Fun fact about Get A Horse: that is Walt Disney himself voicing Mickey. They combed through all the old Mickey shorts where Walt voiced the mouse, and used them in the short
There were a few lines where they had to have another actor come in and record just a fill in. But you are correct most of it was classic recordings of the original actors.
I remember at one of the Oscar ceremonies, John Lasseter once stated in a video package, that in order for a up and coming filmmaker to leave an impression so they can make feature lengths, it's to make a short film.
Feast is one of my favorite shorts. When I first saw it I only focused on the dog. After watching it again I noticed the backstory about his owner and his girlfriend making me love it even more.
I wish Disney still did 2D animation with the Paperman style. It's a shame that they never did that because It shows that 2D animation can still evolve with today's technology.
@@beethovensfidelio But that's not right. 2D animation really needs to come into the light again. As much as I love Pixar I blame them for making Hollywood believe it's not profitable anymore
@@masterknife8423 Disney has more of a blame by purposefully killing 2d animation off with making box office flops of Treasure Planet, and Winnie the Pooh 2011 reboot for example.
*_Remember the times when Silly Symphony is actually a series of cartoon shorts made by Disney that wasn't Mickey Mouse? Those were the days before Pixar passed the torch._*
Not sure if you seen the first “Prep and Landing” special? But I heard it was supposed to be a short before “Princess and the Frog” but John Lassiter looked at it and liked it so much he decided to make it a Christmas special. “Tick Tock Tale” was originally gonna be released before the movie “Tangled” but it just got released on DVD.
Okay I was in Disney World and saw Get a Horse in an actual theater and HOLY CRAP it was AMAZING. If I hadn't been spoiled by it I would 100% have believed I was about to see a classic Disney short until they jumped off the screen. You can't get the full impact of its brilliance without seeing it live.
There was indeed supposed to be a third Fantasia centered around world music. Lorenzo, The Little Matchgirl, and the amazing short about the South African children flying their kites, "One By One" that premiered on The Lion King 2's DVD I believe were all meant to be a part of it. I really do hope they decide to pick something like that up again someday.
Dillon Ohlemiller Agreed. But I remember, Disney animation was in a very tough time at that point. The dark era of Home on the Range and all of those Disney sequels. 😆 That was when they closed their Florida animation studio and it looks like 2D animation was about to die off entirely. They have managed to find their ground with both 2D and 3D in the past few years though. I think if they wanted to do a third Fantasia now with all this new experimental animation, it could work.
Awwww I thought he’d include the SparkShorts. Kitbull was BEAUTIFUL as somebody who just adores bully breeds and grew up around them, seeing Disney so beautifully display how these dogs TRULY are was deeply touching for me. Went and hugged my staffie and cried for a good while after finishing that one.
The Little Match Girl went over my family's head, the ending did get me teary eyed. My personal favorite of all these is Feast Edit: I was blown away by Get a Horse when I saw it in theaters.
I've only seen the ones that were released alongside the films (Paper man for WIR, Get a Horse for Frozen and Feast for Big Hero 6) and the Tangled and Frozen shorts, I haven't seen any of the ones before them
Nathaniel Foga call me crazy but back in 2012 when I saw wreck it Ralph when the paperman short before it I was impatient for the short to end because I was so hyped for wreck it Ralph to come on.
Paperman's animation is surprisingly very adorable and creative. I think the style was used in the recent movie, Klaus (2019), and I admire it very much.
I am very proud to give a shout out to my mentor Thomas Blackshear for working on John Henry! I am so happy and thrilled Disney finally utilized his wonderful masterful work and art style! Thanks Doug for appreciating his work!
John Henry has been my favorite short, and from the movie "Disney's American Legends". Who else remember that old nostalgia movie? Me and my older sister does very much.
Personally, I hope Disney incorperates the Paperman/Feast style in future Feature Animated films. Paperman holds to this day as my all-time favourite short.
Ffffffffffff, it's a chameleon not a gecko. Also, you clearly haven't watched or read "Marley & Me." John and Jenny get Marley after they have been married for a few years, and the story is a slice of life take on how this dog influenced their lives and relationship as they go through life. It's one of my favourite books.
I haven't read the book, but I've seen the movie, and that was my thought too. There's plenty of stories about a dog+male owner relationship changing once a girlfriend/wife comes into the picture, but "Marley & Me" isn't it, since as you said, they don't get the dog until after they're married. It's much more of a "family and their dog" story.
@@Wawagirl17 I actually haven't seen many home wrecking boy and dog stories, but I feel like I know the trope by heart... "Hercules" is the only one that pops to mind. There are plenty of ones where the kids don't want the parent to remarry, "Nanny McPhee" and "My Girl" being examples.
Get a Horse! was shown in front of Frozen and that was a PACKED theater, FULL of adults, and the adults, the ADULTS were cracking up way more than the kids were. The kids were giggling sure but the adults were having a blast. It's funny-I know so many people who have that mindset of "oh Disney is just for kids, animation is just for kids" but shorts like these, they should remind people that no. They're for everyone. After all, as Walt himself said, you're dead if you aim just for kids. Adults are only kids grown up anyways.
Disney is one of the biggest reasons why I love, respect, and appreciate animation!!! Just literally watching different kinds of styles of animation ( traditional hand drawing, 3D/ 2D, and so much more) showing how they can tell a story, how they can bring a variety of characters to life and showing the worlds that they present, is amazing!!! I watched all of these shorts and they never fail to impress and inspire me! I'll continue being an animation and Disney Buff for my rest of my life 😭😭❤️❤️😍😍👏👏
Paperman is a masterpiece! I do agree that it probably inspired the animation style of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but it also likely inspired the recent animated movie Klaus (a movie that I highly recommend).
The Little Matchgirl was on the special features for The Little Mermaid platinum edition DVD (I’m a TLM fanatic so I just had to watch all the special features). I watched the short back in 2006 when I was in elementary or middle school, not knowing anything about the original Andersen story and wow did I sob, I still cry every time I see it (I don’t watch it often so even that brief clip in this video brought back the memories and I had to stifle tears)
I remember those days when Susie The Little Blue Coupe and Little House aired on Disney Channel back in 2000s. I wish Disney+ should bring back those shorts that I grew up with.
5:00 I really wish that this got a full length version, because I love the art style and the story for it, but I understand with the story it has which is kinda short can’t be stretched into a full movie, but i guess I have to work with the short!
I watched the little match girl because of you and I real enjoyed it and it brought tears to my eyes. When my kids get older I want to show it to them.
I was confused when I saw the Disneycember 2019 announcement video and saw Paperman and Lorenzo and I thought he was gonna review those 2 on there own.
Style that Paperman uses to callerd cell shaded and we have seen it a lot on several video games like Legdend of Zelda: Windwaker and Tales of Berseria.
John Henry, John Henry, John Henry is a mighty man! I remember they played that short for me and my class in the 5th grade. And, I still remember the chorus to the song years later.
I love these shorts like Feast and Get on a Horse, but Little Match Girl was too depressing, I can’t even watch it, it’s one of the saddest Disney cartoon!
Hessed3712 I could watch the Lion King and Bambi, because those scenes don’t ruin the whole movie unlike the little match girl, which from beginning to end it’s so depressing!
@@Markimark151 What's more depressing to me is what I've always taken to be the central theme of the original short story: No need to worry about earthly misery because everything ended fine. Look! The Little Match Girl is in heaven now! I really hope that's not what Hans Christian Andersen was going for, but I could never shake the feeling and it causes me to feel rather more negatively about the story than I would otherwise.
@GJMEGA1 Hans Christian Andersen writes a lot of dark stories, but I still feel the cartoon was a tearjerker, it’s like the Schindler’s List of Disney shorts!
What I really appreciate about these shorts is, they’re on par with the silly symphonies and the Disney rarities, they live in their own worlds and they each have their own unique, creative set ups you probably wouldn’t see in a 90 minute long film😌
I love paperman. I have the soundtrack for it. I love the music and the story. It definitely deserves its Oscar win. It's honestly rare for a Disney short to win an award.
Really? Because when the category for Best Animated Short Film was introduced in 1933, Disney’s first Technicolor animated short Flowers and Trees (1932) was the first recipient of that award and throughout the 30s it was Disney’s Silly Symphonies that were dominating the category from 1934 to 1940 with shorts such as The Three Little Pigs (1933), The Tortoise and the Hare (1934), Three Orphan Kittens (1935), The Country Cousin (1936), The Old Mill (1937), Ferdinand the Bull (1938) and The Ugly Duckling (1939). It slowed down eventually in the 40s, 50s and 60s with only 2 Disney animated shorts from the 40s and 60s decades and one from the 50s decade winning in the category with Lend a Paw (1941), Der Fueher’s Face (1942), Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom (1953), Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968) and It’s Tough to Be a Bird (1969). Actually check this link here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Animated_Short_Film?wprov=sfti1
4:00 Prep and Landing came out before Arthur Christmas. The short on this Blu Ray was filler between the airing of the first one in 2009 and the sequel in 2011
The Little Match Girl was a short on a The Little Mermaid DVD I used to watch often as a kid. Although I was really young, I understood how sad the story was and thought there was either a happy end or a sad end. Oddly, I preferred the sadder interpretation as a kid. I like Paperman a lot, but my favorite short is The Little Match Girl because of that sad nostalgic feeling.
I've seen paperman and I loved it the rest look pretty good as well I'll check them out too except for the frozen stuff I don't need to watch another commercial
I absolutely love all of these shorts, I can't even pick a favorite. They're all masterpieces in their own right and to call them anything else is silly
Fun fact, some of these cartoons played in front of no so popular film. I remember Lorenzo was played in front of that clunker Raising Helen, and How to Hook your Home Theater was in front of National Treasure 2. The Tangled Film played in front of the 3D reissue of Beauty and the Beast and John Henry was played in front of Tigger Movie in selected theaters.
I'm still waiting for a full length, animated film from Disney that uses the animation style from Paperman. Hopefully other movies like Spiderverse and Klaus will bring more interest to the 2D/3D hybrid animation.
How to Hook Up Your Home Theater was a warm up for The Princess and the Frog. With advancements in technology and the temporary closing of handdrawn animation, Disney's animators needed time to get re(aquainted) with the classic art style.
There’s also an additional Mickey Mouse cartoon available on the Digital Copy of the “Walt Disney Animation Shorts Collection” Blu-ray called “Runaway Brain” that has never had a wide release since the Walt Disney Treasures DVD “Mickey Mouse In Living Color Vol. 2”. Released theatrically in front of “A Goofy Movie”, “A Kid in King Arthur’s Court” and surprisingly a few years later with “George of the Jungle”, Leonard Maltin’s introduction from the DVD sums it up best in that it’s “not your parents’ Mickey Mouse cartoon”. With it’s fast pace and a horror movie motif it definitely stands out from many other modern Mickey projects.
I really enjoy these shorts, but i have to be honest, besides the Goofy and Get A Horse one, I like the ones that don't have "Disney" characters in them. I like seeing creators make these different shorts, with differing styles and stories, and different characters :)
My favorites are the goofy one, Little Match Girl, Paper man, Feast and Prep and Landing: Secret Santa. Speaking of which, can you review the two full-length Prep and Landing Specials either this Disneyember or the next.
The John Henry short is a nostalgic favorite of mine, it even inspired my family and I to take a trip to the place where it happened; a small town called Tallcott, WV.
The part in Frozen Fever where Hans gets slammed into a pile of horse dumpage by a giant snow boulder will always be hilarious. When I saw that in theaters, everyone in there just burst out laughing.
If Disney won't make a new Fantasia, then maybe a different studio could make a film with a similar concept, of shorts of different animation styles with classical music playing over them.
That John Henry short was actually a huge part of my childhood growing up. I don't remember what it was called, but I had a VHS tape of a bunch of American tall tales animations featuring Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, and of course John Henry among a few others, and I watched it so many times. :)
What I like about the shorts is that there's sometimes more creative freedom given to the creators behind them than what they're afforded on a full production movie. Rather than making something stick together with an overarching theme/plot/look/feel they can go and make something really different and unique.
As always, time to rank all these shows that Doug reviews based on what I think HE feels about them. Because it's fun and I want to. Let's go! 1. Gravity Falls 2. Gargoyles 3. The Mandalorian 4. New Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh 5. Avengers: Endgame 6. Kim Possible 7. Short Films Collection 8. Ant-Man & The Wasp 9. Doctor Strange 10. Sister Act 11. Spider-Man: Far From Home 12. House Of Mouse 13.Toy Story 4 14. Christopher Robin 15. Ralph Breaks The Internet 16. Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil 17. Frozen 2 18. Captain Marvel 19. Descendants 3 20. Dumbo 21. Lady And The Tramp 22. The Lion King
@@jeffbrehove2614 yeah he might gripe on that but I personally think this movie did it in a way that was really good compared to other films and who knows maybe he will think the same
@@Colejones9505 what made the liar revealed trope work in that film is that it was brief, and it tied into an emotional father/son moment, while in films such as A Bug's Life and Aladdin uses that trope and it makes the two films drag and predictable.

Frozen Fever
John Henry
Fun fact about Get A Horse: that is Walt Disney himself voicing Mickey. They combed through all the old Mickey shorts where Walt voiced the mouse, and used them in the short
In Fact, When Mickey said ''Red'', They had to combine Two Lines Walt did for Mickey, to make him Say Red
Aw, nice. :03
Um, no, the final line was by Jimmy MacDonald from Mickey and the Seal.
There were a few lines where they had to have another actor come in and record just a fill in. But you are correct most of it was classic recordings of the original actors.
Funner Fact: While voicing Mickey, Walt never said “red” and so they combined multiple clips of him saying words that have those letters in them
Anybody remember The Prince and the Pauper with Mickey Mouse? I loved that short! I rewatched it a bunch of times on Netflix.
Prince and the Pauper was awesome!
Then, Runaway Brain. 'Nuff said.
Heck yeah! Right before rescuers down under
I do. It's on Disney+ so I'll watch it again
I remember that. It was fun. :03
Shorts films I feel are a very useful tool in helping future filmmakers develop their own styles of storytelling before going into features.
JDude 93 Also good for experimenting with newer technology and techniques like with Paperman. ^-^
I remember at one of the Oscar ceremonies, John Lasseter once stated in a video package, that in order for a up and coming filmmaker to leave an impression so they can make feature lengths, it's to make a short film.
Little Match Girl makes me ugly cry! It's so beautiful and emotional
I cried when I watched the little match girl. It is so beautiful... but just as sad as it is beautiful.
Feast is one of my favorite shorts. When I first saw it I only focused on the dog. After watching it again I noticed the backstory about his owner and his girlfriend making me love it even more.
I wish Disney still did 2D animation with the Paperman style. It's a shame that they never did that because It shows that 2D animation can still evolve with today's technology.

You mean the frog?
REEEEEEE
What does it matter? A lizard is a lizard.
He may have done that on purpose. Eugene/Flynn always called him either a gecko or a frog as a friendly insult.
I'm so glad Doug covered "The Little Match Girl". I tracked it down and watched it tonight for the first time. Wow. Just... wow.

Because when the category for Best Animated Short Film was introduced in 1933, Disney’s first Technicolor animated short Flowers and Trees (1932) was the first recipient of that award and throughout the 30s it was Disney’s Silly Symphonies that were dominating the category from 1934 to 1940 with shorts such as The Three Little Pigs (1933), The Tortoise and the Hare (1934), Three Orphan Kittens (1935), The Country Cousin (1936), The Old Mill (1937), Ferdinand the Bull (1938) and The Ugly Duckling (1939). It slowed down eventually in the 40s, 50s and 60s with only 2 Disney animated shorts from the 40s and 60s decades and one from the 50s decade winning in the category with Lend a Paw (1941), Der Fueher’s Face (1942), Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom (1953), Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968) and It’s Tough to Be a Bird (1969).

@@hunterolaughlin that’s a lot of information
These were my favorite growing up. Lorenzo scared me but I loved the art style.
4:00 Prep and Landing came out before Arthur Christmas. The short on this Blu Ray was filler between the airing of the first one in 2009 and the sequel in 2011
The Little Match Girl was a short on a The Little Mermaid DVD I used to watch often as a kid. Although I was really young, I understood how sad the story was and thought there was either a happy end or a sad end. Oddly, I preferred the sadder interpretation as a kid. I like Paperman a lot, but my favorite short is The Little Match Girl because of that sad nostalgic feeling.
I've seen paperman and I loved it the rest look pretty good as well I'll check them out too except for the frozen stuff I don't need to watch another commercial
3:30 Well, technically, they ALL have faces, lol.
XD Clever.
I absolutely love all of these shorts, I can't even pick a favorite. They're all masterpieces in their own right and to call them anything else is silly
Fun fact, some of these cartoons played in front of no so popular film. I remember Lorenzo was played in front of that clunker Raising Helen, and How to Hook your Home Theater was in front of National Treasure 2. The Tangled Film played in front of the 3D reissue of Beauty and the Beast and John Henry was played in front of Tigger Movie in selected theaters.
out here hoping Klaus is the Christmas special this year
Love that he covered this
4:51 that raimi zoom though
You missed the Marvel reference in Get a Horse. One of the characters is wearing a shirt with Captain America's Shield on it.
The little match-girl is based on a H. C. Andersen-story (same dude who wrote the original Little Mermaid)
I’m gonna admit it: I like Olaf’s Frozen adventure
Same! Though I agree that it shouldn't have been shown as a before movie thing.
2:05 Spoilers!
She dies. What a twist, I know.
I'm still waiting for a full length, animated film from Disney that uses the animation style from Paperman. Hopefully other movies like Spiderverse and Klaus will bring more interest to the 2D/3D hybrid animation.
How to Hook Up Your Home Theater was a warm up for The Princess and the Frog.
With advancements in technology and the temporary closing of handdrawn animation, Disney's animators needed time to get re(aquainted) with the classic art style.
Get a Horse! is god damn HYSTERICAL. What a great little short.
There’s also an additional Mickey Mouse cartoon available on the Digital Copy of the “Walt Disney Animation Shorts Collection” Blu-ray called “Runaway Brain” that has never had a wide release since the Walt Disney Treasures DVD “Mickey Mouse In Living Color Vol. 2”. Released theatrically in front of “A Goofy Movie”, “A Kid in King Arthur’s Court” and surprisingly a few years later with “George of the Jungle”, Leonard Maltin’s introduction from the DVD sums it up best in that it’s “not your parents’ Mickey Mouse cartoon”. With it’s fast pace and a horror movie motif it definitely stands out from many other modern Mickey projects.
I really enjoy these shorts, but i have to be honest, besides the Goofy and Get A Horse one, I like the ones that don't have "Disney" characters in them. I like seeing creators make these different shorts, with differing styles and stories, and different characters :)
Basically, the shorts not part of a franchise
@@TailsFan369no2 yeah haha
My favorites are the goofy one, Little Match Girl, Paper man, Feast and Prep and Landing: Secret Santa.
Speaking of which, can you review the two full-length Prep and Landing Specials either this Disneyember or the next.
The John Henry short is a nostalgic favorite of mine, it even inspired my family and I to take a trip to the place where it happened; a small town called Tallcott, WV.
Cool! :-)
The part in Frozen Fever where Hans gets slammed into a pile of horse dumpage by a giant snow boulder will always be hilarious. When I saw that in theaters, everyone in there just burst out laughing.
I wish someone would talk about "Borrowed Time"......... That one has the heaviest hit of any Disney short or movie I have ever seen
Completely agree.
John Henry... Big Henry... Gravity Falls... golf ball people... Was THIS the inspiration for the funniest moment in the series?!
Actually, yes.
Pascal is a chameleon, not a gecko. Boy. Doug really doesn't know animals, does he?
Prep and landing’s first installment came out in 2009
Arthur Christmas came out 2011
Lorenzo was originally proposed as a full lenght feature.
If Disney won't make a new Fantasia, then maybe a different studio could make a film with a similar concept, of shorts of different animation styles with classical music playing over them.
That John Henry short was actually a huge part of my childhood growing up. I don't remember what it was called, but I had a VHS tape of a bunch of American tall tales animations featuring Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, and of course John Henry among a few others, and I watched it so many times. :)
I had that tape too and loved it as a kid! The John Henry short was always my favorite one
I had it on disc. My favorite had to be Paul Bunyan. :03
What I like about the shorts is that there's sometimes more creative freedom given to the creators behind them than what they're afforded on a full production movie. Rather than making something stick together with an overarching theme/plot/look/feel they can go and make something really different and unique.
As always, time to rank all these shows that Doug reviews based on what I think HE feels about them. Because it's fun and I want to. Let's go!

Hey critic I think a movie you should talk about either this Christmas or next Christmas is a movie called klaus
I'm pretty sure he'll gripe about *spoilers* the liar revealed story line.
@@jeffbrehove2614 yeah he might gripe on that but I personally think this movie did it in a way that was really good compared to other films and who knows maybe he will think the same
@@Colejones9505 what made the liar revealed trope work in that film is that it was brief, and it tied into an emotional father/son moment, while in films such as A Bug's Life and Aladdin uses that trope and it makes the two films drag and predictable.
@@gerawallstar3487 your right in personally hate that trope too but I think klaus did it well and your right that's the reason it works in klaus
