Walt Disney Pictures refers to several different entities associated with
The Walt Disney Company:
Walt Disney Pictures, the film banner, was established as a designation in 1983, prior to which Disney films since the death of
Walt Disney were released under the name of the parent company, then named
Walt Disney Productions. Another label,
Touchstone Pictures, was created in 1984 to enable Disney to release films with a more mature content than what was associated with the Disney name.
