Feature

Scope Note:

Work, usually originally released theatrically or direct to video, with an original length of at least forty minutes (or four or more 35 mm. reels). Note: Feature length work originally presented on television usually has a longer running time, from 90 minutes to three hours in length (including commercials); use the term Television feature when such a work is not part of a regular television series or mini-series, and is not a special. For a work derived from a television series, but re-edited as a feature for theatrical release, use the form feature (such as the features DAVY CROCKETT--KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER and DAVY CROCKETT AND THE RIVER PIRATES from the Walt Disney television mini-series DAVY CROCKETT). For a work originally presented on television in some countries while first released theatrically in other countries, use the term appropriate to the copy in hand.
