Walt Disney was an absolute visionary, and seeing his work still brings magic to people every day. One of his most-loved media was the feature film, and between Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Disney’s death, he had a hand in many.

Fast forward to today. We still love the works of Walt, and now, many of the original Walt-era Disney films are available on Disney+. Did someone say Walt marathon?
Here’s every feature film on Disney+ that Walt had a hand in.
1937-1946
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released in 1937 as the first-ever animated feature film.

A few years later, Disney repeated the innovation with the release of Pinocchio in 1940.

From then on, animation became the main focus of the Disney company. The controversial classic Fantasia was released later the same year.

Next up, the world came to know and love an adorable circus elephant in the 1941 flick, Dumbo.

If you can’t get enough of Donald, Panchito, and José, The Three Caballeros from 1944 is on Disney+ too!

Sometimes Walt Disney Studios made full-length films out of many animated shorts such as with Fun and Fancy Free in 1947.

A legend is born! Disney+, of course, wouldn’t be complete without the iconic Cinderella from 1950.

Though Disney’s focus was on animation, some truly lovable live-action films came out of Walt’s time too! The first you can spot on Disney+ with Treasure Island from 1950.

The final decade of Walt’s life was a busy one for the mogul, and it all kicked off with another iconic princess movie. Sleeping Beauty debuted in 1959.

Disney+ is also home to the fun and fantastical musical, Babes in Toyland!
![](https://allears.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Babes-in-Toyland.jpg)
Almost Angels is basically High School Musical if Troy Bolton’s dad was an engineer and the Spring Musical was the Vienna Boys Choir. Ok, maybe not, but it’s still a great film.

A criminally underrated classic comes in the form of The Sword in the Stone. You can definitely tell this icon has the Walt touch.
![](https://allears.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/The-Sword-in-the-Stone.jpg)
