* SequelGap: All franchises in the series are hit with this, due to how long it's been since the Creator/DisneytoonStudios days. The shortest gap is the seven years between ''WesternAnimation/DisneyPrincessEnchantedTalesFollowYourDreams'' and ''{{Film/Maleficent}}''. If direct-to-video spin-offs don't count, then the shortest gap is the 22 years between the [[{{WesternAnimation/Mulan}} 1998]] and [[Film/Mulan2020 2020]] versions of ''Mulan''. The longest gap is the 78 years between the [[{{WesternAnimation/Dumbo}} 1941]] and [[Film/Dumbo2019 2019]] versions of ''Dumbo'', which never had any direct-to-video spin-offs.[[note]]Although ''Dumbo II'' was nearly made in 2001.[[/note]]

* CashCowFranchise: ''Film/{{Beauty and the Beast|2017}}'', ''Film/{{Aladdin|2019}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|2019}}'' have grossed over $1 billion each at the worldwide box office[[labelnote:*]]as did ''Film/{{Alice in Wonderland|2010}}'', if you count it[[/labelnote]], and ''Film/{{The Jungle Book|2016}}'' ended up pretty close. ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'' was big enough of a hit (over $750 million) to warrant a [[Film/MaleficentMistressOfEvil sequel]]. Even with the other films being modest-to-OK grossers and some releases going straight-to-streaming on Creator/DisneyPlus (and probably a lot more of them in the future due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic), the trend shows no sign of stopping and has become a {{flagship|Franchise}} film franchise in its own right for Disney alongside the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, ''Franchise/StarWars'', the [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Animated Canon]] and Creator/{{Pixar}}.
