Featured reviews
Love it or hate it, but the truth is that Disney is something that has happened, is, and will happen in everyone's life. It is a studio that has produced truly outstanding work in the field of animation and cartoons. Even though it was a short animation, it was enjoyable. The subject is fine, but the main thing is the intention. A period of 100 years, a century. This has occurred throughout our lives-in our childhood, adolescence, and youth-and will continue in our later years. I think it was emotional to watch. Having your favorite Disney characters pose for a picture was a brilliant idea....
Growing up back in the 90's, I've been very fond of Disney especially in terms of animation. Many of their films I consider to be good/great (The Lion King being one of them considering it was during my childhood) even if some aren't quite my favorites. But when I heard that the studio was releasing an 100 anniversary short, I became very happy and watched it on Disney+ today. To my surprise, it filled me with complete nostalgia.
Not only was it hilarious and cute, but it's also a great loving tribute to the studio and Walt Disney himself. The way it blends both 2D hand drawn and 3D CG animation, it's reuse of old archive dialogue while creating new ones, the way it incorporates other characters from other Disney films (including the ones from particular flops like The Black Cauldron), and the new rendition of When You Wish Upon A Star that's sung very well.
Overall, this will go down as one of my favorite shorts in Disney history. If you love Disney animation certainly check this one out and you'll have the same nostalgia as I did.

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 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).

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.
