Il était une fois un studio

I think this is what everyone wanted without knowing it. If you don't believe me, check the rating.

From Snow White to Asha, characters from every Disney era are involved in this special, and this special looks back at everything Disney has ever done. It reminds you of the magic and happiness Disney had brought you and all the magic and happiness it will continue to bring you... I hope the Walt Disney company is around for another 100 years.

Thank you Disney. You've really gone to infinity and beyond with this one. Thank you for reading my review, and I'm so glad that it's on Disney+ because I didn't get to catch it on TV last night (or October 15 2023 if you read this in the future).

It was a great short. Left me teary eyed especially after the nod to Walt.

To have all the characters together both 2d and 3d is incredible.

I also liked how they reused dialogue from the films but mixed it with new ones.

The fact that those who are still with us came back to voice their characters for like a couple of seconds or more of dialogue is phenomenal.

I was surprised and glad to see characters from Disney's flops like treasure planet and Atlantis.

There's much to love and it's filled with nostalgia.

Thank you Disney for finally giving the audience something it wants and didn't know it wanted it.

I loved everything about it, it's a very magical experience.

A short made the celebrate the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney Studios, Once Upon a Studio is a neat short film that is more respectful to the company's past than most of their current offerings.

In the short, after the studio closes up for the day, Mickey gets the other animated characters from Disney films up to this point to do a group photo for the occasion. That's basically it, as characters from almost every Disney animated classic, be they drawn traditional, computer animated, or even done in Flash, joins in on this celebration.

Seeing this, I am amazed that Disney would do something that gives respect to their legacy (especially in a time when they are trying to bury it by making live-action remakes of their animated classics. They even went the extra mile to make sure all the voice actors are in their roles, either the right ones, the ones who took over for the past actors, or even archival recordings (they even went as far as to get Robin Williams' estate to okay using unused dialogue for Genie, which adds to the nostalgia factor). This is a charming special that actually decides to be respectful and have plenty of neat in-character gags instead of the usual problems that plague Disney's films today, and it makes me think if Disney could make more stuff like this, maybe it would get back to being a good studio one day.

This was such a cute short, remembering all the Disney Classics to now thank you Walt Disney, and to all who made it possible Walt Disney will always be in my heart and the picture came out very lovely and to see Oswald there as well. This is truly one of the best shorts in the world and plus what a wonderful reunion to the Walt Disney animation studio happy 100 years and hope for many more to come. And the Disney animators. Including Pixar thank you for all you've done. Here's to wishing for many more dreams and wishes coming true. If you miss the Disney animation, then the short is just for you.

I'm so overwhelmed with emotions as I write this review just after watching this short. What a beautiful way to pay to tribute to Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney in general. Seeing all the characters from Snow White to Asha holding hands and singing together, interacting with one another and by the time the short ends I was moved to tears. Every frame contains Nostalgia and all those beautiful memories we had watching these beloved characters on screen. The fact that most of the original voice actors came back to record their respective lines is so amazing. It's just one BIG happy family which makes everyone smile and create sweet memories that are going to be cherished forever. Thank you so much Walt Disney for such a precious gift.

That's all I have to say about Once Upon a Studio. This is not just a short but nostalgia and emotions all coming together to create a beautiful 9 minutes tribute. If you're a Disney fan then you'll definitely cry watching it.
