Walt Disney Pictures (also known simply as Disney, otherwise known as Disney Live-Action & Animation) is an American-based film studio part of The Walt Disney Studios. It is known not only for mainly producing animated feature films, but also live-action features.
Walt Disney Pictures was established as a division of Walt Disney Productions (now The Walt Disney Company) on April 1, 1983, and the first film to bear the "Walt Disney Pictures" banner was Never Cry Wolf in 1983. Prior to that, "Walt Disney Productions" was the credit used for the company's live action films, with its very first one, Treasure Island, making its theatrical premiere in 1950. The first Disney film to be shot in widescreen was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, released in 1954. The first Disney animated film to be shot in widescreen was Lady and the Tramp, released in 1955.
While the banner maintains a family friendly image, generally releasing G and PG rated films, some of the films under the Walt Disney Pictures banner received a PG-13 rating from the MPA for more mature content, something Touchstone Pictures was capable of doing until its closure in 2016 (with its operations ceasing on December 21, 2017):
•Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
•Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
•Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
•Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)
•Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
