  • Fireball (Disney) – A Japan-exclusive CGI anime series.

  • Disney Villains – A franchise based on Disney's popular villainous characters. (There isn't a known establishing year for this franchise, so it's positioned here based on the release of the book The Disney Villain, which was written by Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas and released in 1993.)
  • Runaway Brain – A rather dark Mickey Mouse cartoon released in 1995 about Mickey getting his brain swapped with that of a monster's.
  • Disney Princess – A franchise based on Disney's popular princess characters that officially began in 2000.

  • The Ballad of Nessie – A 2011 traditionally animated short film about the Loch Ness Monster.
  • Get a Horse! – A 2013 animated short film that initially seems like a long lost 1920s Mickey Mouse cartoon, until Pete knocks Mickey into the modern era.

  • Feast (Disney) – A 2014 3D computer-cel animated romantic comedy short film about a Boston Terrier named Winston who gorges on junk food while his owner develops a relationship with a waitress.
Acquired

They became part of Disney when the animation studio's parent 20th Century Fox (renamed 20th Century Studios in January 2020) was acquired in 2019. This tag will currently remain separate from Disney for consistency purposes until further notice.
  • The Simpsons – The longest-running American scripted primetime television series featuring the titular dysfunctional family of the same name. Created by Matt Groening, it started as a series of shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show running from April 1987 to May 1989, before becoming an independent series in December 1989. The series and its franchise became part of Disney when they acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019. The Simpsons will remain separately tagged from Disney for consistency purposes.
