Continuing a legacy started in the earliest days of the Studio by Walt Disney, the Shorts Program is thriving today at the Animation Studios that bears his name, producing award-winning shorts that tell new stories and experiment with artistic and technical innovations. Now from the Walt Disney Animation Studios comes the Shorts Film Collection – an extraordinary new collection of award winning short films featuring the most celebrated Shorts of all time.
Have you ever wanted to own the best and most celebrated Disney Shorts? I don’t know about you, but watching the Disney Shorts before a full-featured movie is always my favorite! The Shorts always have the ability of full-fledged emotional storytelling in a small amount of time. We received a copy for review purposes, all opinions are my own.
The 12 celebrated Disney Shorts included in the Shorts Film Collection include:
- Frozen Fever
- Feast
- Get A Horse!
- Paperman
- Tangled Ever After
- The Ballad of Nessie
- Prep & Landing Operation: Secret Santa
- Tick Tock Tale
- How To Hook Up Your Home Theater
- The Little Matchgirl
- Lorenzo
- John Henry
Each of the Shorts include intros from the award winning filmmakers themselves!
