Once Upon a Studio short was TERRFIC

As a the title says Once Upon a Studio short was TERRFIC (and yes that’s partly a cereal pun, but for a good reason if you know, you know).

It was amazing seeing some of the characters interact with each other. Like Elliot from Pete’s Dragon carrying Cody from The Rescuers Down Under film. OR seeing Doger from Oliver and Company in Vanoplle’s car from Wreck It Raph movie (first movie, not Ralph Breaks the Internet). or seeing Mr. Toad on Aladdin’s Magic Carpert. Or seeing Aladdin acccidently stepping on Kristoff’s Rock-family. Or Rapunzel hitting Kaa with her frying pan. Kaa -who been hyptoizing Clarbella the Cow.

Some people are thrilled about the fact that more less known animated films (Chicken Little, Meet the Robinson , Alantis:The Lost Empire and The Black Cauldron all appear in the short. I’m just thrilled they didn’t forget about some of the other character (Badger, Rat, and Mole) and Ichbod Crane, as well as the Headless Horemen, as well as Katrina, and Brom Bones from The Adventures of Mr. Toad and Icbhod Crane. I kind of was wondering if they might forget about them because the only known reference to the latter story is The Headless Horsemen is the The Headless Horsemen himself during the Oggie Boogie Bash Parade (not sure if he shows up in Disney’s World Mickey’s-Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World)-if you know please tell me!

The song (you know THE Disney’s theme song) at the end Three “Princess” characters were holding hands-the First ever Disney Princess, Snow White, on one (her left, our right) side of her holding hands with the last Disney Renciassance Princess Mulan (1998), and on her right, our left- holding hands with Disney’s upcoming Princess- Asha from Wish (2023).

It took me a reaction video to notice that Cinderella’s hair and ball gown colouring are both back to their origonal 1950s Strawberry Blond (hair) and Slivery-white (Ballgown) coluring vs. the mess of blonde and blue that been going on for a long time I think at least the 90s. And it took me even longer to notice from another reaction video that Prince Charming is the one who looses a shoe on the way downstairs to the lobby before Max, the Sheepdog from The Little Mermaid takes Charmings’ Shoe and runs away with it and Charming is yelling to Prince Eric off-screen “Eric ….” (on unrelated note, I have this head cannon in that Charming and Eric are somehow related due to a screenshot of Cinderella III: Twist in Time and the way Charming is dressed in that scene, looks identical to Prince Eric).

But it was really neat seeing Ink-and Cell (Snow White, and the various Mickey and company gang-Donald, Goofy, Pluto, etc) showing up next to Xeroed characters (101 Dalmatians) and next to 3D animated characters (Tangled, Wreck It Ralph Characters, Strange Worlds, Raya and the Last Dragon, etc). It was nice even seeing the “stolen Rabbit” (Oswald) who paved way for the other 542 characters in the short. (I do have something I want to say about Ub Iwerks-but that’s another post in itself)

I never seen any of the House of Mouse TV show-the closet I got to it was seeing the Finale movie(?) ad on one of my home videos for “Mickey’s House of Villians” but people said the short reminded people of that show. So that Disney company should either bring that back, or there should be a new TV show where the characters interact with each other after animators go home for the day.

Some people wish there could be a whole movie with all the characters. But in order for that to happen you kind of need a plot and they can’t excatly copy Mickey’s House of Villains plot now can they?

Overall The short was really good-kind of wish it was even longer then it actually was.
