Which 1967 Disney film was the final animated feature personally overseen by Walt Disney?

Disney’s 1967 animated film The Jungle Book was the final animated feature personally overseen by Walt Disney.

Disney died in December 1966, before the film’s theatrical release, but he had been involved in its development and production. The movie therefore became the last animated feature released after his direct personal supervision of a project.

The production was shaped by Disney’s interest in keeping the film humorous and accessible. He encouraged the filmmakers to emphasize character comedy and songs, helping distinguish the movie from a darker, more literal adaptation of Kipling’s stories.

The Aristocats followed in 1970 and is often mistakenly identified as Disney’s final animated feature. It was the first animated feature released after The Jungle Book, but not the last one personally overseen by Walt Disney.
