect" in the discussion and seperates the discussion from its edit history. Spshu ( talk) 12:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
It's been over 18 days of inactivity and no verified source has been found to define the relationship between Disney Enterprises, Inc. and The Walt Disney Studios. With that and what's been previously said by other editors, I've removed the content. ~ Jedi94 ( talk) 20:29, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
What is the name the list of actors and actresses at the Walt Disney Studios division? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.217.17.15 ( talk) 01:53, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Just a heads up that a change to the structure table is going to take place. Walt Disney Pictures Distribution (formerly Buena Vista Distribution) which is not a part of the current Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, but a part of Walt Disney Studios per Alan Bergman President, The Walt Disney Studios: "As President, The Walt Disney Studios, Alan Bergman is responsible for the distribution of the Studios' motion pictures across theatrical exhibition, home entertainment, pay TV, digital, and other new media windows." So, while they separately report to the WD Studio president, I will cluster distribution units together for categorization purposes only. Spshu ( talk) 13:15, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
Has Disney released a R rated film in 2016. 47.54.189.22 ( talk) 11:57, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
For various lists on Disney's filmography you can see Lists of films released by Disney, thought it might not include films by subsidiaries which are no longer owned by Disney.
Wikipedia does not really have lists of films by rating, but it does provide an external link to Film.Rating.com, a website which covers ratings for films released from 1968 onwards. Happy hunting. Dimadick ( talk) 07:33, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

There seems to be an endless back-and-forth regarding whether we should list the subsidiaries in the infobox with full legal name (including suffixes like LLC, Inc). So, I thought I'd bring this up for those involved to agree on one format.
Personally, I prefer them without the corporate suffixes. I think the suffixes make the infobox look ugly and cluttered while not changing or adding any valuable information. Marvel Studios is still referring to Marvel Studios company whether you call it "Marvel Studios, LLC" or not. "Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation" just looks ugly and unnecessary since the more common "20th Century Fox" would be sufficient. I believe Wikipedia prioritizes common names over the official legal names. We don't list Bill Clinton as "William Clinton" even though that is his legal name. We don't reference to ABC Studios as "Touchstone Television Productions, LLC" because people would have no idea what you're talking about. Instead, we use the common DBA name, ABC Studios. So, why do we need to list them here with their full legal names here?
Pinging @ Paulo Ferrari Jr.: and @ Spshu:.
Thanks. Starforce13 ( talk) 17:43, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
Should’t 20th Century Fox and Fox 2000 be moved down to the subsidiary section? Because what you have listed here now is kind of confusing. Brian K. Tyler ( talk) 23:34, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
I mean 20th Century Fox Animation. Brian K. Tyler ( talk) 23:34, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
Since Blue Sky Studios and 20th Century Fox Animation division are basically synonymous, led by the exact same people who report to Walt Disney Studios... and since Disney reorganized all the studios to report directly to Walt Disney Studios... is it really correct to keep saying Blue Sky Studios is a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox Animation when they're basically the same thing? Also, Disney only uses "Blue Sky Studios" in its press releases. They never use "20th Century Fox Animation." The only time you see that, it's when news sites are paraphrasing. Even Blue Sky's Andrea Miloro used "Blue Sky" in her farewell note. If Fox Animation was at a higher organizational level than Blue Sky Studios, she would have used the bigger piece. So, does 20th Century Fox Animation still exist? Starforce13 17:34, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
This is name of the division: The Walt Disney Studios. That is its legal, registered name; it is also how it appears in the logo, and how Disney promotes the division publicly. So why is the title of the article resorting to parentheses instead of just adjusting it to its official name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim Week ( talk • contribs) 11:12, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
As explained in the edit summary, post 21st Century Fox merger makes more sense as a History subsection then the decades naming. This is more meaningful for the company than decades and for readers. This era goes over the decade split. I would remove the decades as they don't convey any thing meaningful eras of the company to the reader. Spshu ( talk) 16:11, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
A 20% stake in Regency Enterprises was bought out by frequent distributor, 20th Century Fox in 1997.
In the 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, Walt Disney Studios inherited the stake in Regency by owning the now renamed 20th Century Studios.
This would only be a minor edit added under the 20th Century Studios sections. It also shown on the Regency Wikipedia page that it is owned by Disney. It is still shown that they own a portion of the company. Rywiki02 ( talk) 22:43, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

I feel like there should be a Franchises section. Clearly there are several franchises stemming from the Walt Disney Studios. ZX2006XZ ( talk) 21:02, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Should somebody put a mark on Marvel Studios that inficates "This division produces both live-action and animated productions" since there's no indication they are going to use a separate subsidiary or label for certain animated works (unlike Lucasfilm, whose animated productions are made under the "Lucasfilm Animation" label/subsidiary), and instead will be produced directly at the studio. Yet, their only productions are animated series and not movies (as of writing), so what is the best option? And ihop you can understand what i wrote.
PD: Before anybody makes mention of the "Marvel Animation" label (which became part of Marvel Studios in 2019), i was talking about shows such as What If..? and X-Men '97, which are being produced outside of Marvel Animation and directly at Marvel Studios.
