I like to ask questions. One of the questions that I like to ask is: What is your favorite Disney movie? It really isn't a hard question to answer, but, regardless, I find myself getting answers such as these: Anastasia, The Swan Princess, Thumbelina, All Dogs Go to Heaven, The Iron Giant, and Shark Tail. Well, if you're one of those Disney buffs like my entire family is, then you'd know that not a single one of these movies is actually Disney. Nope. Not one of them. And then, whenever I ask them: Are you sure that's Disney? Then I get answers such as these: "Oh yeah, no I think Anastasia is actually Pixar" or "No, Toy Story is definitely NOT Pixar" or "Shark Tail? Oh wait, isn't that Pixar?" I guess you could make it a valid argument that whatever is Pixar is Disney also, but with every answer that I got it was never Disney in the first place.
I mean, come on people! It is really not that hard to tell the difference between Disney and Not Disney or Pixar/Disney and NOT Pixar/Disney. Well, due to so many common misconceptions I have constructed a list of NOT DISNEY MOVIES. Some of these I myself was a little surprised at. I had just never really thought about who produced it. Well, here I go. If I have left any out please, do not hesitate to add them!
NOT DISNEY:
*Anastasia - Fox Animation Studios
*The Swan Princess - Nest Family Entertainment (but it was directed by an ex-disney animation director named Richard Rich.)
*Thumbelina - Golden Films
*The Iron Giant - Warner Bros. Animation
*Balto - Universal Pictures
*All Dogs Go to Heaven - actually a United Artists Entertainment Film
*An American Tail - Amblin Entertainment
*Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron -Dreamworks
*Land Before Time Series - Amblin Entertainment
*Shark Tail - Dreamworks
And for those of you who are just curious, Pixar has made a total of nine feature films: Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, and Wall-E. Their 10th film, Up, is set for release on May 29, 2009 and will be the first Pixar film presented in Disney Digital 3-D. Their 11th film, Toy Story 3, is set for release around June 18th, 2010; soon to be followed by 'Newt' (summer 2011), 'The Bear and the Bow' (winter 2011), and 'Cars 2' (summer 2012).

humm The Bear and the Bow? I have never heard of it. By the way I love how you included your family in your blog. We are definately movie freaks. :) I love you Julia Keep writing!!!
haha, I know I have a lame sense of humor, but really, the fact that the "swan" princess is produced by "nest" family entertainment, haha...
Interesting to note that
The Secret of NIMH
An American Tail
The Land Before Time
All Dogs Go To Heaven
Thumbelina
and Anastasia
were all done by Don Bluth, an ex-Disney animator. He left Disney with a handful of other animators and set out to make their own movies. That would account for much of the similarity in style and quality so it is easy for people to mistake Don's work as "Disney".
Don worked on such Disney movies as
Sleeping Beauty
The Sword in the Stone
Robin Hood
The Rescuers
Winnie the Pooh
Pete's Dragon
and The Fox and the Hound
Even more interesting is that Don earned a bachelors degree in English Literature from BYU!
Incase you were wondering...Disney OWNS Pixar animation studios. And somewhere (if you look it up) you'll find out that Disney owns a but-load of film-making companies that you'd NEVER have ever guessed. But Pixar is a given...and HOLY COW! I can't believe you know the future release of all the Pixar movies...I'm like totally stoked now!
