The live action animated once upon a studio short in front of wish will now air on abc. But why? This has many worried wish has been delayed to next year.

Either way it’s such a random way to premiere it. I guess this might be the aftermath of networks not having new content to air right now too.

Short looks amazing, though. It’s a shame it’s not debuting on the big screen even if it does still get attached to Wish.

Nice to see some deep cut characters in there, but Disney's 100 years is about more than just animation, especially in a live studio tour…

Nevertheless, this is a welcome way to celebrate…er, something, however it debuts.

Hopefully it’ll be a) awesome, b) more than a couple of minutes long, and c) have a card that reads "see it again on the big screen with Disney's all-new Wish" on the end of it.

The short will be released on Disney+ the following day (a few hours after airing on abc):

I know it's become a bit of a running joke, but the way the Studio treats Hans from Frozen, you would expect him to be the most sinister and evil villain they have ever created. With no chance for a redemption arc, I'm convinced a live action prequel explaining why he is evil would go out of it's way to show us that he has no redeeming qualities and we should not sympathise with him at all.

Outside of that, I know I will check it out and then re-watch to spot all the cameos and hope that at least one character from The Black Cauldron appears.

Totally agree that Disney Studios is more than just animation, but I guess it's easier to insert animated characters in with each other than trying to insert archival footage of live-action characters or finding a decent (silent) look-alike that everyone would agree looks like the character.

Well, he did try to trick a marriage to take over another kingdom, tried to freeze anna to death and murder the queen of another country with a sword an act that would have got him executed in real life.

He did try to murder two girls in cold blood back to back.

He was, in fact, *so* bad that I deleted his number from my phone.

So now I’m Hans-free.

The, ahem, "new management" wants to keep Elsa's running misandrist "Sor-ree, Hans, not this time! ;) " joke from Frozen II, but let's be honest:
You wouldn't see Snow White doing the "Applecore, Baltimore" routine with the Old Witch and throwing an apple at her head.
(Well, maybe except for...oh, wait, they're not doing that Rachel Ziegler version now, are they?)

Also, the gag with Moana and Flounder just bordered on (maybe but not quite) the dismissive old-meets-new jokes we used to get on the old House of Mouse series that seemed to have a little too much Millennial fun at the expense of the Old Disney characters. (Eg. the Mad Hatter trying to pour tea with Mrs. Potts, or Jimmy Cricket warning Pinocchio that Pain & Panic are "a bad influence".)
Here, apparently, the Big 90's Four are now the "old" characters to be parodied by the post-Tangled 10's characters...Let's see how YOU like it, youngsters. :D

Wish will be loaded with 'legacy nods' to classic Disney films: 'They're all over the movie'

True be told, I’ve been a little underwhelmed so far, but this got me a bit more excited. It feels like the directors have got the right handle on this.
