This Oscar-winning short tells of a bull who preferred to sit under trees and smell flowers to clashing horns with his fellow animals. As luck would have it, an untimely bee reveals Ferdinand's ferocious side via pained howls and wild stomping. This lands him in the bull-fighting arena amidst characters based on Walt's animators with a matador reportedly modeled after Walt himself.

It's the tale of Chicken Little, only with Foxy Loxy being a cunning villain who uses a number of psychological tactics to drive a farm-ful of animals into a cave to be eaten. Slightly disturbing and quite political - most youngsters will probably prefer Disney's new, computer-animated take on the story, now in theaters.

Mickey is serving aboard Steamboat Willie under Captain Peg-Leg Pete (a longtime Disney villain). He is first seen piloting the steamboat while whistling, suggesting he himself is the captain. Pete then arrives to take the helm and throws him off the bridge. They soon have to stop for cargo. Almost as soon as they set off again, the as-of-then unnamed Minnie arrives, too late to board. Mickey manages to pick her up from the river shore. Minnie accidentally drops her sheet music for the popular folk song "Turkey in the Straw," which is eaten by a goat. Mickey and Minnie use its tail to turn it into a phonograph, which plays the tune. Mickey uses various other animals as musical instruments, disturbing Captain Pete, who puts him back to work. Mickey is reduced to peeling potatoes for the rest of the trip. A parrot attempts to make fun of him, but Mickey strikes him with a potato, knocking him into the river. The short ends with Mickey laughing at the bird struggling in the water. Steamboat Willie (1928) is an animated cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse released on November 18, 1928. It was the third Mickey Mouse cartoon—after Plane Crazy (May 1928) and The Gallopin' Gaucho (August 1928)—to be made and the first with sound. Disney used Pat Powers' Cinephone system, created by Powers using Lee De Forest's Phonofilm system without giving De Forest any credit. Steamboat Willie premiered at New York's 79th Street Theatre,[1] and played ahead of the independent film Gang War. Steamboat Willie was an immediate hit while Gang War is all but forgotten today. The cartoon was written and directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. The title is a parody of the Buster Keaton film Steamboat Bill Jr. Music for Steamboat Willie was put together by Wilfred Jackson, one of Disney's animators -- not, as sometimes reported, by Carl Stalling -- and comprises popular melodies including "Steamboat Bill" and "Turkey in the Straw". It is noted in the history books as the first animated short feature film with a completely post-produced soundtrack of music, dialogue, and sound effects, although other cartoons with synchronized soundtracks had been exhibited before, notably by Max Fleischer's series Song Car-Tunes made in DeForest Phonofilm starting in May 1924 -- and including My Old Kentucky Home (1926) -- and Paul Terry's Dinner Time (released 1 September 1928). The film has been the center of some attention regarding the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act passed in the United States. Steamboat Willie has been close to entering the public domain in the United States several times. Each time, copyright protection in the United States has been extended. Many people have claimed that these extensions were a response by the U.S. Congress to extensive lobbying by Disney; others claim that the copyright extensions that Congress has passed in recent decades have followed extensions in international copyright conventions to which the United States is a signatory. (See U.S. copyright law, Universal Copyright Convention, and Berne Convention.) The U.S. copyright on Steamboat Willie will be in effect until at least 2023 unless there is another change of the law. However, it is already in the public domain in Australia[2], Canada[3] and Russia[citation needed], the last due to a non-retroactive enactment of the Berne Convention[citation needed]. The film has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. In 1994, it was voted #13 of The 50 Greatest Cartoons of all time by members of the animation field. -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamboat_Willie

Clips: "The Little Mermaid" (1989) "Beauty and the Beast" (1991) "Aladdin" (1992) "The Lion King" (1994) "Pocahontas" (1995) Music: "When You Believe" written by Stephen Schwartz, sung by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. From "The Prince of Egypt" (1998) NOTE: I KNOW THIS SONG IS NOT A DISNEY SONG. I KNOW. I totally know that this is a pretty cliche song to do for a Disney music video, but it was the only song that really summed up what I was trying to say! Plus, I'd always been interested in making my own, as some of the versions I've seen didn't capture the full majesty of the song and movies together. So I had a go at doing that! Now, the Disney films I'm focussing on in this one are the films widely regarded as the "Renaissance" films; a term given to the Disney animated features released from 1989 to the mid 90s. This was a time where Disney animation exploded, virtually redefining the entire genre, making rival animation companies look totally insignificant. The respect of the stories, the quality of animation, the flurry of characters, and ofcourse the music were all essential and magical aspects that are included in all these films. I might just add that all 5 of these films won Academy Awards in music. The main reason I made this music video, you see, is because if anybody involved with Disney today were to watch this, I want them to realise that they need to start making films like this again. The quality of Disney films have severely diminished since their decision to stop 2D animation. My question is, why is Disney turning away from what they are famous for? While 3D animation is indeed the powerhouse of today, I believe their is ALWAYS room for another Walt Disney film. You ask any Disney fan on the internet and in person, and they will tell you that they need to return to their original formula. But my rambling aside, I do hope you enjoy this music video. Everything aside I also made this because I adore these films. They filled my childhood with priceless memories, and continue to bring me joy today. ENJOY!! DISCLAIMER: All films are the property of Walt Disney and music of Stephen Schwartz. This music video is purely fan made and non profit, not intended to violate or offend. Please don't delete me!

Der junge Hercules lebt als Sterblicher auf der Erde. Doch eines Tages findet er heraus, dass er auf dem Olymp das Licht der Welt erblickt hat und sein Vater kein Geringerer als der mächtige Zeus ist. Um aber auf den Berg der Götter zurückkehren zu können, muss Hercules erst beweisen, dass er ein richtiger Held ist. Mit Hilfe seiner treuen Freunde - dem fliegenden Pferd Pegasus und seinem Trainer Phil - lernt er, dass dabei nicht pure Kraft, sondern die Grösse seines Herzens zählt. Hades, der hitzköpfige Herrscher der Unterwelt, versucht inzwischen, unterstützt von seinen vorwitzigen Handlangern Pech und Schwefel, mit allen Mitteln die Macht über das ganze Universum zu erlangen. Hercules aber setzt seine Kraft gezielt gegen das Böse ein, um schliesslich den ihm zustehenden Platz bei den Göttern einzunehmen! Von den Zeichnern, die schon Aladdin und Arielle erschaffen haben, kommt dieser unschlagbare Mix aus Comedy, Action und fetziger Musik. HERCULES - göttliche Unterhaltung für kleine und grosse Helden!

Part 2 of 2. The well-known biblical tale is brought to life as a stop-motion musical, which feels more like Rankin/Bass's specials in the medium than a Disney production, only it's more stylized. Noah is advised by a heavenly voice that a great rainstorm is coming which will wipe out most of Earth's inhabitants. So he and his three sons build a boat to precise specifications and begin rounding up two animals of every kind, plus of course, their own women. When the lengthy time on the boat brings spirits down, Noah's sons provide some music to cheer everyone up. Interestingly, household items are used to create the characters; the whooping cranes have pencil beaks, corks are abound, and the moose's antlers are really sporks. This is a Disney oddity, if ever there was one, but it offers quite a fun time.

Professor Owl talks about the importance of melody in life, which he claims is only present in two animals: birds and humans. His interest lies in the latter, as he follows the human life cycle and illustrates different places you can find melody. This was the first American animated 3-D film; here it is only offered in 2-D.

The presence of a couple of guinea pigs at the Westcote railroad station create countless offspring as well as a load of paperwork for administrative bureaucrats including by-the-book agent Flannery when their owner won't pay the rate for standard pigs on them. Adapted from Ellis Parker Butler's story, this is one of the oddest shorts on the set, but it is certainly entertaining with its fast-paced, rhyming Irish-jig-like music.
