Walt Disney Studios (division)
Walt Disney Productions began production of their first feature-length animated film in 1934. Taking three years to complete, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", premiered in December 1937 and became the highest-grossing film of that time by 1939. In the 1940s, Disney began experimenting with full-length live-action films, with the introduction of hybrid live action-animated films such as "The Reluctant Dragon" (1941) and "Song of the South" (1946). That same decade, the studio began producing nature documentaries with the release of "Seal Island" (1948), the first of the "True-Life Adventures" series and a subsequent Academy Award winner for Best Live-Action Short Film.
