Érase una vez un estudio

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.

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.

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.

This short exceeded my expectations! It was truly a love letter to Disney's animated films! Seeing so many characters interact, both old and new, was a treat! Hearing some of these characters' original voice actors/actresses reprise their roles was also very enjoyable! Two moments in particular made this short way more emotional than I thought it would be, but I won't give it away. I will say that by the end of the short, I was left in tears. This short also proves that Disney can still pull off 2D animation, and I really wish they'd start making 2D animated movies again.

For any Disney lover, this is a must watch!
