Once Upon a Studio is a 2023 American live-action/animated fantasy comedy crossover short film written and directed by Dan Abraham and Trent Correy, produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.[2] In the film, Disney characters come to life from pictures hanging on the walls of the Roy E. Disney Animation Building following the end of a usual work day. Made in honor of the studio's centennial on October 16, 2023, the short film was described as a "love letter" to Walt Disney Animation Studios by Correy and Abraham.[3] The short's art style combines computer graphics, traditional animation and live-action, and features characters from almost all of the studio's works made up to that point, including all sixty-two feature films, numerous short films, and some live-action Disney films featuring animation produced by the studio such as Mary Poppins (1964), Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971) and Pete's Dragon (1977).[4] The film was dedicated to Disney Legend and animator Burny Mattinson, the company's longest serving Disney employee, who appeared in the short and died eight months before its release.[5]
Once Upon a Studio premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 11, 2023, and had its first public showing on ABC on October 15, 2023, as part of The Wonderful World of Disney: Disney's 100th Anniversary Celebration, hosted by Kelly Ripa, along with the television premiere of Encanto. The short film was added to Disney+ and Hulu on October 16, 2023, and also aired that day on Disney Channel, as part of Once Upon A Monday Movie Marathon, FX, FXM and Freeform. The short was also shown theatrically in front of the Moana special engagement Disney100 limited rerelease. It received widespread acclaim from critics, audiences and Disney fans, all of whom praised the animation (particularly those of the traditionally animated characters), ambition, concept and overall sense of nostalgia.[6][7][8][9]
