Established in 1984, its releases typically feature more mature themes and darker tones than those that are released under the Walt Disney Pictures banner.

- Touchstone Pictures is a brand from Disney which releases more adult oriented films. Since 1979, when they released The Black Hole, Disney had begun making numerous adult-oriented films (albeit none of them getting above a PG rating). The public was shocked, as Disney had been for the longest time associated with family-friendly fare that never got above a G rating. They knew how badly the success of their films had been affected as a result, so then-CEO Roger Miller made Touchstone Films (as it was then called), an alternate adult brand. Beginning with Splash, Touchstone became Disney's go-to brand for adult-oriented films that weren't borderline porn (Disney, like the other major studios, still refuses to distribute any NC-17 rated film, regardless of the brand).

Established on Wednesday 15 February 1984 by then-Disney CEO Ron W Miller as Touchstone FIlms. Its releases are typically more adult orientated than those under the Disney label, although the features, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and The Nightmare Before Christmas, which used to be released under the Touchstone banner, are now considered as "Disney" movies (the former featured Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and many other Disney characters, though it also featured characters from other studios while the latter was featured in the Kingdom Hearts series: a Disney/Square Enix video game crossover and the latter was released under Walt Disney Pictures upon its theatrical re-release in 2007). Another Touchstone film Reign of Fire may also considered as a "Disney" movie. Touchstone Pictures merely serves as a brand, not a distinct business operation, and did not exist as a separate company. Their most commercially successful production partners in later years were Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Caravan Pictures. Summit Entertainment, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Universal Pictures, Icon Productions, Imagine Entertainment, Mandeville Films, Focus Features Spyglass Entertainment, and DreamWorks Pictures. The origins of Touchstone Pictures can be traced to the 1979 release of The Black Hole, a science fiction film that sparked controversy due to the fact that it was the first Disney film to receive a PG rating (although Disney had already distributed its first PG rated film, Take Down, without the Disney name visible). Over the next few years, Disney experimented with more PG-rated fare, such as the 1981 film Condorman, 1982's Tron and 1983's Trenchcoat. The latter film attracted major criticism for including adult themes that were considered inappropriate for a Disney film. The controversy over Trenchcoat is generally considered the catalyst that sparked the creation of Touchstone Pictures. One title considered for the new company was "Hyperion Pictures," named after the location of the studio in the 1930s before the move to Burbank. Ironically, some critics complained that the creation of Touchstone in order to distribute more adult content was itself inappropriate for Disney. Founded by Disney CEO Ron W. Miller in 1984, Touchstone's first release was Splash, a huge hit for the studio. The film included brief nudity on the part of star Daryl Hannah and adult language. The unit become a top source of income for Disney during the 1980s. Touchstone/Disney's first R-rated film, Down and Out in Beverly Hills, came in January 1986 and was another smash. Ruthless People followed in April of 1986 and was also huge. One example of a recent release is Signs (2002). The studio's sister company, ABC Studios currently produces the smash hits Alias Desperate Housewives and Lost, as well as Scrubs. On 9 February 2009, Dreamworks Pictures entered a long-term deal with Walt Disney Pictures by which the next films made by Dreamworks would be released through the Touchstone banner from 2011 to 2016. However, in September 2015, it was announced that the contract with Disney would expire in 2016, as DreamWorks signs a contract with Universal Pictures. The last film from the DreamWorks-Disney contract would be The Light Between Oceans. As of 21 September 2016, the label's fate now seems uncertain and is likely inactive.

At first, Touchstone was by far Disney's most-used brand that wasn't Disney itself. However, with the Pirates of the Caribbean series (the first film being the first actual Disney movie to get a PG-13 rating), the line between Disney and Touchstone territory began to blur, and Touchstone became more pigeonholed. However, as long as Disney doesn't make any R rated films by itself, Touchstone shouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon. As of 2011, Disney has been releasing live action films from DreamWorks though Touchstone.
