Touchstone's fate was officially sealed on December 14, 2017, when Disney announced it would buy [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios 20th Century Fox]] and a number of other Fox properties from [[Creator/{{Fox}} 21st Century Fox]], the media group controlled by UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch; the deal, which closed on March 20, 2019, gave Disney a permanent foothold in the mature film market while rendering the Touchstone brand superfluous (Disney had an exclusive license to the 20th Century Fox trademarks until early 2020, after which it had to drop the "Fox" name from all of its Fox properties).

After the loss of the Fox license, Disney rebranded Fox 21 Television Studios (a sibling of the former 20th Century Fox Television, now 20th Television) by reviving the Creator/TouchstoneTelevision name for that studio, marking the first time since 2016 that Disney has used the Touchstone name...[[HistoryRepeats only to be retired after four months]] and absorbed into 20th Television.

Touchstone Pictures was a distribution label (or "banner" in Disney-speak) created and owned by [[Creator/{{Disney}} The Walt Disney Company]], which released films aimed for more mature audiences than the Disney branded fare.

Beginning in 1979, when they released ''Film/TheBlackHole'', Disney had begun making numerous PG-rated adult and teenage-oriented films such as ''Film/{{TRON}}'', ''Never Cry Wolf'', ''Trenchcoat'' and ''Film/TheDevilAndMaxDevlin'' (the latter two of which caused an media uproar [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids over their subject material in a Disney film]]) to remain competitive in the market of live action movies. But none of their efforts were commercially successful. It was as if the Disney name was more of a burden than an asset with large segments of potential audiences, as Disney had been for the longest time [[AnimationAgeGhetto associated with G-rated family-friendly fare]] such as WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse cartoons and ''Film/TheLoveBug''. Then-CEO Ron Miller (son-in-law of the late Creator/WaltDisney) announced in 1984 the creation of Touchstone Films (as it was then called) as a new label to 1) protect the wholesome family-friendly image of the Disney name and 2) to remain commercially relevant.
