Once Upon a Studio Is a Clear Sign Disney Should Embrace Classic Animation Techniques

Disney has been marking its 100th anniversary in spectacular fashion across its parks, merchandise and cinematic releases. While Wish is coming up and is sure to put the stamp on a year of celebration, Once Upon a Studio is a recent release that reminded everyone how the studio gained its reputation for making movie magic. The short film, which is currently available on the Disney+ streaming service, acts as a crossover of epic proportions. It brings together animated characters from decades of films into a live-action setting.Once Upon a Studio beautifully portrays the diversity of animation styles that Disney has tapped into across its rich history. But after 100 years, Disney is in need of a renewal. While sister production companies like Marvel Studios are looking to reformat their TV shows, and Pixar is attempting to leave its legacy on the big screen once more, Walt Disney Animation Studios is also going through an unprecedented period of change. The studio is evolving with the times and trying to chase animation trends. But what it needs to do is take Once Upon a Studio and learn to return to its roots.For decades, Disney had pioneered the traditional styles of animation. The studio is built on the back of the success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a remarkable picture that took the hand-drawn techniques used in shorter formats and created a cinematic spectacle on a scale that had previously never been seen. Many of Disney’s greatest movies use this two-dimensional aesthetic, whether that’s through manual methods or technological updates. The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, the list simply keeps going. And Disney has experimented with returning to this style with the release of Princess and the Frog, which still stands out among the recent archives. Disney 100 has already shown that there has to be a focus on animation for the studio moving forward, but in what form remains unclear.RELATED: Disney’s Halloweentown Deserves to Be Considered a Cult ClassicRELATED: Warwick Davis Says It’s ‘Embarrassing’ Willow Series Was Pulled From Disney+
