List of Walt Disney Studios films (1980–1989)

This article is about a broader list of Disney films produced by all studios owned by the Walt Disney Studios during their initial release. For a list of films only released under the Disney banner, see List of Walt Disney Pictures films.

This is a list of films produced and distributed by the U.S. film studio Walt Disney Studios, one of the Walt Disney Company's divisions and one of the "Big Five" major film studios. The list includes films produced or released by all existing and defunct labels or subsidiaries of the Walt Disney Studios; including Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, Disneynature, Touchstone Pictures, and Hollywood Pictures. The list does include films produced by studios that are now owned by Disney (as part of acquisitions), but were historically distributed by Disney during their original, initial time of release.

All films listed are theatrical releases by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution unless specified.
