Walt Disney Pictures 1985

Although in 1989 and 1990, Disney switched most of their animation to using digital ink-and-paint animation via CAPS (Computer Animation Production System), this logo (along with Disney-produced animated programs made for TV) still used traditional cel animation, even though two computerized variants were introduced in 1995 and 2002. Even after 1995, this logo still used production cels painted by hand throughout the late 1990s and into the mid-2000s. Disney last used the production cels for this logo in a theatrical trailer for the 2005 movie Chicken Little. The hand-painted cels for this logo looked pretty outdated and cheap by this time.

2006–2012

Walt Disney Pictures logo

In 2006, Walt Disney Pictures started using a new intro with a new CGI animation with a very complex depiction of the Sleeping Beauty Castle/Cinderella Castle and its surroundings. It was a clear change from the old blue and white intro with its stylized castle and 2D animation.

The new intro was first used on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, which premiered in the United States on July 7, 2006. The first Pixar movie to feature this logo was WALL-E.

If you watch a Disney movie in 3-D and see this logo, "WALT DISNEY" will zoom in.

Starting with the release of The Muppets, "WALT" and "PICTURES" have been removed from the logo, shorten into "Disney". This was used before 2011 as the on-screen logo for Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment starting in 2007.
