What was the last Disney movie with smoking?

The last Disney-produced movies to include smoking imagery were ?Ant-Man? and ?Iron Man 3,? both of which were released in 2015, according to the Smoke Free Movies database.



Determining the "last" Disney movie with smoking is nuanced due to a total ban on smoking in Disney-branded films (including Marvel, Pixar, and Lucasfilm) enacted in 2015. Historically, smoking was common in classics like Alice in Wonderland (the Caterpillar's hookah) and 101 Dalmatians (Cruella's cigarette holder). One of the last major animated features to prominently feature smoking characters was "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" (2001), where the characters Packard and Vinny are frequently seen with cigarettes. In the live-action realm, "Saving Mr. Banks" (2013) featured Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, who was a lifelong smoker; however, the film notably did not show him actually smoking on screen, only coughing or holding an unlit cigarette to adhere to the company's evolving image. Since the 2015 ban, smoking is strictly prohibited in all Disney films rated G, PG, and PG-13, with rare exceptions only for "historical accuracy" or the depiction of "detrimental consequences." This is why even a character like the Hookah Caterpillar in the 2010 live-action Alice in Wonderland remake was one of the final instances of "smoking" being part of a character's iconic design.
