Man the concept art for that show looked amazing!spiritually reminds me of the axed princess academy short
Princess Academy
Princess Academy was about to be an animated short that would have featured all the female characters that debuted from the films that came after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs all the way up to Tangled, including Pixar films, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. It was...disney.fandom.com
Uh, no! I’m just excited. That’s all.
You think hybrid film characters will appear in this? Any hope of a Song of the South reference?Here's a few more details from Variety that I don't believe the other articles had.
"A passion project, started on the fly in anticipation of the Mouse House’s centenary this year, the nine-minute short brings more than four hundred characters back to life, throwing hand-drawn, CG and live action characters into a dizzy mix as they collectively buzz around the Roy E. Disney animation building on the Disney studio lot, causing gentle comic mayhem and leading towards a sentimental close set to the studio’s most emblematic song."
"Soon enough, the walls very much do, as Mickey and Minnie spring loose from hanged photos, rousing Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog,” Peter Pan and Wendy too, Moana, Maui, and Merlin, alongside Elsa and Goofy and Winnie the Pooh. Oh and about four hundred more – with “Zootopia” fan favorite Flash Slothmore drawing the screening’s two biggest laughs."
Annecy Opens on Note of Artistic Defiance as Disney Premieres Centenary Short ‘Once Upon a Studio’
In response to tragedy, Annecy opens with heartfelt appeals and the world premiere of Disney 100-year short 'Once Upon A Studio.'variety.com
Yes as it appears to be a mix of multiple styles and characters covering 100 years of Disney.
No, that is one film that won't be referenced.
Hybrid film characters, possibly.
Seems like we're gonna be getting some deep cuts in this. Here's hoping the Br'ers will appear, considering characters from Mary Poppins will appear as well as this quotation:
I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm afraid Disney doesn't want anything to do with Song of the South. I mean, I don't blame you, I want them to be included too, but, because of the loss of Splash Mountain, I don't think we'll see more of the Br'er characters anytime soon. I'm sorry.
I wonder if Disney will eventually release Song of the South by 2039. That is when it goes into public domain if they don't release it somehow. Would Disney really allow that animation to fall into public domain? They will probably forget all about it.
Case in point with the Genie, I'm still not sure how to feel about them putting unused dialogue in the short.
At this point, I don't think the company will release it. They will just let it slide into public domain.
So it is pretty likely Disney will slide it into the PD and another company could release SOTS.
I believe there were internal discussions on how to handle a DVD release of the film back then. I'm not too sure though, as one of Leonard Maltin's ideas for a Walt Disney Treasures set was a dual release of Song of the South and So Dear to my Heart, which was promptly rejected. Would've been a helluva lot better than the Annette DVD.
This is probably the best way for them to approach it, something about the company profitting off somthing like this just doesn't sit right with me. It's the same reason why I felt apprehensive about Warner releasing the Censored Eleven cartoons.
I mean, you will be able to watch it on YouTube with no fear of copyright strikes.
Um, it's already been done. They premiere it at the Annecy Festival last month.
