But Disney financed and distributed Tron. It wasn't made by a Disney Studio, and most of the animation was outsourced to a Taiwanese studio because Disney wouldn't lend any of their own talent. So I think it's fair to say that Oliver & Company is the first Disney-made film to use CGI.

The Great Mouse Detective (1986) was earlier and the ending sequence is CG (printed out and traced onto cels so traditional 2D characters could be drawn on top).

  That's a good point. What's funny is that "The Great Mouse Detective" was actually the film I was thinking of this whole time - I believe the ending sequence took place in Big Ben, and it looks quite good by 2024 standards. But I forgot the name of the movie and assumed it was "Oliver & Company" because Oliver is a plausible name for an English mouse :)
