I feel like it's cuts of different speeches put together, but it very well could be AI.

let me know if you find out if it was AI or his real voice I'm writing an essay for college about that ad and cant find him saying that quote anywhere.

The beginning of "Once Upon a Studio" made me tear up... When Mickey is rushing around getting ready, then sees the picture of Walt...he stops tips his hat and says, "Thanks" THAT was very touching!

In honor of 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company, here's the logo montage of Walt Disney Pictures that has led up to the new Disney100 logo. Meanwhile, at Disneyland Paris, they held A Costellation Celebration at the nighttime, either at WDS Paris or at Disneyland proper.

Yeah, the film was a Touchstone/Amblin production rather than a Disney one. I know Touchstone was owned by Disney but they always kept it a separate thing.

His shorts were produced by the company's Florida studio. Though I'm assuming they were counting the film, which was done primarily by Richard Williams' studio in England, as the main entity behind WFRR. That and there's also issues with the rights to Roger, who's still partially owned by Spielberg's Amblin company. Song of the South had about 20-25 minutes of animation in it, so a majority of its runtime is dedicated to the Uncle Remus/Johnny framing device. Other hybrid films (The Reluctant Dragon, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Pete's Dragon) were included in the short so it seems the Br'er characters weren't included for the obvious reasons that I won't (and don't want to) get into. One of the most glaring omissions is characters from So Dear to My Heart, a movie that was very personal and dear to Walt's heart (heh). Personally, I would've included Danny in the scene with Walt and Mickey's portrait, but maybe that would've made the scene a bit too sappy.

I'm so happy you noticed me!!

Roger Rabbit wasn't a Walt Disney Studios/Productions/whatever film; that's almost certainly why it wasn't included. Pete's Dragon was, though, as was one of the Mary Poppins penguins and at least one character from Bedknobs and Broomsticks. All of those were Walt Disney films.

Disney has released a new Disney100 video.

The Eisner Era of Disney would had done this approach. I still have fond memories of the 100 Years of Magic Celebration which Disney took effort into marketing between 2001 and 2003.

It was largely live-action though, correct? I also don’t think it was technically a WDAS film either. Was the dragon from Pete’s Dragon in the short?

I absolutely loved this short, and I want that picture, I already checked ShopDisney and they aren’t selling it, missed opportunity Disney.

I'm suprised Winnie the Pooh isn't in that artwork.

It’s just poor marketing if that’s the case. The Disneyland Paris parade led me onto a vie of the final day of the 30th and now Ive booked another trip
