The animated feature films produced by the {{Disney}} studios.
In 1937, WaltDisney released the first feature-length animated film in the English-speaking world and the first feature film made completely with hand-drawn animation. (However, [[OlderThanTheyThink it wasn't]], [[CommonKnowledge as many claim]], the first feature-length animated film ''ever''. Foreign examples predating ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' and using other kinds of animation include Argentina's ''The Apostle'' (combining hand-drawn with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutout_animation cutout animation]]) in 1917, Germany's ''TheAdventuresOfPrinceAchmed'' (done with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silhouette_animation silhouette animation]]) in 1926, and The Soviet Union's ''The New Gulliver'' (done with StopMotion) in 1935.
This category does not include {{Pixar}} productions, nor does it include every animated feature released by Disney (such as [[AGoofyMovie those]] [[RecessSchoolsOut created]] [[MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers by]] [=DisneyToon=] Studios, DirectToVideo Sequels, StudioGhibli dubs, or animated films made under a different banner, such as ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''). There don't seem to be any hard-and-fast rules as to which movies get to be part of the canon and which don't, but generally, the canon films are made by the Disney feature animation unit (live-action/animation hybrids like ''Film/MaryPoppins'' tend not to count unless the animation is the bulk of the film). The Other Wiki has a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Disney_theatrical_animated_features set of lists]] for both the canon and non-canon films.
See also DisneyPrincess, ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'' (a possible AffectionateParody of Disney's own films), ''KingdomHearts'', a video game series which also seems to follow the rule of only using canonical characters from nearly all of these films ([[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas and]] [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean then]] [[Film/{{Tron}} so]][[Film/TronLegacy me!]]), or ''HouseOfMouse'' which represents almost every canonical movie (and then some!) with at least a cameo appearance. ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' and ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' were both produced and released by Disney under its Touchstone Pictures banner (The latter's [[ThreeDMovie 3D]] rereleases were under the Disney banner). Compare the works of former Disney animator Creator/DonBluth, as well as the [[WesternAnimation/GulliversTravels two feature length]] [[MrBugGoesToTown animated films made by]] FleischerStudios.

Upcoming films
[[index]]
* Disney/{{Frozen}} (2013)
[[/index]]
[[WhatCouldHaveBeen Cancelled films]]
* TheWizardOfOz (the studio did some conceptual art for it shortly after ''Snow White'' but it was canceled in preproduction after [[MetroGoldwynMayer MGM]] released [[Film/TheWizardOfOz their own version]].)
* Chanticleer (some ideas from development migrated into Creator/DonBluth's ''RockADoodle'')
* The Gremlins: (Based on Roald Dahl's book. Questions of whether plane sabotaging creatures could be made sympathetic and development running late into the war leading to a cancellation due to possibly becoming dated. Some Gremlins would later appear in the 2010 video game ''EpicMickey''.)
* Literature/DonQuixote (just like [[OrsonWelles several]] [[Creator/TerryGilliam other]] attempts to adapt that story into a movie have been canceled)
* Fraidy Cat (was supposed to be Ron Clement's and John Muskers' next film after ''ThePrincessAndTheFrog'')
* Wild Life (due to concerns about [[DarkerAndEdgier more mature]] content)
* My Peoples (Loose Applachian set adaptation of ''[[OscarWilde The Canterville Ghost]]'', cancelled due to the closure of the Florida studio, which was the only one making the movie)
* Fantasia 2006 (due to shifting management; several shorts were completed and released separately)
* Discworld/{{Mort}} (Disney couldn't get the adaptation rights, which were sold as one large package rather than individually)
* Sequels were also planned for films such as ''Disney/TheJungleBook'' and ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'' during earlier phases, though didn't get past early production stages (allegedly due to Walt not being a fan of sequels). Actual follow ups were made much later on, though are not made part of Disney canon.
[=*=] Consists of several short films released as one feature.
----
* By definition, none of Disney's films fit the trope AllAnimationIsDisney, [[CaptainObvious but they are still the]] TropeNamer.
'''Also The TropeNamer For:'''
* DisneyAcidSequence
* DisneyDeath
* DisneyDogFight
* {{Disneyesque}}
* {{Disneyfication}}
* DisneyOwnsThisTrope
* DisneySchoolOfActingAndMime
* DisneyVillainDeath
'''Other Tropes'''
* AllStarCast: Although not as blatantly advertized and abused as DreamworksPictures, the movies in the canon will occasionally have a staggering roster of a-list celebrities lending their vocal talent.
** Before 1992's ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' introduced Robin Williams as the Genie, Disney preferred actual voice actors. After that, they started to increasingly advertise celebrity roles. Some of the more blatant examples; Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi as the leads in ''{{Tangled}}'', MileyCyrus in ''{{Bolt}}'' (particularly egregious because she replaced a voice actor who had already recorded most of her lines) and perhaps MelGibson and ChristianBale in ''{{Pocahontas}}''.
* {{Animorphism}}
* AnimatedAdaptation: Most of them are named after and based on a prior-existing story, though the degree to which they are faithful to the original varies from film to film.
** The aversions are: Disney/TheLionKing, Disney/{{Dinosaur}}, Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove, Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire, Disney/LiloAndStitch, Disney/BrotherBear, Disney/HomeOnTheRange, and Disney/WreckItRalph.
* AnimatedMusical: But then ''The Black Cauldron'' broke that trend, which was restored by ''Oliver and Company'', then broken again by ''The Rescuers Down Under'', then restored again by ''Beauty and the Beast'', then broken again by ''Tarzan'', then restored again by ''The Princess and the Frog''.
** AllMusicalsAreAdaptations: See "Animated Adaptation" above.
** AwardBaitSong
** CrowdSong
** DisneyAcidSequence
** IAmSong
** IWantSong
** SidekickSong
** VillainSong
* AnimationBump (generally in the musical numbers)
* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Averted until ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'' came along in 1985. Since then there have been a fair few other PG-rated canon entries, such as ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', etc. though the vast majority of the canon remains G-rated (the specific ratio of G vs. PG in the canon is, as of June 2012, 43:8).
** Of course, the MPAA rating system didn't exist until 1968, so everything released before then (''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' through ''Disney/TheJungleBook'') had the G rating applied to them retroactively on their post-'68 rereleases.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness
* BigBad: A different one for almost every film.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality
** BlackAndGrayMorality: In its more mature films.
* BlackMagic
* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: Especially in ''Disney/TheLionKing'', ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' and ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', but it might be apparent in other Disney movies too.
** Though it's averted in ''Atlantis'', ''Beauty and the Beast'', ''Meet The Robinsons'', and ''The Great Mouse Detective''.
** And it's actually reversed in ''The Sword in the Stone''.
* CatsAreMean: Used, {{subverted}} and {{averted}}.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve
* ClassicVillain
* DarkerAndEdgier: Nearly all the films [[MoodWhiplash waver between whimsical and hauntingly dramatic]], however, ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' and ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' are frequently considered to have some of the grimmest story content in Disney's entire filmography.
** But the darkest is ''The Black Cauldron''.
** While ''Cauldron'' features animate skeletons and self-sacrifice, it doesn't quite touch on the darkness that was ''Hunchback''... which, as you remember, had an older man [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar lustfully sniff a young woman's hair and then singing about his uncontainable lust]].
* DealWithTheDevil: How Ursula from ''The Little Mermaid'', Hades from ''Hercules'', and Dr. Facillier from ''The Princess and the Frog'' all work. Is it telling that all these share the same directors?
* DeathByCameo
* DenserAndWackier: The tone of the films constantly vary, the majority of films made in the 1960s and early 1970s use a much more offbeat and wacky tone than usual however, with less drama and more comedic and sympathetic villains. ''TheRescuers'' began the return to more darker and earnest story telling (albeit with Disney's usual whimsy).
* EmpathyPet
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: [[DisneyPrincess TEN of 'em!]] (but there are exceptions).
* EvilIsHammy: with few exceptions
* EvilLaugh: Another thing many of the villains have in common.
* EvilMinions: Most of the Big Bads have at least one.
* EvilSorceror
* FairyCompanion
* FollowTheBouncingBall: The "Sing Along Songs" series.
* FurryConfusion
** CarnivoreConfusion, especially.
* GenreSavvy (Oftentimes one of the sidekicks to the hero or the villain will cater to this, and there have even been some main protagonists as well).
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: A lot of Disney queens are often portrayed as villains, especially in [[Disney/SnowWhiteandtheSevenDwarfs guess which film]]. Also, positive queens are either killed off early or shoved in the background.
** TheHighQueen: At the end of ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire''. Features the only princess that becomes a queen.
* TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin: Except maybe in [[spoiler:the "Ichabod" half of ''TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad''.]]
** None of the villains in ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' [[KarmaHoudini are ever punished]] -- Pinocchio just escapes from them. The loss of just one boy presumably not being significant, it can even be said that the Coachman won as far as his scheme went.
* HappilyEverAfter: Averted with both ''[[spoiler:The Fox and the Hound]]'' and ''[[spoiler:Pocahontas]]'', however.
* HeldGaze: Has been used in several of the romance-focused movies to imply the underlying {{UST}} of the characters. Notable films that use this trope are ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', and ''Disney/{{Tangled}}''.
* HumansAreBastards: Played with on several occasions such as in ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'', ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' or ''Disney/TheJungleBook''.
* KarmicDeath: Happens to many if not most of the villains.
* KnightOfCerebus: Though some may still be somewhat comedic, a lot of villains have a very menacing tone (especially in the earliest examples) and are responsible for a lot of MoodWhiplash away from Disney's usual whimsy. See NightmareFuel for their rather haunting effect on many audiences.
* LightIsGood and DarkIsEvil: Both tropes are played straight in most of the movies.
** [[DarkIsNotEvil In]][[LightIsNotGood verted]] in ''Beauty and the Beast'', ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', and ''Tarzan'', however.
* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: The "Black Diamond" Classics, the Masterpiece Collection, the Gold Collection, the Platinum Editions, and the Diamond Editions, all of these sets being released in a wide variety of home video formats, with VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and [=LaserDisc=] being the most popular. And of course, the Disney Vault that these all get shoved into if you don't buy them now!
** Special mention goes to the Masterpiece Collection, which included ''every'' VHS release at the time that was part of the Canon, including the stuff nobody remembers (like the compilation films) and the brand-new movies. From ''Tarzan'' on, they just put "Walt Disney Pictures Presents" on new releases.
* LoveAtFirstSight
* MarryForLove
* MisplacedWildlife
* [[NeverASelfMadeWoman Never A Self-Made Hero]]: Surprisingly often, the hero (of either gender) or heroes have a connection to a relative who is greatly revered (in most cases, a royal parent; but in other cases, [[Disney/{{Mulan}} a war hero dad]] or [[Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire a reknown scientist grandfather]] will do just as well.
** Only a handful Disney movies subvert or avert this trope. In some examples, [[Disney/{{Pocahontas}} John Smith]] (explorer), [[Disney/TheBlackCauldron Taran]] (pigkeeper/peasant) and all main characters of ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' (soldier, son of a gypsy, gypsy performer) are self made heroes.
* NonHumanSidekick: Most of the human main characters and/or their love interests have one, as do some human villains.
** And the ''animals''.
** Averted in ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire'', however.
* OneWingedAngel: Their use of this trope is only surpassed by SquareEnix.
* ParentalAbandonment
** DisappearedDad
** MissingMom
* PeriodPiece: Most of the films in the canon take place at some time in the past. Only ten films are set in ThePresentDay of when they were made: ''Disney/{{Dumbo}}'' (which is dated only by the modern-ish train car at the end), ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', ''Disney/TheRescuers'', ''Disney/OliverAndCompany'', ''Disney/TheRescuersDownUnder'', ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', ''Disney/ChickenLittle'', ''Disney/MeetTheRobinsons'', ''Disney/{{Bolt}}'', and ''Disney/WreckItRalph''. Well, ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'' and ''TheLionKing'' take place in an unknown time period, and ''Treasure Planet'' is set in a constructed universe.
* PluckyComicRelief
* ThePowerOfFriendship
* ThePowerOfLove
* PublicDomainCharacter
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: But there are a few exceptions.
* RunningGag: RecycledTheSeries, as well as importing (usually faster-paced) songs to serve as theme songs for the same.
* SceneryPorn
* StockFootage (see [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1906578 this video]] for examples, with ''Disney/RobinHood'' being the worst offender).
* StorybookOpening: TropeMaker.
* TalkingAnimal
* {{Timeskip}}: Several movies in the canon started adopting this measure beginning in the Disney Renaissance period, and continuing to this day. It got really egregious during the height of the Disney Renaissance period, when films like ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' and ''Disney/{{Tarzan}}'' would have two or more timeskips within the expanse of a 3-minute song.
* TrainingMontage
* VileVillainSaccharineShow
** Even less so with its more mature films, however.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Two books have been written on the subject, ''The Disney [[StealthPun That]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Never Was]]'' and ''Disney Lost and Found'' (focusing on My Peoples and Wild Life specifically alongside deleted segments from completed works.)
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: There are things that anthropomorphic animals do in ''OliverAndCompany'', ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and ''TheLionKing'' that Disney would ''never'' allow in human portrayal.
** WhatMeasureIsANonCute
* WhiteMagic

The animated feature films produced by the {{Disney}} studios.
In 1937, WaltDisney released the first feature-length animated film in the English-speaking world and the first feature film made completely with hand-drawn animation. (However, [[OlderThanTheyThink it wasn't]], [[CommonKnowledge as many claim]], the first feature-length animated film ''ever''. Foreign examples predating ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' and using other kinds of animation include Argentina's ''The Apostle'' (combining hand-drawn with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutout_animation cutout animation]]) in 1917, Germany's ''TheAdventuresOfPrinceAchmed'' (done with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silhouette_animation silhouette animation]]) in 1926, and The Soviet Union's ''The New Gulliver'' (done with StopMotion) in 1935.
This category does not include {{Pixar}} productions, nor does it include every animated feature released by Disney (such as [[AGoofyMovie those]] [[RecessSchoolsOut created]] [[MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers by]] [=DisneyToon=] Studios, DirectToVideo Sequels, StudioGhibli dubs, or animated films made under a different banner, such as ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas''). There don't seem to be any hard-and-fast rules as to which movies get to be part of the canon and which don't, but generally, the canon films are made by the Disney feature animation unit (live-action/animation hybrids like ''Film/MaryPoppins'' tend not to count unless the animation is the bulk of the film). The Other Wiki has a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Disney_theatrical_animated_features set of lists]] for both the canon and non-canon films.
See also DisneyPrincess, ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'' (a possible AffectionateParody of Disney's own films), ''KingdomHearts'', a video game series which also seems to follow the rule of only using canonical characters from nearly all of these films ([[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas and]] [[PiratesOfTheCaribbean then]] [[Film/{{Tron}} so]][[Film/TronLegacy me!]]), or ''HouseOfMouse'' which represents almost every canonical movie (and then some!) with at least a cameo appearance. ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'' and ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' were both produced and released by Disney under its Touchstone Pictures banner (The latter's [[ThreeDMovie 3D]] rereleases were under the Disney banner).

* Fraidy Cat (was supposed to be Ron Clement's and John Muskers' next film after ''ThePrincessAndTheFrog'')
* Wild Life (due to concerns about [[DarkerAndEdgier more mature]] content)
* My Peoples (Loose Applachian set adaptation of ''[[OscarWilde The Canterville Ghost]]'', cancelled due to the closure of the Florida studio, which was the only one making the movie)
* Fantasia 2006 (due to shifting management; several shorts were completed and released separately)
* Discworld/{{Mort}} (Disney couldn't get the adaptation rights, which were sold as one large package rather than individually)
* Sequels were also planned for films such as ''Disney/TheJungleBook'' and ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'' during earlier phases, though didn't get past early production stages (allegedly due to Walt not being a fan of sequels). Actual follow ups were made much later on, though are not made part of Disney canon.
[=*=] Consists of several short films released as one feature.

* By definition, none of Disney's films fit the trope AllAnimationIsDisney, [[CaptainObvious but they are still the]] TropeNamer.
'''Also The TropeNamer For:'''
* DisneyAcidSequence
* DisneyDeath
* DisneyDogFight
* {{Disneyesque}}
* {{Disneyfication}}
* DisneyOwnsThisTrope
* DisneySchoolOfActingAndMime
* DisneyVillainDeath
'''Other Tropes'''
* AllStarCast: Although not as blatantly advertized and abused as DreamworksPictures, the movies in the canon will occasionally have a staggering roster of a-list celebrities lending their vocal talent.
** Before 1992's ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' introduced Robin Williams as the Genie, Disney preferred actual voice actors. After that, they started to increasingly advertise celebrity roles. Some of the more blatant examples; Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi as the leads in ''{{Tangled}}'', MileyCyrus in ''{{Bolt}}'' (particularly egregious because she replaced a voice actor who had already recorded most of her lines) and perhaps MelGibson and ChristianBale in ''{{Pocahontas}}''.
* {{Animorphism}}
* AnimatedAdaptation: Most of them are named after and based on a prior-existing story, though the degree to which they are faithful to the original varies from film to film.
** The aversions are: Disney/TheLionKing, Disney/{{Dinosaur}}, Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove, Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire, Disney/LiloAndStitch, Disney/BrotherBear, Disney/HomeOnTheRange, and Disney/WreckItRalph.
* AnimatedMusical: But then ''The Black Cauldron'' broke that trend, which was restored by ''Oliver and Company'', then broken again by ''The Rescuers Down Under'', then restored again by ''Beauty and the Beast'', then broken again by ''Tarzan'', then restored again by ''The Princess and the Frog''.
** AllMusicalsAreAdaptations: See "Animated Adaptation" above.
** AwardBaitSong
** CrowdSong
** DisneyAcidSequence
** IAmSong
** IWantSong
** SidekickSong
** VillainSong
* AnimationBump (generally in the musical numbers)
* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Averted until ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'' came along in 1985. Since then there have been a fair few other PG-rated canon entries, such as ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', etc. though the vast majority of the canon remains G-rated (the specific ratio of G vs. PG in the canon is, as of June 2012, 43:8).
** Of course, the MPAA rating system didn't exist until 1968, so everything released before then (''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' through ''Disney/TheJungleBook'') had the G rating applied to them retroactively on their post-'68 rereleases.
* BeautyEqualsGoodness
* BigBad: A different one for almost every film.
* BlackAndWhiteMorality
** BlackAndGrayMorality: In its more mature films.
* BlackMagic
* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: Especially in ''Disney/TheLionKing'', ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' and ''Disney/TheEmperorsNewGroove'', but it might be apparent in other Disney movies too.
** Though it's averted in ''Atlantis'', ''Beauty and the Beast'', ''Meet The Robinsons'', and ''The Great Mouse Detective''.
** And it's actually reversed in ''The Sword in the Stone''.
* CatsAreMean: Used, {{subverted}} and {{averted}}.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve
* ClassicVillain
* DarkerAndEdgier: Nearly all the films [[MoodWhiplash waver between whimsical and hauntingly dramatic]], however, ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' and ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' are frequently considered to have some of the grimmest story content in Disney's entire filmography.
** But the darkest is ''The Black Cauldron''.
** While ''Cauldron'' features animate skeletons and self-sacrifice, it doesn't quite touch on the darkness that was ''Hunchback''... which, as you remember, had an older man [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar lustfully sniff a young woman's hair and then singing about his uncontainable lust]].
* DealWithTheDevil: How Ursula from ''The Little Mermaid'', Hades from ''Hercules'', and Dr. Facillier from ''The Princess and the Frog'' all work. Is it telling that all these share the same directors?
* DeathByCameo
* DenserAndWackier: The tone of the films constantly vary, the majority of films made in the 1960s and early 1970s use a much more offbeat and wacky tone than usual however, with less drama and more comedic and sympathetic villains. ''TheRescuers'' began the return to more darker and earnest story telling (albeit with Disney's usual whimsy).
* EmpathyPet
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: [[DisneyPrincess TEN of 'em!]] (but there are exceptions).
* EvilIsHammy: with few exceptions
* EvilLaugh: Another thing many of the villains have in common.
* EvilMinions: Most of the Big Bads have at least one.
* EvilSorceror
* FairyCompanion
* FollowTheBouncingBall: The "Sing Along Songs" series.
* FurryConfusion
** CarnivoreConfusion, especially.
* GenreSavvy (Oftentimes one of the sidekicks to the hero or the villain will cater to this, and there have even been some main protagonists as well).
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: A lot of Disney queens are often portrayed as villains, especially in [[Disney/SnowWhiteandtheSevenDwarfs guess which film]]. Also, positive queens are either killed off early or shoved in the background.
** TheHighQueen: At the end of ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire''. Features the only princess that becomes a queen.
* TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin: Except maybe in [[spoiler:the "Ichabod" half of ''TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad''.]]
** None of the villains in ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' [[KarmaHoudini are ever punished]] -- Pinocchio just escapes from them. The loss of just one boy presumably not being significant, it can even be said that the Coachman won as far as his scheme went.
* HappilyEverAfter: Averted with both ''[[spoiler:The Fox and the Hound]]'' and ''[[spoiler:Pocahontas]]'', however.
* HeldGaze: Has been used in several of the romance-focused movies to imply the underlying {{UST}} of the characters. Notable films that use this trope are ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', and ''Disney/{{Tangled}}''.
* HumansAreBastards: Played with on several occasions such as in ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'', ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' or ''Disney/TheJungleBook''.
* KarmicDeath: Happens to many if not most of the villains.
* KnightOfCerebus: Though some may still be somewhat comedic, a lot of villains have a very menacing tone (especially in the earliest examples) and are responsible for a lot of MoodWhiplash away from Disney's usual whimsy. See NightmareFuel for their rather haunting effect on many audiences.
* LightIsGood and DarkIsEvil: Both tropes are played straight in most of the movies.
** [[DarkIsNotEvil In]][[LightIsNotGood verted]] in ''Beauty and the Beast'', ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', and ''Tarzan'', however.
* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: The "Black Diamond" Classics, the Masterpiece Collection, the Gold Collection, the Platinum Editions, and the Diamond Editions, all of these sets being released in a wide variety of home video formats, with VHS, DVD, Blu-ray and [=LaserDisc=] being the most popular. And of course, the Disney Vault that these all get shoved into if you don't buy them now!
** Special mention goes to the Masterpiece Collection, which included ''every'' VHS release at the time that was part of the Canon, including the stuff nobody remembers (like the compilation films) and the brand-new movies. From ''Tarzan'' on, they just put "Walt Disney Pictures Presents" on new releases.
* LoveAtFirstSight
* MarryForLove
* MisplacedWildlife
* [[NeverASelfMadeWoman Never A Self-Made Hero]]: Surprisingly often, the hero (of either gender) or heroes have a connection to a relative who is greatly revered (in most cases, a royal parent; but in other cases, [[Disney/{{Mulan}} a war hero dad]] or [[Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire a reknown scientist grandfather]] will do just as well.
** Only a handful Disney movies subvert or avert this trope. In some examples, [[Disney/{{Pocahontas}} John Smith]] (explorer), [[Disney/TheBlackCauldron Taran]] (pigkeeper/peasant) and all main characters of ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' (soldier, son of a gypsy, gypsy performer) are self made heroes.
* NonHumanSidekick: Most of the human main characters and/or their love interests have one, as do some human villains.
** And the ''animals''.
** Averted in ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire'', however.
* OneWingedAngel: Their use of this trope is only surpassed by SquareEnix.
* ParentalAbandonment
** DisappearedDad
** MissingMom
* PeriodPiece: Most of the films in the canon take place at some time in the past. Only ten films are set in ThePresentDay of when they were made: ''Disney/{{Dumbo}}'' (which is dated only by the modern-ish train car at the end), ''Disney/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'', ''Disney/TheRescuers'', ''Disney/OliverAndCompany'', ''Disney/TheRescuersDownUnder'', ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', ''Disney/ChickenLittle'', ''Disney/MeetTheRobinsons'', ''Disney/{{Bolt}}'', and ''Disney/WreckItRalph''. Well, ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'' and ''TheLionKing'' take place in an unknown time period, and ''Treasure Planet'' is set in a constructed universe.
* PluckyComicRelief
* ThePowerOfFriendship
* ThePowerOfLove
* PublicDomainCharacter
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: But there are a few exceptions.
* RunningGag: RecycledTheSeries, as well as importing (usually faster-paced) songs to serve as theme songs for the same.
* SceneryPorn
* StockFootage (see [[http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1906578 this video]] for examples, with ''Disney/RobinHood'' being the worst offender).
* StorybookOpening: TropeMaker.
* TalkingAnimal
* {{Timeskip}}: Several movies in the canon started adopting this measure beginning in the Disney Renaissance period, and continuing to this day. It got really egregious during the height of the Disney Renaissance period, when films like ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' and ''Disney/{{Tarzan}}'' would have two or more timeskips within the expanse of a 3-minute song.
* TrainingMontage
* VileVillainSaccharineShow
** Even less so with its more mature films, however.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Two books have been written on the subject, ''The Disney [[StealthPun That]] [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Never Was]]'' and ''Disney Lost and Found'' (focusing on My Peoples and Wild Life specifically alongside deleted segments from completed works.)
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: There are things that anthropomorphic animals do in ''OliverAndCompany'', ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'', and ''TheLionKing'' that Disney would ''never'' allow in human portrayal.
** WhatMeasureIsANonCute
* WhiteMagic
