I’ve watched this short countless times with my niece. We both study the animation and all the intricate details that went into it. She’s going to love this video. I know I did! Thank you so much for making this!
I screamed HORRIBLY at the way Dinosaur was not only mentioned in passing but fully drawn attention to; that movie is so nostalgic for me, it's perhaps my biggest comfort movie ever, and seeing that it's remembered at all makes me so unreasonably happy because it's rarely ever mentioned these days. That's so amazing that not only is Aladar's original animator still at Disney but that he was so eager to work on the characters again... it just warms my heart to know that they haven't been completely forgotten :'D Amazing video all around, thank you for sharing it! I loved Once Upon a Studio, so it's so absolutely fascinating to see all the behind-the-scenes on it. One of my (many!) favourite things about that short is the way they were able to use archival recordings of Robin Williams that hadn't made it into the movie to give Genie new dialogue, so it made me really happy that you drew attention to that too!
I’m 30 now and I love Disney. My love for it started at 5 when I started watching the classics, and my brother gave me a Disney storybook for Christmas. I loved this tour! I’m also a swiftie. I like that Taylor’s music, similar to Disney goes through a wide variety of genres and eras. I love the diversity Disney has.
Great video. I visited the studio in 2011, before the massive renovation that went through - It was one of the most beautiful days of my life. The studio building is called the "Roy E. Disney Animation Building" and its construction was completed in 1994. The production of the film 'Pocahontas' in 1995 was already done there, the animators returned from Glendale directly there. In recent years, the studio has undergone a facelift and a particularly refreshing change.
Once Upon a Studio crushed me. I can’t watch it without tearing it. It was perfection. Just goes to show you don’t need a full feature to make an impact. Thank you! I hope these directors get to make a full movie someday. They certainly know how to tug at heartstrings.
Wow, you’re so lucky to be here at Disney Animation Studios, i’m very jealous. I wish I could be there with you Jace! Thanks for giving me a tour. I’m absolutely want to get there to take a picture with 543 characters. I watched this shorts countless time to let the world know who we are.
Thank you for conducting all these interviews! It's awesome to see more of the studio and hear so much about the short and the studio's process for everything. Amazing video!
EVENTUALLY, as a multifaceted filmmaker myself, I SHALL PRESENT MY PASSION MUSICAL HAND DRAWN PROJECT TO THE STUDIO as an authentic revival reminiscent to the quality of the Renaissance, featuring Alan Menken as the musical BACKBONE of the project
Fantastic video! I have watched Once Upon a Studio more than a dozen times! I’m from the UK and I visited the studio in March 2018 on my university trip and I even saw Eric Goldberg walking through the halls and then talking to one of his colleagues.
I toured the Studio back in 2012 with a D23 group and Darren Butters was our animator guide then. He did a great job and glad that he's still with the company.
I grew up watching Disney animated cartoons, and they were a magical impact in my childhood, and it inspired me to learn how to draw and animate If it weren't for Walt Disney I wouldn't be drawing anything.
Wow amazing edit and questions as always, Jace! Lovely that you got to meet Mark Henn. I once got to visit the old animation campus, but it was a treat to see a thorough look at the Roy building. Didn't meet Eric, but did see him exiting the building due to a fire drill haha
This is amazing! The history and talent in this place 🙌 still pinching ourselves that we were fortunate to experience the studio in person, unforgettable memory!
That was awesome and very impressive that you went to the Disney Animation Studio, so cool and brilliant. I remember watching Once Upon A Studio on Disney Plus last year on my birthday and I enjoyed it and it was a pretty cool birthday gift to me and it’s great seeing my favorite Disney characters returned in the short especially Aladar and the Lemurs from Dinosaur 2000 and The characters from Meet the Robinsons, great to see them again after all these years. Great experience and Congratulations at getting 100K Subscribers and keep up the great work.
As a huge Disney fan and cartoon fan, this just made me happy to see. I myself am studying to be an animator while also taking online classes on the subject, and I always look towards Disney for some good drawing and animating tips. Also, I love Once Upon a Studio!! It was a perfect love letter to Disney for their 100th anniversary, and you guys did an awesome job on all of it!😊❤
I could literally spend DAYS in this building simply admiring all the artwork on the walls. All these amazing cast members are so extremely talented!!!
Hi! My name is Omar, I am just a kid now, but when I grow up, I always wanted to work at Disney and Pixar. I make cartoons for my family to prepare for my future. I hope I get there someday. Like what Walt Disney says, "If you can dream it, You can do it"
2:13 Oh my Disney! From the big characters to the fine details of the tiniest characters! 7:55 Even when I'm just making storyboards, sometimes, I can't help but be very detailed, but this shows that we can be super detailed, but not too detailed. 9:28 Together with Robin William's voice, I want to cry everytime I'm seeing hand-drawn animation still alive and well via legends like Eric Goldberg. 18:00
The Walt Disney Studios is such a happy-go-lucky creative environment. It is a place without any conflict, tensions or stress between workers. It looks like all the staff get on well with each other and look forward to going to work everyday.
i love how this feels like an actual workplace. a lot of bts stuff, especially from big studios like disney, feel highly rehearsed or even scripted. but this feels like im doing like an actual in person tour.
I recently got to do a small tour here and I felt soooo honored to be there. I love drawing and the animation studio was amazing. Thanks for making this video and see more of this space! xx
Beautiful tour around Walt Disney animation studios after watching the great live action animated short “Once Upon A Studio”. I hope that Disney will go back to hand drawn 2D animation someday in the future. Also it’s great to see you on this video Mark Henn and once again hope you’re enjoying your retirement.
🎉 upgrade and hone your artistic craft ... upgrade your talent as much as possible before displaying your portfolio everywhere... someone will notice. 🎉
I love this so much!!!!!!!! It’s awesome you got to do a tour of the Disney Animation Studio. Once Upon a Studio is one of my favorite Disney shorts and I love that it features many characters from all 62 movies and many shorts released at the time and it’s an amazing and beautiful way to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary😍🥰💖💜💙🌈🦄📱
Passionate creatives are what add that magical spark to Disney Animation ( Disney or competing houses need more of them ). Also bring back 2d animation films, sure they are more labor intensive but that's what audiences want to see, and bring back animators such as Mr Baxter as creative directors alongside Mr Goldberg.
omg!!! I lost my hype to work there at disney a long time ago.... but now! I am willing to improve my skills enough to get there!!!! I cant wait to work in a place like that! thanks for making this video c:
I love this video. And also our family loves all of the Disney animations. I wish to visit this studio someday. Thank you for updating this video from a Japanese Disney fan.
I know we fans do criticise Disney and they are a huge company making a ton of money but these animations mean so much to me - I hope the people who work on them know that. I hope they know how much their work means to me.
It's interesting that all the progress in computer animation hasn't quickened the process of making the movies. That surprised me. The hand-drawn animators really accomplished quite a lot with very little. Respect. The CGI ones are beautiful as well.
On September 4, 2024, I went to the Roy E. Disney Animation Studios to audition to be a voice actor. A security guard told me that I needed an invitation, make a reservation online, and become a member of D23.
This actually made me very emotional. I love most of the CG films but I do wish they would find more opportunities to go back to traditional animation!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I want to work for Disney so badly, but I know they would never have me. I'm just a humble 2D artist. Happy for everyone who does get to work there, though! 😊
I’m a music producer, legitimately hoping I could ever make something for Disney! No matter what it is, Disney park, movie or a TV spot. Anything at all, I’m in!
Are you gonna meet Daniel Ross (the voice of Donald Duck), Debra Wilson (the voice of Daisy Duck), Tom Hanks (the voice of Woody) and Chris Evans (the voice of Buzz Lightyear)?
really wish 2d would return to disney's films & we got more disney crossovers outside mobile games/kh as ouas is so great being like a spiritual successor to house of mouse.(or the shelved short princess academy that was like once upon a studio but with every disney gal even including pixar/other parts of disney.:3)
I love how Eric Goldberg is just casually making fantastic art in the middle of his interview
Eric is the GOAT
I’ve watched this short countless times with my niece. We both study the animation and all the intricate details that went into it. She’s going to love this video. I know I did! Thank you so much for making this!
Thanks for watching Alex! Your channel is awesome.
@@JaceDiehl Aw, thank you!
@@JaceDiehl
Maybe you could have ask Mr. Goldberg to announced a all-new original 2D animated feature film in 2026.
@@DtoonsHi 👋
Wow you are a great legend and i wish i could go see the Roy E Disney animation building and i love Disney movies and stuff
I hope Disney Animation one day goes back to making a long-form hand-drawn animated project.
Maybe 2026 could be perfect for that
@@CreditsBean17 or 2029
I’d say in about 5 years time likely
It took a long time
Me, too! I do hope it will happen ASAP.

Well done piece. You are getting better at these. Great job. It feels like this should be on Disney +.
I want to visit Walt Disney Animation Studios.
@@IndriidaeNT Me too mate.
I could watch Once Upon A Studio on repeat!
The best part of this is hearing how much the animators love the characters as much as we do. It's beautiful

Walt Disney was a genius! He makes our dreams come true! 😊❤️
I miss the 2D traditional Disney animation feature film styles and I want them to return!
And the Stories Matter department is doing it's best to destroy everything Walt built!
Thank you for conducting all these interviews! It's awesome to see more of the studio and hear so much about the short and the studio's process for everything. Amazing video!
I hope one day disney will be back making the old magical stories like back then. Fantasy and romance. Really what made disney so magical
Been watching you for many years but I must say the quality and editing of your videos has exponentially grown. Huge congratulations to you!!!
That means a lot! Thanks for watching!
@@JaceDiehl My favorite "Once Upon a Studio" scene is the moment between Olaf from "Frozen" and Genie from "Aladdin."
What a lucky, lucky, luck boy. This video will be saved to my favourites.
