How many animated Disney films are there?

It's tricky to give an exact number for "animated Disney films" because it depends on how you define it. Here's a breakdown:

Traditional Hand-Drawn Animation:

* Walt Disney Animation Studios: There are 59 feature-length animated films officially released by Walt Disney Animation Studios, from *Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs* (1937) to *Strange World* (2022).

* Disneytoon Studios: This studio produced direct-to-video sequels and original films, totaling 38 animated films.

Computer Animation:

* Pixar: Disney owns Pixar, and their films are considered Disney animated films. Pixar has released 26 feature-length animated films since *Toy Story* (1995).

* Blue Sky Studios: Disney owned Blue Sky Studios, which made films like *Ice Age* and *Rio*. They produced 13 animated films.

Other Factors:

* Live-action/Animation Hybrids: Films like *Beauty and the Beast* and *The Lion King* are considered animated, but they also have live-action elements.

* Short Films: Disney has produced countless animated shorts over the years, some of which are very well known.

* International Films: Disney has distributed many animated films from other countries, but these are not typically considered "Disney animated films" in the same way.

In Conclusion:

There's no single, definitive answer to how many animated Disney films there are. Depending on your definition, the number could be anywhere from 59 (Walt Disney Animation Studios only) to over 130.
