However, with the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' series (the [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl first film]] being the first Disney-branded movie to get a PG-13 rating, which was introduced just a few months after Touchstone was established), the once clear distinction between Disney and Touchstone territory began to blur, and Touchstone became more pigeonholed. In 2006 new Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that the company would be making an effort to focus more heavily on its three main core brands (Disney, {{Creator/ABC}} and {{Creator/ESPN}}), as well as on major acquired properties (such as {{Creator/Pixar}} and Franchise/TheMuppets, and later [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] and Creator/{{Lucasfilm}}). As consequence, in 2007, it was announced that the Disney studio would scale back on the number of live-action films produced, the majority of which would now be Disney-branded.

One little-known expansion attempt [[http://icanbreakaway.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-disney-comics-story-1990-1993_5112.html was into the comics market]]; as part of a new self-publishing comics division at Disney, plans were in place for a mature comics label known as ''[[https://kleinletters.com/Blog/logos-that-never-were-touchmark/ Touchmark]]'' (echoing the Touchstone name), along with Hollywood Comics (modeled after Hollywood Pictures) and Vista Comics (offering superhero and sci-fi titles based on other Disney properties like ''TRON''). [[http://icanbreakaway.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-disney-comics-story-1990-1993.html?m=0 However, overexpansion and poor sales]] forced Touchmark's demise before anything was published; editor Art Stone subsequently returned to Creator/DCComics and used several of the intended Touchmark titles as launch titles for the famed Creator/{{Vertigo}} imprint.

In 2011, Touchstone saw new life as the distribution label for Creator/DreamWorks' live action films in North America. In 2012, Disney hired Alan Horn, who had previously had a very successful tenure at Creator/WarnerBros, as its replacement for Rich Ross after the latter resigned due to [[Film/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime a]] [[Film/TheSorcerersApprentice series]] [[Film/{{Secretariat}} of]] [[Film/{{Prom}} high-]][[WesternAnimation/MarsNeedsMoms profile]] [[Film/JohnCarter flops]], making Ross' "only make films the studio knows how to sell" edict rather ironic in hindsight. While the production side remained moribund, there had been interest by new studio chairman Alan Horn of increasing Disney's yearly output and diversifying the types of movies the studio makes.
