'''Walt Disney Pictures''' (branded and credited as simply '''Disney''' since 2011) is [[The Walt Disney Company]]'s flagship producer of live-action feature films, based at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. Animated films produced by [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] and [[Pixar Animation Studios]] (as well as by the former [[DisneyToon Studios]]) are also released under this banner. Originally founded on April 1, 1983 as the live-action film division of [[Walt Disney Productions]] (which was later reorganized as the larger Walt Disney Company in 1986), today it is one of Hollywood's "Big Five" studios, alongside [[Paramount Pictures]], [[Sony Pictures Entertainment|Sony Pictures]], [[Universal Pictures]], and [[Warner Bros. Pictures]]. Its films are distributed through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (known as [[Buena Vista Pictures Distribution]] until 2007). |

In addition to producing and releasing live-action films through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures (known as [[Buena Vista Pictures Distribution]] until 2007), the studio also releases all films produced by [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] and [[Pixar Animation Studios]] (as well as the former [[DisneyToon Studios]] until 2018). Today Walt Disney Pictures is one of the "Big Five" Hollywood studios, alongside [[Paramount Pictures]], [[Sony Pictures Entertainment|Sony Pictures]], [[Universal Pictures]], and [[Warner Bros.

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, a shower of light descends from the top of the screen, forming a stylized, segmented Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty castle. The segments seem to be spaced farther apart by the time the light reaches the bottom.

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|blue}} background, a shower of light descends from the top of the screen, forming a stylized, segmented drawing of a castle (likely based on Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle); the segments appear to be spaced increasingly further apart as the light descends. Through the main gate of the castle, a ray of light appears and morphs into the words "'''W{{Small|ALT}} Di{{small|SNEY}}'''" in its familiar corporate font, followed by the word "{{font|Courier New|PICTURES}}" fading in underneath. A ray of light then draws an arc over the castle, which is hidden only by its highest tower. Three main variants of this exist: |

|
* June 21, 1985-November 17, 1989: The castle has a {{color|mediumpurple|lavender}}/white gradient, and the background is {{color|indigo}}. However, some prints of ''The Black Cauldron'' show the castle in pure white. |

|
** Some versions of this variant show the castle with a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}/white gradient. In this variant, the semi-circular line is drawn all the way to the bottom left. Also, there is a pause after the initial glow before the shower of light descends, and the flash from the castle gate starts immediately after the castle has been formed. |

Also, there is a brief pause after the initial glow before the shower of light descends, and the flash from the castle gate starts immediately after the castle has been fully formed. |
|
*March 21, 1990-April 14, 2006: The castle is now {{color|skyblue|sky blue}}, and the background is in a deep shade of {{color|blue}}. Also, the semi-circular line now ends just above the "'''W'''" in "'''W{{Small|ALT}} Di{{small|SNEY}}'''". |

|
|
** In the original cel-animated version of this variant, the "Walt Disney" wordmark appears slightly transparent, whereas in the digital ink-and-paint version, introduced in 1994, the wordmark is opaquely white. |
|
* February 15, 2002-December 12, 2006: Same as the 1990 variant, but a seventh flag is added to the castle. This variant appeared exclusively on films produced by [[DisneyToon Studios]]. |

* Many recent prints of some of the company's core titles (both TV and home media) have plastered this with the 2006 logo and/or the [[Walt Disney Animation Studios]] logo since the late 2000s, but it is still intact on older home media and some newer prints/airings of its other core titles (such as the 2008 release of ''The Aristocats'', the Diamond Edition DVD release of ''Lady and the Tramp'', and the ''Bambi: The Story Behind the Story'' feature on the DE DVD release of ''Bambi'' (with the RKO Pictures custom theme playing underneath); among others) as well as its lesser-known releases. It helps that some of the titles retaining this logo on newer prints are either accompanied by the movie's theme or used a variation, making it somewhat harder to plaster. Thanks to the launch of Disney+, this logo became a bit easier to find, as many films on the service preserve their original logos. |

* After this logo retired, this began to be plastered by the 6th logo for 3D theatrical re-releases of earlier Pixar films from 2009-13, a trait which all current home media prints and most TV airings carry forward. The first two ''Toy Story'' films (in 2009 with its 3D re-release), ''Monsters, Inc.'' and ''Finding Nemo'' (both 2012), and ''Cars'' (in 2013) all got the plaster treatment - though the logo is still intact on current prints of ''A Bug's Life'', ''The Incredibles'', and the aforementioned ''Ratatouille'' (except for 3D prints), as well as prior prints of the affected films. |

'''Visuals:''' There is a view of a night sky, with a star somewhere on the screen and the clouds on the bottom. The screen then start flying down through the clouds, revealing a horizon with a winding river (including a yacht), with a train running down a railroad track and some buildings nearby. The screen then flies down past a flag with the Disney coat of arms and continues panning down as fireworks start going off around the setting. The camera continues to turn, pan downwards and zoom out until the castle, now completely redone in CGI, is in full view. Once the camera stops at a comfortable position, with the castle in full view and two walls lined up on opposite sides with a winding river in front, the fireworks stop exploding and a small speck appears from the left side of the castle, flying towards the bottom right side. It then draws a line over the castle, leaving behind pixie dust.

* This logo was animated using the [[Pixar Animation Studios|Pixar]] Renderman and Nuke software, and took nearly a year to fully complete. It was commissioned by then-Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook and then-studio marketing president Oren Aviv. The main staff responsible for the rendering were Cyrese Parrish and Cameron Smith. The 3D typography was done by John Stable and John Bias. Producer Baker Bloodworth and director Mike Gabriel were also part of the team responsible for the logo. |

It is also shown during the end of the Disney100 promo video, which was first shown in the 2022 D23 Expo, on the 2022 edition of ''The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration'' on ABC (hosted by Derek and Julienne Hough), where it starts from the text forming, following the various variations of the previous logo in that video, then cuts to a scene from ''Steamboat Willie''. It also has the archival audio of Walt Disney saying, "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing, that it was all started by a mouse.", which is also used in that video. |
