I can't explain my feels, Disney is a great and recpetcted studio and it covers a huge part of my life,I grew up with his works,grew up and developed,I owe this studio and I wanna to thank all the people who played a role in making my childhood, past, present and future and many other people moment by moment. I wanna to thank for all the laughs, all the tears, all the emotional moments... I really cannot describe my feelings with a series of words and letters. I am a great fan of animation and I am proud of myself in this regard and of course I'm also a painter,I have many picture of animation characters crossover type.. At the end,Once again, I would like to thank all the writers, directors, animators, videographers, voice actors, creators and all the people who were and are involved in the creation of animations and don't get tired.

Once Upon A Studio is a 2023 short in celebration with Disney 100 and features every single Disney charcther from past and present films ranging from The Little Mermaid,Tangled, Zootopia,Aladdin,Moana,Sleeping Beauty,Frozen,Robin Hood,Beauty and the Beast, Big Hero 6,Encanto,Chicken Little,Mickey and Minnie,Donald Duck,Goofy and The Black Cauldron to name a few. The short follows what happens when employees leave Walt Disney Animation Studio and we see all the charcthers coming out of a picture. Overall I really enjoyed this short and I hope that Disney continues to do more great films in the near future. Some Disney films are good and more not so good. Also features the charchter from Wish.

**CONTAINS SPOILERS** Absolutely exceeded my expectations. Just seeing ALL of the old and new Disney characters interacting with each other was so awesome. There are always a few characters who don't get as much love in the parks or movies, it was nice seeing them in here. If you were wondering who the Imagineer was at the beginning, it was legendary Imagineer Burny Mattinson who worked for Disney for over 70 years starting in 1953. I work as a Cast Member at Disneyland Parks. For part of the 100th Celebration Disney sent every single Cast Member a keepsake name badge and a lithograph of the photo Goofy took. Seeing this short gave it an even more special meaning. For anyone who truly loves Disney, how could the part when Mickey was talking to the painting of Walt not make yo tear up just a little?

It's probably not fair that I am reviewing "Once Upon a Studio" after my first viewing, as I'm sure you could watch this short 30 times and find something new to appreciate each time. However, I thought I would share my initial thoughts on the short. Overall, this was fantastic. I cannot see how the crew could have made this any better. From the lovely opening with the live action Disney employees to the final group photo at the end, this short film was a perfect culmination of Disney's 100th anniversary. Here are some random moments, in no particular order, that I especially enjoyed: -The elevator scene was probably my favorite scene in the entire thing. It was the perfect way to include Flash, and Baymax coming in at the very end was the cherry on top -I love that Scar got to incorporate his, "I'm surrounded by idiots" insult in there somewhere. One of my favorite Disney villain lines -Ursula being chased by the blue creature from Strange World was a fun addition -Rapunzel slamming Kaa in the head with her frying pan was a character interaction I never knew I needed in my life -Very glad Kuzco's "No touchy!" line was used -Also appreciated that some characters from less popular films were included, such as "Meet the Robinsons" and "Brother Bear." There were even some characters I didn't recognize -I got a huge smile when Genie had his moment to shine. So neat that Robin Williams could make it into the short -Fix-It-Felix repairing the camera was extremely clever -Nice seeing the new lead from "Wish" make an appearance, as I believe this short is set to play before the movie -The moment between Mickey and Walt's photo was sweet. Predictable, but sweet Again, there is so much more to this short, but this was everything I could remember without going back and scrolling through. Overall, I absolutely adored Once Upon a Studio. I'm looking forward to seeing it again when "Wish" is released!

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.
