Disney first entered the public consciousness with its groundbreaking animated feature films like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Pinocchio, and steadily built a reputation as one of the worlds most beloved film studios, often basing its animated movies on classic fairytales and childrens fantasy books. Disneys first foray into the sci-fi genre was its live-action adaptation of the classic Jules Verne novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea way back in 1954. Since, Disney has dived in and out of the genre to varying levels of success.
