Disney’s 2000’s era acknowledged for once

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.

It was great that the 90s to current cast reprised their roles. We need a "House of Mouse" revival now more than ever!

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

I haven't seen a beautiful Disney crossover like this since House of Mouse.

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.

After seeing the short film, I think Disney should make a modern House of Mouse show. Who agrees???

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.

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 was great to see Disney bring in not only characters from the most popular & successful films, but also characters from the underrated Disney films

Joining the 2D characters with the 3D ones was very epic

Disney, please do a revival of The House of Mouse that’s something like this. Sincerely, everyone.

This fills me with HOPE that hand drawn animated features from Disney will be made within another century.

Once Upon A Studio is exactly what Disney is about. Maybe with it, Disney will get back on the right path.

*Fun fact:* Genie's dialogue was sourced from previously unused audio recordings by the late Robin Williams (Who died in 2014).

The entire family was all here 🥲

It's also cool how Disney Remebered Characters from Forgotten Flops, like: Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Ichabod & Mr. Toad *and even The Black Cauldron!*

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

I just love that even Oswald showed up, and Mickey was even respectful to him as well!

It’s nice to see them celebrating their 100 year history. Too bad they left out Song of the South.

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.

This short is BEAUTIFUL, I love animation and well this short felt like a love letter to us 2D animation fans. Its beautiful ❤

Even if I don’t like what has happened with modern Disney, I think this short is amazing!!

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.

Disney strength, is their animation. When they wanna do it right

Easily the best Disney short I’ve ever seen in my life.

Despite this wonderful short, my stance about Disney didn't changed.

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 miss the House of Mouse show.

I'm so happy they showed some love to my boy Tarzan and his girl Jane they're kinda my favorite disney couple ever.

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.

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. 🙂💖❤💕😊🌈

If anything, the short shows that Disney still has that animation magic; I just wish they can bring that back in their current films

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

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!

Take note, Disney. This is how good you USED to be!

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

It was a good special, sadly with current Disney, we won’t have classic that those anytime soon.

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.

I remember when Timon called Olaf "Frosty". I was thrilled to see Lion King characters talk to a Frozen character!😀

I watched it, and it was purely fantastically amazing. A true love for all us Disney fans that will enjoy.

They planned for Wish to be 2D??? That would've been AMAZINGLY BETTER than what we got. That shit looks like a Sofia the first feature-length special

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Still need Disney's Bonkers to be acknowledged by Disney

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".

I'm just happy that Meet the Robinsons finally got some acknowledgement.

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

This short gave me chills and goosebumps

Happy 100th Anniversary, Disney!! 🌟

I almost cried tears of happiness when I watched that short. It felt so good to see all those characters gathering together

The short is adorable. If only they'd put this amount of heart in all of their productions...

Mickey looking at Walt brought tears to my eyes..

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 is beautyful. Disney has a lot of flaws, but it manages to create magic

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.

Nice to see Meet the Robinsons represented 👍

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.

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.

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.

Loved my 3 seconds of Treasure Planet

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.

This short film was dy-no-mite! Here’s hoping Disney fixes their future!

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

And now, this short is included on the Blu-Ray/DVD of “Wish” since it came out recently as part of a bonus feature. I hope “Wish” is going to do well on physical media rather than seeing in a theater since November.

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

The best thing Disney has done for YEARS! ✨✨

I don’t think it would have hurt Disney to show Br’er Rabbit Fox and Bear for a millisecond.

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!

How is this better than anything they have released in the last like 7 years 😢… I cried watching this

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!

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 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’m going to have to watch all the Disney Animated Canon movies starting from Snow White all the way to Wish (alongside with the shorts of course) and THEN watch the short, just to see how far Disney has come. Also, I would like to see Disney do more of that kind of stuff in the future.

This is the best Disney installment since 2016s Zootopia! It brought back early 2000 vibes

I cried seeing all the characters shown even from some of their movies that people haven't really heard of like treasure planet etc

It was a very nice watch, makes me appreciate and want to look into Walt Disney and all the animators more

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?

Pure perfection

If Disney turned this short into a revival or sequel series or whatever for House of Mouse where all these characters, as well as ones in future Disney movies, just hang out, maybe watch some shorts or scenes from Disney movies, or just get up to more crazy stuff in the Disney building all while having the same effort or just amount of fun as this short, I’d happily watch that show in a heartbeat

I hope Wish will be next step up. also can't wait to see this short in theaters attached to the film.

I am holding out that this short film is a sign for Disney making new 2D movies again (coexisting with cgi, the new hybrid 2.5D and all other animation styles together! What they should’ve been doing from the start!)

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 ❤❤❤❤❤

Using past tense in a sentence, specially describing someone or something is tragic, if you think about. Disney used to be so, SO great

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 🤩

Nostalgia hit me harder than a pin moving at the speed of light towards the Earth.

One of the things I loved was that they actually used Cinderella’s original silver dress instead of blue 🥹

While I make it no secret how much I love Stitch, and we can argue about the quality of Disney's live-action remakes and recent work and what should or shouldn't be censored till doomsday; I think we can all agree that the Disney classics will forever live in our hearts.

I am impressed with how great this turned out.

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! 🥂

I may just see wish just to wacth this short in theatres alone

I loved seeing Taran and Eilonwy in the short

I really loved it when I first saw it
