It is widely considered one of Disney's greatest animated films, and it is the first of only three animated films to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture (the others being Disney·Pixar's 2009 film Up and 2010 film Toy Story 3). Many animated films following its release have been influenced by its blending of traditional animation and computer generated imagery."

Deciding to push the boundaries of animation even further, Disney began production of his first feature-length animated film in 1934. Taking three years to complete, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, based upon the Grimm Brothers' fairy tale, premiered in December 1937 and became the highest-grossing film of that time by 1939.

In addition, the company successfully entered the field of television animation with a number of lavishly budgeted and acclaimed series such as Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Duck Tales and Gargoyles, which were credited in raising artistic standards for the medium in general. Disney also broadened its adult offerings in film when then Disney Studio Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg acquired Miramax Films in 1993.

Other early all-live-action Disney films included The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men (1952),The Sword and the Rose (1953), and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954).
