If you haven't seen this pop up in Disney+ over the last week or so do yourself a favor and go find it (I think they can also be found on YouTube). It's a series of 14 shorts directed by a variety of artists from all over Disney Animation, they made blind pitches and the directors were selected to create their own shorts with a team over a 4 month timeframe. The artists were encouraged to try things that are atypical of the Disney animation style, and per one article the shorts weren't originally intended to be viewed in public.



Each short has a quick intro with the director talking about the short, some are really fun and others are deeply personal. Overall it's a bunch of really fantastic, beautiful work. For me Puddles, Hair Jitsu, and Downtown were some of my faves, but they're all pretty great.



Bit more info on the project here if anyone is curious:

was hoping for a Short Circuit reboot complete with Fisher Stevens playing a stereotypical character.



But this is better

Yes this was showing up on the icons but hadn't clicked it yet.

Thought I was going to get to see Number 5 again

Watched the real Short Circuit with the wife and kids recently and 1. Awesome Movie and 2. Another reminder of what they used to get away with putting into a movie that was obviously made for kids. Nothing terrible or that I remember clearly but several times my wife and I looked at each other and then the kids to see if they responded.

But this time, Fisher Stevens plays a sub-Saharan African!
