The Walt Disney Pictures logo is the production logo appearing at the beginning of films released by Walt Disney Pictures.

Overview
The logo almost always features a fairytale castle directly inspired by Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle and the Magic Kingdom's Cinderella Castle. It has undergone several changes since its introduction.

Some films feature a variation of the logo to match the film's theme and tone.

The main production logo most often features a fanfare based on an arrangement of "When You Wish Upon a Star" from the 1940 animated feature, Pinocchio.

Variations
Since the late 90s, other variations of the standard Walt Disney Pictures logo were released. Most movies have their own variation of the logo, with the standard "Walt Disney Pictures", later as simply "Disney", written in Walt Disney's famous handwriting and the castle featured in a setting that represents a particular movie. By 2014 and onward, these variations were also featured in trailers.
