About
This dataset contains details of 579 Disney films released by Walt Disney Studios between 1937 and 2016 [1]. It provides a valuable resource for understanding the financial performance of these iconic movies, including their total gross income both nominally and adjusted for inflation [1, 2]. From the debut film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to more recent releases, this collection allows for in-depth analysis of box office success over nearly eight decades [1].
Columns
- movie_title: The name of the movie. There are 573 unique movie titles in the dataset [3].
- release_date: The date the movie was released. Dates range from 21st December 1937 to 16th December 2016 [3, 4].
- genre: The genre classification of the movie. "Comedy" accounts for 31% and "Adventure" for 22% of the films, with 12 unique genres identified [4].
- mpaa_rating: The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rating assigned to the movie. "PG" is the most common rating at 32%, followed by "PG-13" at 25%, across 5 unique ratings [5].
- total_gross: The total gross income generated by the movie in nominal terms. The mean total gross is 64.7 million, with the highest reaching 937 million [2, 5].

Distribution
The dataset is typically available as a CSV file, named
disney_movies_total_gross.csv, and is approximately 33.96 kB in size [3, 6]. It comprises 579 records and six columns, providing a structured overview of Disney's film catalogue and their financial success [1, 3].Usage
This dataset is ideally suited for analysing historical box office trends and the financial impact of Disney films [1]. It can be used for:
- Data visualisation: Creating charts and graphs to illustrate revenue patterns over time or across genres [3].
- Exploratory data analysis: Identifying correlations between movie attributes (like genre or rating) and financial performance [3].
- Market research: Understanding the longevity and inflation-adjusted value of film earnings [2].
- Academic studies: Researching the evolution of the film industry and Disney's role within it [1].
Coverage
The dataset's time range spans from 21st December 1937 to 16th December 2016 [1, 4]. It includes films released by Walt Disney Studios [1]. While the gross income figures reflect global performance, the geographic scope is inherently tied to the distribution and box office performance of a major American film studio.
