Eric Goldberg is a literal Disney character himself ! Such a lovely man.

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

Man this short reminded me how much I miss 2D/hand-drawn animated films! Bring them back Disney, if you do it right they'll make money!

[@frogeater8659]

Maybe they’ll bring back hand-drawn animation for the upcoming Disney+ Tiana series.

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

Disney, please put the featurette of all the voice actors that aired during the broadcast on KZbin. It was such a cool look behind the scenes and way to historic of a moment to only be seen once then die.

[@coburnbatman]

Do you realize how many people cried? Do you know how beautiful this digital short was? Any idea how touching and loving it was when Mickey took off his hat as he looked up at the painting of Walt Disney? Cause let me tell you…..I balled. I didn’t cry, I balled. I BALLED!! 😭 😭

[@danielspencer1923]

I BALLED, TOO! You are so right!

I know this maybe unlikely, but I hope it receives an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short Film and maybe (if possible) win an Oscar.

[@AwesomeOKing0197]

I agree with you. It needs to win an Oscar👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@TsWade2]

@@AwesomeOKing0197 Thank you for agreeing with me, but I need to be cautious. Because 9 years ago when Get A Horse got nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film, I had high hopes it’ll win, but when the participates announce the winner, Get a Horse didn’t win. I was upset, I was obsessed about it, and I’ve been ranting about it. And it’s very unhealthy for me. But I will hope OUAS will get nominated an Oscar and I hope it wins but this time with caution.

[@AwesomeOKing0197]

Okay

[@CreditsBean17]

I hope so.

[@kylemorello4787]

Honestly, I'm okay with it just being nominated. Seeing all these characters with a variety of success come together and treat each other like equals makes me feel that maybe we shouldn't let winning a little statue dictate whether something is better or worse than something else. So, if this wonderful love letter to one of the most important mainstream animation divisions ever wins, that's great! But if an indie short that is just as creative, imaginative and beautiful wins instead, I'd just be glad Disney earned the nomination anyway.

[@AwesomeOKing0197]

I already saw Once Upon A Studio on ABC, Disney Channel, and on Disney+, and it was still awesome! 😁😁😁😁😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 It was like "Disney's House of Mouse" all over again with a hint of "Night at the Museum"

Walt Disney said, "If you can dream it, you can do it, and don't let anybody say you can't." This is my biggest dream goal of bringing the 2-D animated style from Disney once again, and I'll save Hollywood for stopping all this ridiculous madness.

[@REECEM92]

I'm so happy this Disney short exists. Best Disney short in a very, very long time!!!

[@oliversvoice4383]

This is, honestly, the best thing I’ve seen from Disney in 10 years; it felt truly sincere and the moments it gives to certain characters, where you’d explain those characters to do something, made me smile… not to mention just the selection of characters that both surprised me and made me happy (particularly the Meet The Robinsons characters). I have my issues with Disney, as a company, but this was a beautiful, understated tribute that had moments for everyone to enjoy; a true love-letter to Disney’s 100 years and I’m so glad we have this behind the scenes video as I was searching for one soon after finishing the short film.

[@katereilly9367]

You felt the love everyone who worked on the short poured into it, it had so much heart and it was just pure Disney magic

[@erickmaverick3128]

Once upon a studio was BEAUTIFUL. So many characters and deep cuts all mingling together. I wish that short was longer.

[@iandanielcassidy8126]

2D animation never dies. In fact, it has got more traction than CGI ever did recently. People got so sick of CGI animation that lacked any human artistry for years. They wanted 2D animation to come back into the limelight after years of neglect by Hollywood itself. Animation itself is for everyone, and it's an art medium as a whole. What these suits from Disney, Hollywood, etc don't understand is that Animation is a human art in of itself, not just for kids but by adults, teens and elders can enjoy the art of animation as a whole.

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

To be fair Cgi animation is awesome in it's own right and we need to remember that it's not the creatives that make decisions like never doing 2d movies again. But that said yes traditional 2d animation is just as important and I'm so glad movies like Spider verse or Turtles now exist that can show why that works and why people love that style of animation. My hope is that Wish is a success so the stubborn execs at Disney see that again too.

[@iandanielcassidy8126]

@@Cloud-dt6xb Disney, Hollywood, and so many other companies are just too rotten to the public anymore, so I'm willing to change them after I've got a dream job and stop all this madness in today's world to make "What" we really want to watch, cause as long Hollywood redeemed themselves, Disney and the companies will have another chance.

[@SpacialRend7]

As a fan of Hand-drawn animation, seeing all the classic characters from Disney’s history featured in this short film had put a big, joyful smile on my face, as if part of my love for Disney had resurfaced after so long. “Once Upon a Studio” is an excellent short film, probably my favorite by far and I would love to see hand-drawn animated films make a return soon!

[@Isaacthebiggestmoviefan57]

It was beautiful. And it broke me to tears.

[@iandanielcassidy8126]

"Well, the people at Disney have a different thought process than Walt Disney when he started. He just wanted to have fun and tell stories for children... great imagination. People today want to rearrange everything and have nothing new to build on, and since they are not happy people, they can't make happy movies. I'm glad you recognize the differences being made. " Mentioned by my Grandma Georgia.

[@UrSammich]

I loved this for a few different reasons, but I think one reason for me is that it shows Disney can still do classic 2D animations. They can return to the art form if they wanted to and haven't completely shy away from it. The question is, will Disney ever return to 2D for a movie is yet to be determined. Just seeing the mix of cel shade, hand drawn, cgi, its wonderful. Plus you can't not tell me you didn't cry or considered crying at Mickey talking to Walt.

[@lostgirlcosplay14]

2D animation will never die off. In fact, in recent years, it has only gotten more popular than CGI animation. There is a way to save Disney, but it requires patience and determination to take back the magic of the company. I hope I can succeed in the end.
