They were either produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Disney Television Animation, and/or Disneytoon Studios, and the majority are sequels or spin-offs of Walt Disney Animation Studios films (not being part of the Disney Animated Canon[2]). Most of the sequels are notorious for their negative reception.
