The Buena Vista Motion Pictures Group is a collection of affiliated motion picture studios, all subsidaries of The Walt Disney Company. It includes;
and flagship label
The name Buena Vista comes from the much older company Buena Vista Distribution, a company founded by Walt Disney as a subsidary to distribute his films in 1955. That name in turn came from the street name in Burbank where the Walt Disney Studios were, and still exist today.
The President of the Group is Nina Jacobson, who with the President of the Buena Vista Music Group, reports to Alan Braverman, Senior Executive Vice President of The Walt Disney Company.
In 2002, Walt Disney Pictures made headlines as they made their first ever PG-13 certificate film, Pirates of the Caribbean, a movie based on a Disneyland attraction. Although Miramax, Touchstone, et cetera, have made films with certificates as high as NC-17, Walt Disney Pictures has always remained traditional family-orientated, although Pirates of the Caribbean is quite mild.
