'Grand Canyon' is a 1958 American short documentary film directed by James Algar and produced by Walt Disney Productions. The film producer was Ernst Heiniger, assisted by his wife Jeanne. It was shown as a supplement during 'Sleeping Beauty's' initial run. The short won an Oscar at the 31st Academy Awards in 1959 for Best Short Subject (Live Action). It is also included as a bonus feature on the 1997 laserdisc, 2003 DVD, and 2008 DVD & Blu-ray releases of 'Sleeping Beauty'.

According to the opening credits, 'Grand Canyon' is "a pictorial interpretation of Ferde Grof's 'Grand Canyon Suite'", much as the animated segments in 'Fantasia' are pictorial representations of music, and the film is strongly related to its soundtrack. 'Grand Canyon' is one of Walt Disney's more unconventional and experimental works, as it has musical accompaniment, but no dialogue or narration.
