Created by digital artist Eowyn ‘theantilove’ Smith: a map of the geographical locations of 44 Disney and 13 Pixar films from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (1937) to Frozen (2013).

Full image and key here.

Unmappable films like Wall-E and Monsters Inc appear in an inset. Elsewhere, following furious pedantry on Reddit and DeviantArt, Smith clarifies:

1. Movie was placed based on the location IMPLIED IN THE DISNEY/PIXAR VERSION
2. If the movie was too vague to determine a location, the original story/myth was consulted.
