In the comments, fans praised Kelly Ripa for doing an incredible job hosting. Moreover, they applauded how incredible Once Upon A Studio was.
What Is Once Upon A Studio?
Once Upon A Studio is a short film created in honor of Disney’s 100th birthday that aired on television last night. The short featured an emotional reunion of all the Disney characters created over the past 100 years. This emotional short shows how chaos ensues when Goofy tries to snap a photo and how the characters work together to make the magic of Disney happen.
The short involved production digging into the vault and grabbing old voice clips from movies for actors and actresses who are no longer alive. For example, old clips of Robin Williams’ voice were used to make his character Genie a part of the short.
