In 1937, the Walt Disney Studios released its first fully animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, this included colour picture and synchronized sound and pioneered a new form of family amusement, this animated film was not just attracted by children, adults were entertained and amazed by this as it was the first film which anyone had seen in colour. More than seven decades later, Walt Disney Animation Studios continues to honor its heritage through animated films that combine beautiful artistry, masterful storytelling and groundbreaking technology. Walt Disney have made up to 51 animated films since 1937 to 2012.

Steamboat Willie is a 1928 American animated short film directed by Walk Disney and Ub Iwerks. It was formed in black and white by The Walt Disney Studio and released by Celebrity Productions. The animated cartoon considered the introduction of Mickey Mouse and his girlfriend Minnie, both characters had appeared some months earlier in test screenings. Steamboat Willie was the third of Mickeys films to be produced however was the first to be distributed. This film was notable for being one of the first cartoon series with synchronized sound; it was also the first cartoon to feature a fully post-produced soundtrack.
However Steamboat Willie was not the first cartoon with synchronized sound. Dave and Max Fleischer's Inkwell Studios had earlier produced seven sound cartoons, part of the Song Car-Tunes which started in May 1924, Yet the Song Car-Tunes failed to keep the sound fully synchronized, while Steamboat Willie was produced using a click track to keep his musicians on the beat. As little as one month before Steamboat Willie was released, Paul Terry's released Dinner Time, which also used a soundtrack, but Dinner Time was not a financial success, which puts Steamboat Willie at the top of all of them.
Cel animation, short for celluloid, is a transparent sheet on which objects are drawn or painted for traditional, hand-drawn animation. Actual celluloid  was used during the first half of the 20th century, but since it was flammable and dimensionally unstable it was largely replaced by cellulose acetate. With the advent of computer assisted animation production, the use of cels has been practically abandoned in major productions. Disney studios stopped using cels in 1990 when Computer Animation Production System (CAPS) replaced this element in their animation process.

In 1940, not long after Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs was released Walt Disney announced its new film to be released call Pinocchio directed by Ben Sharpsteen and Haniliton .
Here is a small synopsis of the film:
Lonely toymaker Geppetto has his wishes answered when the Blue Fairy arrives to bring his wooden puppet Pinocchio to life. Before becoming a real boy, however, Pinocchio must prove he's worthy as he sets off on an adventure with his whistling sidekick and conscience, Jiminy Cricket. From Stromboli's circus to Pleasure Island, Pinocchio is tested by many temptations, but slowly learns how to navigate right from wrong. With a few mishaps along the way, Geppetto's "little woodenhead" finally gets it right, proving that when you wish upon a star dreams really can come true!

Technicolor is a color motion picture process invented in 1916 and then improved over several decades. It was the second main process, after Britain's Kinemacolor, and the most broadly used color process in Hollywood from 1922 to 1952. Technicolor became known and celebrated for its saturated levels of color, and was used most commonly for filming musicals such as The Wizard of Oz and Singin' in the Rain, costume pictures such as The Adventures of Robin Hood and Joan of Arc, and animated films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Fantasia. Since then Technicolor has improved majorly and is even used in less extravagant dramas and comedies, so even to this day Technicolor is still being used.
