When You Wish Upon a Star.... - Disney Turns 100 Years Old

 "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing, that it was all started by a mouse."
- Walt Disney 1954

It all started 100 years ago, when the late Walt and Roy Edward Disney first crafted together the famous Walt Disney Company in October 1923. Over the last century, the company now run by Nancy Kanter, Michael Eisner, Bob Iger and one of the two stupidest CEOs of all time, the disrespectful Bob Chapek who deserves to get fired as punishment for having no belief in adult animation, the 100 years old running Mouse House has since then became the powerhouse for the ruler of children's entertainment domination. Acquiring the likes of Baby Einstein, Power Rangers, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic and 20th Century Fox since 2001, ten decades later, Mickey and Minnie Mouse still shows no signs of slowing down and brainwashing stupid hatetrains across the nation.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, a first of its kind for children's media, Disney has produced the new 100th Anniversary short film Once Upon a Studio which premiere Sunday on ABC and will play in theates before the release of the finale to the 100 Years of Wonder celebration, the new upcoming animated 2D watercolors crossover musical Wish set to premiere next month. In this short film, another one of these funny instances in which Mickey and Minnie breaks the fourth wall and brags about how many companies and franchises that they own, the recently passed away Bunny Mattinson teams up with an all-star cast of Disney characters and their original voice actors (some of which we never thought would survive in the COVID pandemic decade) as they scramble together to take a crazy Super Smash Brotjhers-esque company group photo to toast the century milestone of the Disneyland Magic Kingdom.

Among the returning voice cast who haven't worked with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto since 1988 in the last 35 years include the likes of Billy Joel, Richard White, Paige O'Hara, Jodi Benson, Nathan Lane, Mary Costa, Glenn Close, Ernie Sabella and the recently retired ELton John, along with some of the company's earliest actors back from the dead using AI voice technology, including Robin Williams (because deceased etelevision executives rules doesn't exist), Sterling Holloway, Eddie Carroll, Rod Roddy, Cliff Edwards and even Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Uncle Scrooge' original voice actors, the late Wayne Allwine, Russi Taylor, Clarence Nash and Alan Young.

In the emotional finale, Mickey talks to the late boss and creator, the legendary Walt Disney himself accompanied by the legendary Richard M. Sherman performing a new rendition of Walt's trademark song "Feed the Birds, Tuppence a Bag (Play It!)" from the classic 1964 five-time OSCARS®-record breaker Mary Poppins which gave British star Julie Andrews the American respect she deserved. The short ends with a rousing rendition of Cinderella's aria "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" and the company's national anthem, Pinocchio's "When You Wish Upon a Star" and a classic animation of Tinker Bell flashing the night sky from the '90s with the group photo in finished HD quality with a tagline dedication saluting all of the Mouseketters past and present who have grown up with Disney's classic works or have stuck around for some of their newest releases in the past 25 years or so.

So a toast of cheesecake with milk and an earraping fireworks display of gratitude to Bob Iger, Nancy Kanter, Roy Edward Disney, Michael Eisner, Gregory Sills, Mark Elliott, Brian Cummings, Cam Brainard, Allyce Beasley, Bret Iwan, Kaitlyn Rubrock, Wayne Allwine, Russi Taylor, Chris Diamatopolis, Tony Anselmo, Daniel Ross, Diane & Tress MacNelle, Bill Farmer, Jim Cummings, Alan Young, April & Paul Winchell, John Fiedler, Ken Samson, Peter Cullen, Travis Oates, Corey Burton, Maurice LaManche, Rob Paulsen, Jess Harnell, Frank Welker, Dee Bradley Baker, Richard & Robert Sherman and to the entire Walt Disney Company team past, present and future who have turned these two simple quirky mouse characters into the absolute bohemian rhapsody of the ruler of quality children's entertainment for over the last century 100 years and turning it into the phenomenon that it still is today.

Here's to the next 100, Mickey & Minnie Mouse! WE LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!!
