Touchstone Pictures was an American film production label of Walt Disney Studios, founded on February 15, 1984, and owned by The Walt Disney Company. Feature films released under the Touchstone label were produced and financed by Walt Disney Studios and featured more mature themes targeted toward adult audiences than typical Walt Disney Pictures films. As such, Touchstone was merely an in-name-only brand of the studio and did not exist as a distinct business operation. Established on February 15, 1984, by then-Disney CEO Ron W. Miller as Touchstone Films, Touchstone operated as an active film production division of Disney during the 1980s through the early 2010s, releasing a majority of the studio's PG-13 and R-rated films. In 2009, Disney entered into a five-year, thirty-picture distribution deal with DreamWorks Pictures by which DreamWorks' productions would be released through the Touchstone banner; the label then distributed DreamWorks' films from 2011 to 2016. Following the release of The Light Between Oceans, Touchstone Pictures went defunct in 2017, after 33 years in operation.

The two icons decide to cross the bridge between companies and bring the magic back! Meanwhile, two successful CEOs of both companies are revealed to be far more complicated than ruthless businessmen. They entered the industry because of their shared love of cartoons and movies and have struggled to make everyone happy but by following demands by the system they ended up causing more problems for the audience. An alliance is formed not to destroy the studios they helped build, but to remind them why audiences fell in love with cartoons and movies in the first place.
