As a Disney fan, I geeked out seeing all of the characters, past and present. And the part where everyone started singing When You Wish Upon a Star, I shed plenty of tears. If you love Disney, then this short is perfect for any Disney fan, old and new.
Yes, just the thought of all my favorite characters singing a song that’s been passed down from generation to generation, a song that everyone on the planet knows even if they don’t like Disney, makes me tear up. When Winnie the Pooh sang, OMIGAWD!! 😭😭
@@SeaStarTea I think the real reason House of Mouse ended was simply that they had no more Mouse Works cartoons to redistribute rather than the show not being successful, this show aired in reruns for the remainder of the decade on Disney Channel and Toon Disney.
@@orangeslash1667They could’ve just used classic Mickey Mouse, Donald, Goofy, Pluto & Chip and Dale cartoons and other Silly Symphonies to play in the show than just Mickey Mouse Works cartoons.
@@hunterolaughlin Disney at the time really wanted Mickey and his friends to be relevant. House of Mouse was made for that reason. Now a days we have the new Mickey Mouse shorts.
With over 500 characters can this officially be considered the biggest animation crossover of all time? I loved this short film and I feel we won't see something like this again in our lifetime
Yes this would save Disney+'s ass and make great use of the characters again and with 2D characters including the 3D characters can be rendered in 2d versions and include jack skellington, Pixar, some marvel IPs, madorlorian, Tim Burton stop motion, 3d era characters, and disny channel cartoons
100th Years of Disney is something I would never imagine to see with all of those Characters, even if it’s Reused Footage, it felt like Nostalgia done Right.
I’ll tell you what, maybe I don’t agree with everything Disney does nowadays but this short is by far the BEST thing they’ve put out in years. I couldn’t hold back my smile. And yes it did bring a tear to my eye. The ending was beautiful. And it goes to show they are still capable of doing great traditional animation. I just wish we could see that more often. Not that I have anything against 3D. In fact I thought in the short they blended the 2D and 3D characters together pretty well. You can tell there was a lot of thought and love put into it and I applaud them. More of that please.
Am I the only one who got really excited when They Showed Jim Hawkins and Captain Amelia From Treasure Planet got to appear on screen again after 20-21 years later
This short really hit all the right notes. A beautiful love letter to Disney and the fans. It was very emotional to see Mickey standing in front of Walt's portrait to thank him because none of this would've been possible without Walt's vision and can-do attitude. And to see Scat Cat, Alan-a-Dale and Mirabel play When You Wish Upon a Star on their respective instruments followed by Belle, the Beast, Ariel, Quasimodo, Pocahontas, Baloo, Mowgli, Mulan, Snow White, Asha and Pooh singing was the cherry on top of a perfect sundae. I hope it wins an Oscar for Best Animated Short.
Oh, I also wish this short would win the Oscar, It was so heartwarming for me to see him thank Walt; and in a way for me Mickey is also a bit like Walt himself, since Walt gave him his voice and personality almost the same as him, that is, he gave his soul to Mickey and that is why he is the way he is thanks to him.
@@BG-be8di That moment was so beautiful. I agree with everything you said about how Walt is Mickey and Mickey is Walt. I loved how they used archival recordings, particularly for Robin Williams and many other Disney voice actors like Robert Guillaume (Rafiki), Verna Felton (Flora), Barbara Luddy (Meriwether), Bobby Driscoll (Peter Pan) and Cliff Edwards (Jiminy Cricket) who have passed on. Perfect way to pay tribute to them in my opinion. Having Jiminy being the last character to sing hit all the right spots not only because When You Wish Upon a Star is from Pinocchio but also because that song is the very heart of Disney. I also love how they brought some old voice actors back to record new lines for their characters.
This was a great reminder that when at their best, Disney is an incredible studio capable of so much. I was amazed by how much respect and reverence for the characters and history this short had. This felt like an actual celebration of their history and not a "highlight reel." I'm also grateful they didn't leave characters out due to a lack of popularity. I was also surprised when Genie spoke, as I heard Robin's will forbids Disney from using his likeness, but I'm glad he was included. I'm glad everyone was included!
It's also cool how Disney Remebered Characters from Forgotten Flops, like: Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Ichabod & Mr. Toad *and even The Black Cauldron!*
Given how Disney is infamous for not letting that film get a physical or digital media release and how they’re distancing themselves even more from the film with the closure of Splash Mountain to be rethemed to The Princess and the Frog, is highly unlikely they’re going to have Brer Rabbit, Fox and Bear make appearances.
@@hunterolaughlinWhat the hell is their problem with Song of the South and them being part of any Disney special? Modern Disney I mean? I just wish Iger disappear because I severely hate him for this.
@@hunterolaughlin I ask a simple question and you tell me to get over it like a jerk? Good advice to tell someone who hates Iger for this. Why don't you tell that to the snowflakes so deeply offended by the film to get over themselves because you're talking to the wrong person. Jerk.
This Short also shows that Disney *stills* knows how to make Traditional 2D Animation. And that is good. Honestly, if "Wish" was 100% Hand Drawn Animation, *would already be done,* but I hope it will be Good in any way.
Searched the group shot for the Atlantis crew and some of the Treasure Planet characters, glad they made it in there, hehe. Heck, even the Dinosaur and Bolt characters are present.
It's the 100th anniversary of Disney why shouldn't they use Tarzan he's as much a Disney character as everyone here even if they have stupid legal rights rules with Burroughs estate.@@JosephRailwayStudios2000
What I love most about this is that they kept it to just Disney animation. It would have been so easy for them to turn this into another brand display like RBTI with Marvel, Star Wars, Muppets, The Simpsons, etc. But no, this isn't about what Disney bought; this is about what Disney made. Like, not even Pixar characters were there, that's some real restraint that I admire. It makes me wish that this was all Disney was instead of the money hungry monopoly that it is today.
After this I really hope we can see more of these crossovers in the future. We deserve to see more character interactions and at the very best everyone at least interacting with everyone and I wished the short was longer because of how many characters they've brought in. For the House of Mouse which I hope gets revived, I want to see them also include Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters along with the newer Disney characters Disney introduced after that show ended a long time ago. It be very fun and incredibly rewatchable.
@@hunterolaughlin I mean the Disney brand is already big and there is even more potential if other owned IPs are included. I mean I want to see Disney characters interact with different IP characters And they do it in a way where it doesn't feel corporate.
While I was watching this, I popped off so hard seeing all the characters I love during my childhood and teenage years. When You Wish Upon a Star and Mickey seeing Walt made me emotional
This was such a great reminder of the joy that Disney’s creative spirit can bring. Regardless of everything else going on at the company, I’m glad we could get this pure concentrated display of what Disney has done for all of us.
Honestly I didn’t expect that almost all Disney characters would appear together in same project for 100th years birthday of Disney company that was created by Walt Disney himself while I lost all respect for current company that became shell of former selfs due many reasons and factors goes all lists of that why Disney today lost all magic spirit and hearts of what once was but now seeing all once upon a studios showing all characters from past present and even future Disney characters come together for 100th anniversary make both cautiously optimistic for future of Disney studios and it animations roots This is exactly why I love and been big fan of Disney since childhood
Finally Disney’s done something right for a change I saw familiar faces of Disney characters. I grew up watching when I was 10 years old this short with a great callback to Disney itself. They actually brought the animation of 2D Animation that we haven’t seen such a very very long time since Princess and the frog all old characters have returned! They even brought back Underrated characters like the black cauldron, treasure, planet, Robin Hood, Pocahontas, and even home on the range!
I agree with you, having all the Disney characters came together in one place for a photoshoot was just so magical for me and they should do it more often with other things, specially with older characters that aren't as popular now these days. Like Bambi, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dumbo, Lilo and Stitch, Beauty And The Beast and more. Example, the characters could come together to celebrate another characters birthday, Quasimodo's for example, and turn it into a longer film rather than a short film. Glad to know that all these Disney characters, old and new are still looking out for each other. 🙂💖❤💕😊🌈
I’m split. Half of me loved it, loved seeing them bring all of these deep cuts together in the same place, while the other half of me believed it could have been something bigger, more storied, more retrospective.
This is meant to be a centennial event piece. I would have made it feature length (60 - 90 minutes) and had it feature the cartoons interacting with the workers at Disney, in particular, the now scant number of people who knew Walt and worked with him personally, to name a few… - Dick Van Dyke - Don Bluth - Julie Andrews - Hayley Mills - Burny Mattinson (he cameos in the short, though he died early this year) - Floyd Norman - Clint Howard - Bruce Reitherman - Richard M. Sherman - Glynis Johns (who celebrated her 100th Birthday mere days before the company itself) - Karen Dotrice - The surviving original members of _The Mickey Mouse Club_ My mind’s eye sees the newer stars (e.g. Elsa, Ralph, Aladdin, etc.) having a meet and greet with the veteran Disney workers regaling them with tales of their time in the golden days of the studio, their old camaraderies and their friendship with Walt. Basically make it a digestible history documentary, like what _The Muppets_ did for Jim Henson when he died. I picture Richard and Julie performing _Feed the Birds (Tuppence a Bag)_ (Walt’s favourite song) for them. Also, maybe have Mickey and the rest of the original crew (Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, even Pete) get emotional, like “We’ve never stopped missing him”. I don’t know, in these days when they spend hundreds of millions (each) on flops that no one likes, spending a fifth of that cost expressing reverence for their history, I believe, would have gone a long way. But that’s just me…
@@jake0324demo The DuckTales reboot made all of the classic Disney Afternoon shows look like crap, trying to pander the nostalgia of them in all the wrong ways. Something which Disney didn't do with all of the 2D animation cameos in this short, which I am more than appreciative of as someone with a deep love for that particular era of the company's animation.
I will always remember when the Dalmatian puppies were watching the Night at bald Mountain scene from Fantasia! I was shocked! Then Kristoff from Frozen told them to stop watching it or they will have nightmares
I don't know who's worse, Chernabog or the Coachman. In fact, imagine this: The Coachman: They never come back... as BOYS ! His face turns red and transforms into a devilish appearance that scares the puppies away after almost leaving the TV.
I think my favorite part of this short was that there was no division between 2D and 3D, just every generation of Disney getting together and being like a big family, just like Walt himself might have wanted. If he were still alive, I bet he would be proud of what his work had led to.
And yet those of us who know the circumstances of the studio during the mid-2000s are still wise enough to know that the whole reason their 3D movies came about in the first place during that time was always based on division against 2D, with the very intention of wanting those kind of movies to be replaced. But because they happen to show us brand new hand-drawn animation now (as beautifully gorgeous as it is) after most of the last decade was spent making an agenda out of only wanting to push 3D movies instead, now we're supposed to just want to celebrate all of the studio's animated films like the newer ones have never been any sort of unfair punishment put against 2D? Disney's going to need to do more than just this going forward if they really want to prove that the studio is going to be this unbiased with its animated productions. A lot more.
1:16 Actually, there were characters from the live-action hybrids included in this short: the Mary Poppins penguins, Pete's Dragon, and characters from Bednobs and Broomsticks. I loved the short, but the exclusion of the Brers and Roger Rabbit was my only main issue with the short. The Brers were absoltely produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and should have been here, and while Roger Rabbit was animated in London, the theatrical Roger Rabbit shorts were done by Walt Disney Animation Studios, so he should have been included. Like I said though, this was my only major complaint with the short, and overall, I thought it was fantastic.
This is what I always wanted from a Disney anniversary where different mediums and techniques directly interacts with each other to celebrate both new and old. I really wish Wish could do the same with being a hybrid Roger Rabbit-styled movie rather than just typical 3D with cheap cell-shaded filter. Maybe have a fantasy story where different dimensions conflicts with each other. The closest we got before this special was that Chip n Dale movie but they also just use cheap cell-shaded 3D similar to the recent Tom and Jerry movie with a bunch of outdated trendy cringe references. I think Wish was trying to awkwardly blend 3D and 2D together as a whole technical and artistic style which just end up very generic.
I LOVED seeing Milo and Jim show up, since they were/are my favorite Disney characters. The short was easily the best thing the studio made all year. ❤
In an odd way, the short is almost an allegory for Disney itself; Mickey wants to celebrate with everyone, the opportunity is destroyed, everyone is discouraged until they remembered why they are all there to begin with, they come together to do more than a celebration and give us something to just awe at. Disney as of now is in that awkward moment in which they want to make something great and enduring but due to the powers they be they fumble just like Goofy fumbled with his camera. But I think deep down, even the most cynic of us, still see value and worth in the Disney name, not the BRAND, but THE NAME. The short also reminds us that despite all the uphill battles the studio has faced, they managed to exist for ten decades and create stories that remain relevant to this day. The final shot with all the characters together truly represent each era and how Disney grew and evolved since. People often forget that Disney never really had a smooth journey, just think of what they faced: - Two world wars, one that forced them to essentially work for the US Government promoting the efforts while making efforts on the side - An animator's strike - Fantasia being Walt's biggest failure that he never recovered from - The great depression - Walt going from animation to live action to television to theme parks - Walt and Roy, the men that founded the studio, dying and making everyone struggle to try and keep everything afloat amidst a business takeover that nearly had the company be sold off two times - A rennaisance that saw tremendous success cut short that CEOs that clashed over egos and losing one of the men that held everything together - A revolution in computer animation that saw allies in Pixar and rivals in Dreamworks that made 2D animation irrelevant - A sudden change in the guard that both marked a new era in every facet of the company while also making non-Disney IP purchases that felt almost monopolistic - A pandemic that altered all of their game plans - A change of CEO so bad they are still recovering from it while the current CEO is struggling to find equal footing with the strikes And yet, despite all of that, we can't be fully cynical at Disney because there is a reason we got here to begin with and this shorts splendidly showcased that; we love their stories, artistry, music, and timeless characters that tug at the heart and represent the best of who we can be. So if Disney managed to celebrate their Centennial despite all of what is going on, we can all go on with the show and hope for the best.
Dude I straight tear up in that scene with Mickey Mouse talk to the Picture of Walt.....manly tears my dude. What can I say....FINALLY SOMETHING THAT FEEL DISNEY, the old magic was in this short and for the love of all gods, WE NEED MORE, seen the traditional 2D characters done in cell shade hand draw animation bring me joy, everyone was portrait in the way they are in their movies, no politics, no BS, no signaling, just pure old fashion charm of a Disney story, seen again characters like Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet, Kida and Milo from Atlantis, Princess Eilonwy from the Black Cauldron, the cows from Home on the Range, the Brother Bear characters, or the Meet the Robinsons getting represented in this short truly show the love for ALL DISNEY not just the successful ones, this was truly magical...and makes me wonder, damn WHY THEY HAVE NEVER MADE A NEW Mickey Mouse film, a full length theatrical Mickey film? I would love to see something like that been 2D or 3D. Anyway I love this short, so even if WISH not be a good film, at least this short is worth pay the price for see that film in theaters (I assume is also playing before WISH...RIGHT? I hope). Again we need more of THIS Disney, please.
Since I was a child, alwaus I loved Disney and really this short was the best and great to celebrate the 100 years of magic of Disney, no matter what, I enjoyed it very much and I felt like a child again, it was an immense emotion every time I saw one of my favorite characters appear. In addition to how surprising it was that they brought back the voice actors of some.. It was most heartwarming to see Mickey thank Walt with that admiration and respect; plus everyone singing "When you wish upon a star" I already wanted to cry immensely remembering the times when watching a Disney movie it always started with this intro
As good as it is to see 2D-animation from them again in this short, I wish Roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit had been included. Even if it wasn't a full Disney film, it kinda feels like the new people behind Disney just want to forget about that amazing movie and just want nothing to do with it for some reason, like it's "outdated" or something.
I looked up any possible reason why Roger wasn't included, and it might be due to being half owned by Steven Spielberg and them having disagreements throughout the 1990s on what to do with the character. So yeah, it's a legal issue. Spielberg is on better terms with Disney now despite the sensitive subject.
There just including the disney studio animation characters. So characters like Roger rabbit, pixar characters or animated characters from colabs and stuff like the nightmare before Christmas don't count.
This short film is just another reason why there can’t be a quality Kingdom Hearts film. It’d be nigh impossible to fit each individual world along with the original story in the span of 2 hours For now we can appreciate this short exists since unlike any Kingdom Hearts film or tv series we can actually see the different Disney characters interacting with each other
It was a great short though in retrospect, I feel the real reason I ended up crying was because I missed the old Disney. I missed the charm of the 2d, I missed what it used to be. For a few moments, I wasn't bitter and sad about Disney. For a few moments, I remembered why I grew up wanting to be an animator.
This short could've been at least fifteen minutes to show more characters that deserve their lime light. Even so, this was a really nice tribute. How I miss the days when Disney was synonymous with hand drawn animation and how I miss the days when Disney ventured into dark territory
It would be interesting to watch a biopic about Walt Disney and the production of Snow White. Seeing his struggles, the doubts, the innovation, the creativity, and the triumph of the Snow White film.
This was not only every huge Disney dream to see but it made me emotional 🥹. It felt like such a long time where Disney actually showed their greatest achievements in animation rather than easing them through unwanted remakes. This whole set up of the characters even included Underrated (and personal favourites) Disney Films like Chicken Little, Atlantis, Home on the Range Treasure Planet or even the upcoming Wish. This is what Disney is all about with Mickey and the Gang and all Disney Animated Characters through the years, displaying all the talent of the amazing artists, animators, actors and writers who brought them to life ❤❤❤❤❤
I could'nt help myslef but to cry it was so beautiful i was so happy to see it it bring back a lot of great characters i love'd from past and now its just so good to see they made something like this again its actually magical i cant wait to see wish it looks amazing 🤩
Hey there Aldone! happy disney Week! I recently saw this short on ABC and disney plus. and I gotta say, as a disney fan, this is an absolute treat! a great way to celebrate the 100 anniversary!
Honestly this was the best thing Disney have done in all this year... Seeing all the characters together again was something we needed I almost cried seeing the 2D animated characters with the new ones it was just great Mikey paying tribute to Walt It was the best of the short :( I thank him for creating an entire legacy
i loved this short so much! also the scene with prince charming losing his shoe instead of cindy was hilarious. disney really needs to make a house of mouse revival!
I plan on waiting until Wish comes out before seeing this short (it plays before that movie) but from what I'm hearing this is an amazing tribute to their past hundred years! I'm looking forward to it! EDIT: I cracked and ended up watching it on Disney Plus, I of course loved it.
I agree I wish they would focus more on animation than just trying to make a live action reboot of everything. Although some of the live action stuff are some good ideas, I would prefer them create new ideas that everyone is looking forward too. Hopefully there are some considerable changes going forward.
Y'know what would've made this short even better in my opinion? It's if they got Glynis Jones (Mrs. Banks from Mary Poppins) to be in it with Burny Mattinson because she is probably the oldest Disney Legend alive, she has been around days before The Walt Disney Company existed, and she recently turned 100 years old this year for Disney's 100th anniversary. Wow.
I hate Disney right now a many of you, but I have to give SO MUCH credit to this short. Hopefully, Disney will realize their wrong doing and go back to being the magical kingdom of imagination and magic it used to be. Here's to 100 Years! 🥂
On the one hand, this short appeals to the Disney fan in me. On the other hand, this makes me sad and somewhat angry to see what Disney can still do with 2D animation and that they either can't or won't do more.
I would be just as angry with them if that turned out to be the case, especially when they've already done more than enough in the last decade to turn me away from them by this point.
@@nicksorenson940 they didnt turn away from them as they still make 2d animated series and seeing how it takes longer to make a weekly show then a movie once a year that's more impressive
@@nicholassims9837 And when compared to all of their past television animation of the 90s Disney Afternoon era that I grew up on, a lot of what I've seen them put out for TV nowadays is a sad shadow of what they used to put out.
@@nicksorenson940 not everything in the 90s was a masterpiece remember Raw Toonage , Nightmare Ned, Marsuplami or The Shookunkums and Meat Funny Cartoon show ?
Honestly, I loved this! I was born in 1992 and grew up with Disney so seeing all these characters together even before I was born was amazing. It also kinda brought me back to how Disney was too. Plus this shows they can still make 2D animation and IMO they should bring that back when it comes to the movies.
See, a revival of House of Mouse would actually accomplish the whole "strengthening the brand" bullshit Disney's been on for the past decade without making people hate them for it. I loved how all the characters interacted with each other on this, even the ones whose movies I don't like.
Your channel is a perfect Disney based one - I love your videos on villains in particular. Can you do a video on Meg from Hercules? Or one on Mother Gothel?

So r u going to watch the film
@@hassansulaiman3848 Yup
This Short also shows that Disney *stills* knows how to make Traditional 2D Animation. And that is good.
Honestly, if "Wish" was 100% Hand Drawn Animation, *would already be done,* but I hope it will be Good in any way.
I miss the House of Mouse show.
Same!! That would be one of the only shows that I would love to see a reboot for. Or at LEAST add it to Disney+!!
Disney strength, is their animation.
When they wanna do it right
Searched the group shot for the Atlantis crew and some of the Treasure Planet characters, glad they made it in there, hehe. Heck, even the Dinosaur and Bolt characters are present.
And brother bear
I'm so happy they showed some love to my boy Tarzan and his girl Jane they're kinda my favorite disney couple ever.
I thought Disney lost the rights to Tarzan
It's the 100th anniversary of Disney why shouldn't they use Tarzan he's as much a Disney character as everyone here even if they have stupid legal rights rules with Burroughs estate.@@JosephRailwayStudios2000
Even if I don’t like what has happened with modern Disney, I think this short is amazing!!
Easily the best Disney short I’ve ever seen in my life.
If anything, the short shows that Disney still has that animation magic; I just wish they can bring that back in their current films
This short is BEAUTIFUL, I love animation and well this short felt like a love letter to us 2D animation fans. Its beautiful ❤
Despite this wonderful short, my stance about Disney didn't changed.
Then piss off
Indeed
What I love most about this is that they kept it to just Disney animation. It would have been so easy for them to turn this into another brand display like RBTI with Marvel, Star Wars, Muppets, The Simpsons, etc. But no, this isn't about what Disney bought; this is about what Disney made. Like, not even Pixar characters were there, that's some real restraint that I admire. It makes me wish that this was all Disney was instead of the money hungry monopoly that it is today.
Agreed, except for all of the more modern 3D "Disney characters" that may as well just be Pixar characters themselves.
@@nicksorenson940 no Pixar is technically a separate studio same reason theys no Nightmate Before Christmas or The Wild
After this I really hope we can see more of these crossovers in the future. We deserve to see more character interactions and at the very best everyone at least interacting with everyone and I wished the short was longer because of how many characters they've brought in. For the House of Mouse which I hope gets revived, I want to see them also include Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters along with the newer Disney characters Disney introduced after that show ended a long time ago. It be very fun and incredibly rewatchable.
I don’t know. For a House of Mouse revival, I’d want to see the focus on mainly the Disney Animation film canon. Films from Snow White to Wish.
@@hunterolaughlin I mean the Disney brand is already big and there is even more potential if other owned IPs are included. I mean I want to see Disney characters interact with different IP characters And they do it in a way where it doesn't feel corporate.
While I was watching this, I popped off so hard seeing all the characters I love during my childhood and teenage years. When You Wish Upon a Star and Mickey seeing Walt made me emotional
This was such a great reminder of the joy that Disney’s creative spirit can bring. Regardless of everything else going on at the company, I’m glad we could get this pure concentrated display of what Disney has done for all of us.
It was a good special, sadly with current Disney, we won’t have classic that those anytime soon.
Honestly I didn’t expect that almost all Disney characters would appear together in same project for 100th years birthday of Disney company that was created by Walt Disney himself while I lost all respect for current company that became shell of former selfs due many reasons and factors goes all lists of that why Disney today lost all magic spirit and hearts of what once was but now seeing all once upon a studios showing all characters from past present and even future Disney characters come together for 100th anniversary make both cautiously optimistic for future of Disney studios and it animations roots This is exactly why I love and been big fan of Disney since childhood
Finally Disney’s done something right for a change I saw familiar faces of Disney characters. I grew up watching when I was 10 years old this short with a great callback to Disney itself. They actually brought the animation of 2D Animation that we haven’t seen such a very very long time since Princess and the frog all old characters have returned! They even brought back Underrated characters like the black cauldron, treasure, planet, Robin Hood, Pocahontas, and even home on the range!
I remember when Timon called Olaf "Frosty". I was thrilled to see Lion King characters talk to a Frozen character!😀
And the best thing about it is that Nathan Lane reprised Timon since 2004
I agree with you, having all the Disney characters came together in one place for a photoshoot was just so magical for me and they should do it more often with other things, specially with older characters that aren't as popular now these days. Like Bambi, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dumbo, Lilo and Stitch, Beauty And The Beast and more. Example, the characters could come together to celebrate another characters birthday, Quasimodo's for example, and turn it into a longer film rather than a short film. Glad to know that all these Disney characters, old and new are still looking out for each other. 🙂💖❤💕😊🌈
I'm just happy that Meet the Robinsons finally got some acknowledgement.
I’m split. Half of me loved it, loved seeing them bring all of these deep cuts together in the same place, while the other half of me believed it could have been something bigger, more storied, more retrospective.
This is meant to be a centennial event piece. I would have made it feature length (60 - 90 minutes) and had it feature the cartoons interacting with the workers at Disney, in particular, the now scant number of people who knew Walt and worked with him personally, to name a few…
- Dick Van Dyke
- Don Bluth
- Julie Andrews
- Hayley Mills
- Burny Mattinson (he cameos in the short, though he died early this year)
- Floyd Norman
- Clint Howard
- Bruce Reitherman
- Richard M. Sherman
- Glynis Johns (who celebrated her 100th Birthday mere days before the company itself)
- Karen Dotrice
- The surviving original members of _The Mickey Mouse Club_
My mind’s eye sees the newer stars (e.g. Elsa, Ralph, Aladdin, etc.) having a meet and greet with the veteran Disney workers regaling them with tales of their time in the golden days of the studio, their old camaraderies and their friendship with Walt. Basically make it a digestible history documentary, like what _The Muppets_ did for Jim Henson when he died. I picture Richard and Julie performing _Feed the Birds (Tuppence a Bag)_ (Walt’s favourite song) for them. Also, maybe have Mickey and the rest of the original crew (Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, even Pete) get emotional, like “We’ve never stopped missing him”.
I don’t know, in these days when they spend hundreds of millions (each) on flops that no one likes, spending a fifth of that cost expressing reverence for their history, I believe, would have gone a long way.
But that’s just me…
You're welcome to animate your own tribute.
@@kevinzhang6623 What's your problem?
I'm split because only half of the short is really the studio's true animation.
@@SomeHarbourBastard I agree
Nice to see Meet the Robinsons represented 👍
Still need Disney's Bonkers to be acknowledged by Disney
Makes sense for this one not to mention him in this one though; they didn’t mention any TV characters
i think he got referenced and made an appearance in the ducktales reboot
@@jake0324demo The DuckTales reboot made all of the classic Disney Afternoon shows look like crap, trying to pander the nostalgia of them in all the wrong ways. Something which Disney didn't do with all of the 2D animation cameos in this short, which I am more than appreciative of as someone with a deep love for that particular era of the company's animation.
I watched it, and it was purely fantastically amazing. A true love for all us Disney fans that will enjoy.
I will always remember when the Dalmatian puppies were watching the Night at bald Mountain scene from Fantasia! I was shocked! Then Kristoff from Frozen told them to stop watching it or they will have nightmares
I don't know who's worse, Chernabog or the Coachman. In fact, imagine this:
The Coachman: They never come back... as BOYS !
His face turns red and transforms into a devilish appearance that scares the puppies away after almost leaving the TV.
@@aidanhever3369 or imagine if the puppies decided to watch Frollo's Hellfire song......
I think my favorite part of this short was that there was no division between 2D and 3D, just every generation of Disney getting together and being like a big family, just like Walt himself might have wanted.
If he were still alive, I bet he would be proud of what his work had led to.
And yet those of us who know the circumstances of the studio during the mid-2000s are still wise enough to know that the whole reason their 3D movies came about in the first place during that time was always based on division against 2D, with the very intention of wanting those kind of movies to be replaced. But because they happen to show us brand new hand-drawn animation now (as beautifully gorgeous as it is) after most of the last decade was spent making an agenda out of only wanting to push 3D movies instead, now we're supposed to just want to celebrate all of the studio's animated films like the newer ones have never been any sort of unfair punishment put against 2D?
Disney's going to need to do more than just this going forward if they really want to prove that the studio is going to be this unbiased with its animated productions. A lot more.
they have proved its us who needs to a prove amd treat movies like Treasure Planet and Atlantis more like Aladdin and Lion King
1:16 Actually, there were characters from the live-action hybrids included in this short: the Mary Poppins penguins, Pete's Dragon, and characters from Bednobs and Broomsticks. I loved the short, but the exclusion of the Brers and Roger Rabbit was my only main issue with the short. The Brers were absoltely produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and should have been here, and while Roger Rabbit was animated in London, the theatrical Roger Rabbit shorts were done by Walt Disney Animation Studios, so he should have been included. Like I said though, this was my only major complaint with the short, and overall, I thought it was fantastic.
This is what I always wanted from a Disney anniversary where different mediums and techniques directly interacts with each other to celebrate both new and old.
I really wish Wish could do the same with being a hybrid Roger Rabbit-styled movie rather than just typical 3D with cheap cell-shaded filter. Maybe have a fantasy story where different dimensions conflicts with each other.
The closest we got before this special was that Chip n Dale movie but they also just use cheap cell-shaded 3D similar to the recent Tom and Jerry movie with a bunch of outdated trendy cringe references.
I think Wish was trying to awkwardly blend 3D and 2D together as a whole technical and artistic style which just end up very generic.
*Fun fact:* The only feature-length films not represented in the short are "Song of the South" and "So Dear to My Heart".
Giselle is not there either.
@@Disneyfan82 Disney would need to Pay Amy Adams for her likeness
@@JosephRailwayStudios2000not even Roger rabbit
@@facusmendoza1061 Because I think he was also owned by Steven Hillenberg
This short film was dy-no-mite!
Here’s hoping Disney fixes their future!
I LOVED seeing Milo and Jim show up, since they were/are my favorite Disney characters. The short was easily the best thing the studio made all year. ❤
In an odd way, the short is almost an allegory for Disney itself; Mickey wants to celebrate with everyone, the opportunity is destroyed, everyone is discouraged until they remembered why they are all there to begin with, they come together to do more than a celebration and give us something to just awe at. Disney as of now is in that awkward moment in which they want to make something great and enduring but due to the powers they be they fumble just like Goofy fumbled with his camera. But I think deep down, even the most cynic of us, still see value and worth in the Disney name, not the BRAND, but THE NAME. The short also reminds us that despite all the uphill battles the studio has faced, they managed to exist for ten decades and create stories that remain relevant to this day. The final shot with all the characters together truly represent each era and how Disney grew and evolved since. People often forget that Disney never really had a smooth journey, just think of what they faced:
- Two world wars, one that forced them to essentially work for the US Government promoting the efforts while making efforts on the side
- An animator's strike
- Fantasia being Walt's biggest failure that he never recovered from
- The great depression
- Walt going from animation to live action to television to theme parks
- Walt and Roy, the men that founded the studio, dying and making everyone struggle to try and keep everything afloat amidst a business takeover that nearly had the company be sold off two times
- A rennaisance that saw tremendous success cut short that CEOs that clashed over egos and losing one of the men that held everything together
- A revolution in computer animation that saw allies in Pixar and rivals in Dreamworks that made 2D animation irrelevant
- A sudden change in the guard that both marked a new era in every facet of the company while also making non-Disney IP purchases that felt almost monopolistic
- A pandemic that altered all of their game plans
- A change of CEO so bad they are still recovering from it while the current CEO is struggling to find equal footing with the strikes
And yet, despite all of that, we can't be fully cynical at Disney because there is a reason we got here to begin with and this shorts splendidly showcased that; we love their stories, artistry, music, and timeless characters that tug at the heart and represent the best of who we can be. So if Disney managed to celebrate their Centennial despite all of what is going on, we can all go on with the show and hope for the best.
You deserve an award for this speech 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥲🥲🥲
Dude I straight tear up in that scene with Mickey Mouse talk to the Picture of Walt.....manly tears my dude. What can I say....FINALLY SOMETHING THAT FEEL DISNEY, the old magic was in this short and for the love of all gods, WE NEED MORE, seen the traditional 2D characters done in cell shade hand draw animation bring me joy, everyone was portrait in the way they are in their movies, no politics, no BS, no signaling, just pure old fashion charm of a Disney story, seen again characters like Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet, Kida and Milo from Atlantis, Princess Eilonwy from the Black Cauldron, the cows from Home on the Range, the Brother Bear characters, or the Meet the Robinsons getting represented in this short truly show the love for ALL DISNEY not just the successful ones, this was truly magical...and makes me wonder, damn WHY THEY HAVE NEVER MADE A NEW Mickey Mouse film, a full length theatrical Mickey film? I would love to see something like that been 2D or 3D. Anyway I love this short, so even if WISH not be a good film, at least this short is worth pay the price for see that film in theaters (I assume is also playing before WISH...RIGHT? I hope). Again we need more of THIS Disney, please.
5:20 Yeah, me too! That show was my childhood! 😢 I really loved how it brought so many characters into a big mash up crossover......
Mickey looking at Walt brought tears to my eyes..
Since I was a child, alwaus I loved Disney and really this short was the best and great to celebrate the 100 years of magic of Disney, no matter what, I enjoyed it very much and I felt like a child again, it was an immense emotion every time I saw one of my favorite characters appear. In addition to how surprising it was that they brought back the voice actors of some.. It was most heartwarming to see Mickey thank Walt with that admiration and respect; plus everyone singing "When you wish upon a star" I already wanted to cry immensely remembering the times when watching a Disney movie it always started with this intro
Loved my 3 seconds of Treasure Planet
As good as it is to see 2D-animation from them again in this short, I wish Roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit had been included. Even if it wasn't a full Disney film, it kinda feels like the new people behind Disney just want to forget about that amazing movie and just want nothing to do with it for some reason, like it's "outdated" or something.
I looked up any possible reason why Roger wasn't included, and it might be due to being half owned by Steven Spielberg and them having disagreements throughout the 1990s on what to do with the character. So yeah, it's a legal issue. Spielberg is on better terms with Disney now despite the sensitive subject.
I think they weren't included because it's not a Walt Disney Animation Studios film
It was under the Touchstone banner.
There just including the disney studio animation characters. So characters like Roger rabbit, pixar characters or animated characters from colabs and stuff like the nightmare before Christmas don't count.
It would be really cool to see you review Disney's Dinosaur from 2000. I've always had a soft spot for that film and grew up with that world.
One of my favourite Disney films.
Happy 100th Anniversary, Disney!! 🌟
This short film is just another reason why there can’t be a quality Kingdom Hearts film. It’d be nigh impossible to fit each individual world along with the original story in the span of 2 hours
For now we can appreciate this short exists since unlike any Kingdom Hearts film or tv series we can actually see the different Disney characters interacting with each other
It was a great short though in retrospect, I feel the real reason I ended up crying was because I missed the old Disney. I missed the charm of the 2d, I missed what it used to be. For a few moments, I wasn't bitter and sad about Disney. For a few moments, I remembered why I grew up wanting to be an animator.
This short could've been at least fifteen minutes to show more characters that deserve their lime light. Even so, this was a really nice tribute. How I miss the days when Disney was synonymous with hand drawn animation and how I miss the days when Disney ventured into dark territory
This short gave me chills and goosebumps
The short is adorable. If only they'd put this amount of heart in all of their productions...
I actually began to cry as I watched the short, I don't know why, but it's hard to hold back tears as I watch it every time.
The minute Mickey walked up to Walt's pic, I just started ugly sobbing.
It would be interesting to watch a biopic about Walt Disney and the production of Snow White. Seeing his struggles, the doubts, the innovation, the creativity, and the triumph of the Snow White film.
The best thing Disney has done for YEARS! ✨✨
It was a very nice watch, makes me appreciate and want to look into Walt Disney and all the animators more
This was not only every huge Disney dream to see but it made me emotional 🥹. It felt like such a long time where Disney actually showed their greatest achievements in animation rather than easing them through unwanted remakes. This whole set up of the characters even included Underrated (and personal favourites) Disney Films like Chicken Little, Atlantis, Home on the Range Treasure Planet or even the upcoming Wish.
This is what Disney is all about with Mickey and the Gang and all Disney Animated Characters through the years, displaying all the talent of the amazing artists, animators, actors and writers who brought them to life ❤❤❤❤❤
I could'nt help myslef but to cry it was so beautiful i was so happy to see it it bring back a lot of great characters i love'd from past and now its just so good to see they made something like this again its actually magical i cant wait to see wish it looks amazing 🤩
Hey there Aldone! happy disney Week! I recently saw this short on ABC and disney plus. and I gotta say, as a disney fan, this is an absolute treat! a great way to celebrate the 100 anniversary!
Honestly this was the best thing Disney have done in all this year... Seeing all the characters together again was something we needed I almost cried seeing the 2D animated characters with the new ones it was just great Mikey paying tribute to Walt It was the best of the short :( I thank him for creating an entire legacy
I am impressed with how great this turned out.
i loved this short so much! also the scene with prince charming losing his shoe instead of cindy was hilarious. disney really needs to make a house of mouse revival!
I seriously love all your Disney videos!!! ❤
I plan on waiting until Wish comes out before seeing this short (it plays before that movie) but from what I'm hearing this is an amazing tribute to their past hundred years! I'm looking forward to it!
EDIT: I cracked and ended up watching it on Disney Plus, I of course loved it.
I agree I wish they would focus more on animation than just trying to make a live action reboot of everything. Although some of the live action stuff are some good ideas, I would prefer them create new ideas that everyone is looking forward too. Hopefully there are some considerable changes going forward.
I legit laughed almost the entire way through this short. This was brilliantly done and I wish they would do more like this.. go back to old disney..
This is a beautiful short!
Y'know what would've made this short even better in my opinion? It's if they got Glynis Jones (Mrs. Banks from Mary Poppins) to be in it with Burny Mattinson because she is probably the oldest Disney Legend alive, she has been around days before The Walt Disney Company existed, and she recently turned 100 years old this year for Disney's 100th anniversary. Wow.
I hate Disney right now a many of you, but I have to give SO MUCH credit to this short. Hopefully, Disney will realize their wrong doing and go back to being the magical kingdom of imagination and magic it used to be. Here's to 100 Years! 🥂
this short is amazing
On the one hand, this short appeals to the Disney fan in me. On the other hand, this makes me sad and somewhat angry to see what Disney can still do with 2D animation and that they either can't or won't do more.
I would be just as angry with them if that turned out to be the case, especially when they've already done more than enough in the last decade to turn me away from them by this point.
@@nicksorenson940 they didnt turn away from them as they still make 2d animated series and seeing how it takes longer to make a weekly show then a movie once a year that's more impressive
@@nicholassims9837 And when compared to all of their past television animation of the 90s Disney Afternoon era that I grew up on, a lot of what I've seen them put out for TV nowadays is a sad shadow of what they used to put out.
@@nicksorenson940 not everything in the 90s was a masterpiece remember Raw Toonage , Nightmare Ned, Marsuplami or The Shookunkums and Meat Funny Cartoon show ?
I hope Wish will be next step up.
also can't wait to see this short in theaters attached to the film.
This is the best Disney installment since 2016s Zootopia! It brought back early 2000 vibes
Honestly, I loved this! I was born in 1992 and grew up with Disney so seeing all these characters together even before I was born was amazing. It also kinda brought me back to how Disney was too. Plus this shows they can still make 2D animation and IMO they should bring that back when it comes to the movies.
See, a revival of House of Mouse would actually accomplish the whole "strengthening the brand" bullshit Disney's been on for the past decade without making people hate them for it. I loved how all the characters interacted with each other on this, even the ones whose movies I don't like.
One of the things I loved was that they actually used Cinderella’s original silver dress instead of blue 🥹
Loooved this short!
Pure perfection
How is this better than anything they have released in the last like 7 years 😢… I cried watching this
I totally agree with you and this video
I absolutely loved it ❤
It was everything
this short is a delight to watch
I cried seeing all the characters shown even from some of their movies that people haven't really heard of like treasure planet etc
Your channel is a perfect Disney based one - I love your videos on villains in particular.
Can you do a video on Meg from Hercules? Or one on Mother Gothel?
