Walt Disney being credited as a producer.
So if it says "A Walt Disney Production" he gets a credit as a producer or is this more of a Company name.
If so does he still get credit for the films that show "A Walt Disney Production" even after his death.

I fully admit to not understanding crew credits rules... but how it sounds to me... a company credit so no credit. Though I would wait to see what others thinks.

I would have to agree, a production company credit is not a crew credit.  Just as in this example the company name may not reflect a producer that worked on the film

Here is the 'Credited As' from the crew chart:  "A [name] Production (excluding company names)"

Walt Disney is an odd duck as it is both the name of the producer as well as the company.  For films/shows that were produced while he was alive, I think he can be entered as producer...even though he may not have been the producer.  For films/shows that were produced after his death, I don't think he can be entered as it is obvious he didn't produce them.

In this case, I think you're talking about Mary Poppins. The movie was produced in 1964 and Walt didn't die until 1966, so I think we should use him as the producer, and because there is no other producer listed.

Now that would be "Donald" but I guess that a "TheMadMartian" would like it to be "Daffy"!

If it is important, say it. Otherwise, let silence speak.
