A man with the strength of many
John Henry has been one of
my favorite stories growing up as a kid.
And I just love its timeless quality.
And after completing my work
on the feature film Mulan,
I started thinking about
bringing John Henry to life.
It's an amazing process.
We actually got to visit
the actual tunnel site
where the John Henry story
and the John Henry legend was born.
It's in a little town called
Talcott, West Virginia.
We had a ball putting
this short together.
And now, I'm very proud and pleased
to introduce it to you,
and hope that you enjoy it as much
as we did putting it together for you.
Wonderful

-Marvelous
-A man with the strength of many
-Yes, he was
-Brave and bold with a heart of gold
-John
-John Henry was a mighty man
-Mighty man
Born with a hammer right in his hand
Oh, oh...
Every soul has a dream,
and every heart has
a way to make it so.
Now, let me tell you
about my John Henry,
who laid down his life for his dream.
John and me were born slaves.
Nothing to call our own.
Not even each other.
Then the day of jubilation came,
and all the slaves were free.
And John vowed, "Never again."
And with that,
I had those chains forged
into a mighty hammer,
a present for John on our wedding day.
You'd have thought he'd gotten
his freedom all over again.
He said,
"Polly, I'll die with this
hammer in my hand."
And off we set to find work
and a place of our own.
Now, the C&O Railroad
had promised land.
Fifty acres to every man
who finished the line.
But when John and I came up on them,
they were already worn out,
and about to lose their promised land.
Lads, deadline's been moved up.
If we do not get to the
other side of that mountain,
we can kiss our land goodbye.
-What?
-That can't be done!
-We had a deal!
-It's not fair.
-We're working as hard as we can!
-I'll take you there.
And when did you
start building railroads?
Today.
Well, come on, John
You're the one
that we're depending on
Swing that hammer
with all your might
I know you can show 'em
how to do it right
Hoo, sha
Hoo, sha
Hoo, sha
John's hammer rang out,
and the tall tales grew.
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a mighty man
Born with a hammer
-A 10-pound hammer
-A 20-pound hammer
Right in his hand
I heard John's mama
liked to sew at night
So he pulled down the moon
for a little bit of light
Took a lot of cooking
to keep John fed
Ten dozen eggs
and eight loaves of bread
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a mighty man
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
right in his hand
He plowed the earth
So wide and deep
The seed he sowed
The ground had to keep
His hammer hit the earth
with such a mighty blow
Everything he planted
Would jump up and grow
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a powerful man
All our lives
we've been so poor
John, let me show you
what we're working for
Canaan Land, Canaan Land
Everybody working
for the Canaan Land
Home and freedom
hand in hand
Workin' for the Canaan Land
-Oh, movin' on down the line
-John Henry
John Henry came
right on time
-Now we're movin'
-Movin' on down the line
John Henry came
right on time
-Home and freedom
-Home and freedom hand in hand
Workin' for the Canaan Land
Yeah...
-What is that thing?
-It's a steam drill.
That thing's gonna take our jobs.
But... But we had a contract.
-We had a deal!
-Let's get it!
Push it over.
This ain't no way to settle things.
But, John, they're throwing us
away like we was nothing.
I've got a better way.
A challenge.
I've got two free hands
and a 20-pound hammer.
If I can best this here machine,
the land you promised is ours.
John, we're free.
You don't have to do this.
Polly, if they steal our dreams,
they put a chain around our souls.
Somebody's got to stand tall.
Believe in me.
-Go, John.
-John's gonna do it.
Come on, John. Show that steam drill!
Furthest by sundown, gentlemen.
-You can do it!
-This is it.
You can do it, John!
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a mighty man
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a powerful man
Hoo, sha
Hoo, sha
-Steel drivin' man
-John Henry was
-Steel drivin' man
-Oh, yes, he was
So proud defiant
A gentle giant
A steel drivin' natural man
John wins!
It's not sundown yet.
Well, a-come on, John
You're the one that
We're dependin' on
Swing that hammer
Bust that rock
Come on, give it
everything you've got
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a mighty man
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Right in his hand
John and the drill
made the valley shake
Rumblin' almost caused
an earthquake
Thunder and lightning
was everywhere
Oh, Lord, that battle
was beyond compare
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a powerful man
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Right in his hand
Aye, Polly, he did it.
And he was smiling
'cause he moved that mountain
and led us to the promised land.
You can move mountains, too, baby.
All you got to do is believe.
Don't you be scared of that
thunder no more, child.
The storm's done rolled away,
and that's just the sound of your papa
driving steel to glory.
So just remember.
No mountain too high
No valley too low
No river too wide
No place too far to go
Oh, believe
If you believe you can overcome
The battle is already won
Oh, just keep on
Just keep on keepin' on
Stand tall just like John
-No matter who you are
-No matter
No matter where you're from
-Nothing can stop you
-Nothing can stop you
From who you can become
Just keep on keepin' on
Keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-Stand tall
-Just keep on keepin' on
-You gotta keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-No matter
-No matter who you are
-No matter
No matter where you're from
Nothing can stop you
Nothing can stop you
From who you can become
Just keep on keepin' on
Keep on
Stand tall just like John
Just keep on keepin' on
I said keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-Hey, yeah
-Just keep on keepin' on
-Keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-Hey, yeah
-Just keep on keepin' on
-Oh, keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-Hey, yeah
I was asked by
Don Hahn and Roy Disney
if I would take over an idea
that Joe Grant had developed
of this cat named Lorenzo
who gets a jinx put on his tail,
and the tail comes to life.
He can't get away from his own tail.
Don thought it would be great
to go to a tango.
This was just a word to me, tango.
So I went to the store
in Burbank immediately
and went to the tango section.
The only thing I could do was
grab every CD that was there.
We end up going with
the first CD, the first track,
out of hundreds of picks.
It means the world to me
that we're finally getting it released,
so I'm thrilled to share it with you
and I hope you enjoy it.
Concentration.
The Little Matchgirl
was actually part of a project
that we were referring to at the time
as "The Music Project."
So we were really kind of working
at trying to make this really
deal with world music.
I've worked on a lot of features,
but the shorts offer, often times,
a unique opportunity for music,
where music can actually be the star,
or the co-star with the images.
There's no dialog
and no sound effects,
so the music is really
the one component
driving the emotional journey
with the images.
And now, for your viewing enjoyment,
The Little Matchgirl.
When John Lasseter
started soliciting short ideas
from some of the story people
in the department,
I was thinking about
some of the classic Disney characters,
and I was always drawn to
the classic Goofy short.
And I thought, "It would be great to see
a new How-To Goofy short."
No matter how many
of those Goofy shorts you look at,
we don't see the same
sort of technology back then.
So we did have to try and do
different variations of that.
We actually re-used
a couple of the backgrounds
from some of the old shorts
from the '40s,
and put them into this short.
So we hope you have your television
and all of its components
properly hooked up and connected.
-Choose the correct remote.
-Yes.
And trim off all those extra wires
sticking out the bottom of the TV.
Right. So, assuming that's all done
and ready to go,
we hope you enjoy
How to Hook Up Your Home Theater.
The greatest of sporting spectacles.
The most sacred of all pastimes.
Watching the big game.
Hey! Down in front.
On these glorious occasions,
there is no greater love
than that between the average man
and his television.
Modern sports fans, however,
can fully immerse themselves
in game day with a new
home theater system.
The advanced technology
practically puts the viewer
on the field.
A convenient trip to the neighborhood
electronics boutique
will fulfill all the
average consumer's needs.
Here lies a high-tech wonderland,
where audio-video dreams come true.
The heavenly journey begins
with a few key components.
The DVD, the CD, the LD
the DVR, the VCR,
audio receiver, AV cables, TV tables,
satellite dish with satellite,
the Blu-ray, the Green-ray,
the Hoo-ray, the hi-fi I-Y,
HDMI, the heebie-jeebies and
E equals M-C squared.
And don't forget the batteries.
They're not included.
Selecting the proper television
is of utmost importance,
and there are many models
from which to choose.
A conservatively-sized unit
is the most prudent selection.
I love you.
Let's move on, shall we,
to delivery day!
The wait is over!
Kickoff in high-definition
is just a few connections away.
And any moment now, the sights
and sounds of the big game
will fill the home.
The delivery truck will arrive promptly,
between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Any moment now,
the roar of the stadium crowd
will reverberate 'round the room.
Any moment now,
the viewer will be hopelessly lost
in pure televised wonderment!
Any moment now.
Right on time.
As the friendly drivers delicately
deliver the electronics
with their usual professional precision,
one should take great care
in unpacking the fragile components.
Items can shift slightly during shipping.
The enclosed instruction manuals
are of great assistance
to the average man.
Be sure to read
all the provided literature.
After removing the audio/video cables
from their consumer-friendly,
hassle-free packaging...
...connect them to the
appropriate cable jacks,
which are conveniently
located in the back.
The modern sound system
includes a multitude of speakers
to provide the perfectly
balanced soundscape.
The center channel,
left and right front speakers,
a-bit-more-to-the-left
and a-bit-more-to-the-right speakers,
surround speakers,
surrounding-surround speakers,
and various-overkill-to-ensure-
eventual-deafness speakers!
And the all-important subwoofer.
One should carefully
mount each speaker
in its proper yet discreet location.
Perfect!
And now, the marvel
of the most modern home...
Oh, for Pete's sake, look at the time!
The big game's starting!
Quick, quick! The remote control!
Wait!
You did purchase a universal remote.
At last! Installation is complete!
It is?
Gaze upon that pristine picture.
Savor the surround sound.
It's almost like being there!
I used to have this little clock that used
to sit up on our mantel at my house
and, every night,
I would turn off the light
to the family room there,
and I'd watch that little clock
go into the dark.
And clocks
have such a personality to them.
They literally have a face,
they have little feet.
It was very easy
to come up with an idea
where a clock would be
in a clock shop,
and have an attitude,
and a personality.
And I think what was
really interesting
about making Tick Tock Tale,
it was at a time where
we didn't have a lot of
the animators at our disposal.
We had trainees at the time,
and those trainees really did
a lot of the heavy lifting on this short.
A lot of people
put some hard work into it.
We were a little team,
but we had a lot of fun doing it,
and I hope you enjoy it.
You there! Stay right where you are!
Stop!
Most of our characters
that we like to create
actually are modeled
after people that we know,
or have elements of ourselves in them.
I think that's where we draw
a lot of our inspiration from.
So Magee, as a character, is the...
Christmas Eve command center...
-...Coordinator.
-Coordinator, right.
MPCECC for short.
Something like that, I think.
She's there to manage
Prep and Landing elves
and make sure that
their job is done in time.
And she has a similar look
and a similar design
as inspired by
someone that's on part of our team.
Someone we work closely with.
Maybe, visually, there's a little bit
of a similarity you can see there.
It's interesting having
a character modeled after yourself.
It's weird to see,
and things that they would write
into the script was like,
"Wait a minute, I don't act like that.
-"I don't say that."
-Yeah, she does.
We're so excited for you to see
Prep and Landing:
Operation: Secret Santa.
It's really near and dear to our heart,
and we hope you'll enjoy it just
as much as we had making it.
Hey, Wayne, do you think this is
some sort of drill or something?
Beats me, partner.
She said to meet her here immediately.
You're late.
Lanny. Wayne.
Roasting chestnuts, Magee!
What's the deal here?
I know as much as you do.
Clearly a "Silent Night" operation.
Your contact is waiting in there.
Good luck.
And if something happens to you,
I just wanted to say
I'm claiming your snowmobile.
-I canceled the insurance.
-Okay, bye!
What does she mean
"If something happens?"
-And who's this contact?
-Come on, it's the Big Guy's sleigh,
it could only be one person.
Mrs. Claus!
Keep your voices down.
Would you boys
like some hot chocolate?
I'm not sure if
it's appropriate for a secret meeting,
but, what the heck.
Anything for you
Prep and Landing elves.
Aren't you the stealthy ones?
Yup, that's us.
Good. Because I have
an important mission for you.
I need your special skills
in retrieving this item.
-A wooden box?
-It's tucked away in a secure location.
Inside Santa's office.
Of course, he practically lives there,
he's so busy this time of year.
But he does take his daily nap
just before 3:00.
I've recorded some more details
on this little doohickey here.
Don't let me down, boys.
This is a bad idea, Wayne!
Sneaking into Santa's office?
While he's sleeping?
We're going on the
Naughty List for sure!
-What's this?
-My hat.
And what are you doing right now?
Worrying?
And what do we do when we worry?
Put it in the hat?
Very good.
Stay in the hat. Stay in the hat.
Stay in the hat.
Lanny? Wayne?
What do you think...
You two are going on the Naughty List!
You get coal!
Ho! Ho! Go!
Lanny. Hey, hey, hey, Lanny.
I think my hat is leaking!
I hope this is recording.
Is this thing on? Okay.
This tree thingy
should be on the bookshelf.
You need to
lock each section into place.
I was never that good at
trimming the tree.
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
The most festive side always faces out.
Got it!
-What's happening?
-I have no idea!
Please don't wake up.
Please don't wake up.
Great garland!
By now you should be in
Santa's Secret Workshop.
This is where my husband likes to
tinker around
and keeps all of his treasures and...
Gosh, mostly just stuff
I don't want in my house.
This is so tinsel!
Watch out for that giant Nutcracker!
We used to have it in our foyer
and I would trip over that thing.
They should have called it
a hip cracker.
Now, let's see. The box is probably
somewhere around his work bench.
Just look for that giant pile of
manly clutter.
Jingle Time.
You know what this calls for?
The old Gift Exchange!
-Yes!
-Great job, Tree skirt.
Oh, frostbite.
Permission to worry now?
Permission granted.
-We're out of time!
-Not quite.
I've waited so long for this day!
Santa's had this wheel piece
tucked away for a long time now,
but the rest of it,
I finally managed to find again.
What is it?
Merry Christmas, sweetheart!
Oh, my. Is this what I think it is?
The first toy I ever made.
Thank you. Thank you all so much.
Mission accomplished, partner.
I really wanted that snowmobile.
So, The Ballad of Nessie, in my mind,
had the longest development period
of any short film in the history
of Disney Animation.
-You wanna talk about that a little bit?
-Yeah.
Actually, when I was a kid
I used to draw
these little dragon characters
all over the place.
I drew them on napkins
when my folks would go out to dinner,
I drew them everywhere.
And then 20 years later,
I went to animation school,
and I had to do a student film,
and I thought, "What should I do
my student film about?"
And I thought,
"Why don't I utilize the character
"that I'd been drawing
for the last 20 years."
What's remarkable to me
is how similar it is in certain ways
to what the final short
that we directed became.
When we met with our composer,
Michael Giacchino,
who's done the music
for all of our projects,
he came in with a musical theme
that he had himself written
many, many years ago.
When you have a strong piece of music,
it just really immerses you
into that whole world of Nessie.
It is... You feel like you're there,
and you're in there with her.
And now we're happy to present to you
The Ballad of Nessie.
In the bonny blue highlands,
where the bagpipes play,
lives a creature called Nessie,
but it wasn't always this way.
Before her great loch
had ever been seen,
shy Nessie lived life on
the moors of Glenkeane.
She was rumored a monster,
which wasn't quite right.
For she was really a softie,
with no bark, and no bite.
And with a wee friend that she
had, the kind loyal and true,
they played hide and seek
in a pond just for two.
Until one gloomy, gray day,
at a quarter past two,
from some distant, dark land,
came a tartan-clad crew.
With no time to waste, and a toot and
a bugle, no expenses were spared,
for tycoon MacFroogle!
This place is perfection,
it's just what I need.
With a few slight corrections,
it will be heaven indeed.
Her small protests
fell on naught but deaf ears.
Brilliant, sir, brilliant.
Nessie's anger burned bright,
her eyes flickered with tears.
Then a friend scolded, and told her...
Keep a stiff upper lip.
Don't cry, be a brave heart,
chin up now, pip pip!
Nessie gritted her teeth,
and decided to pack
her whole kit and kaboodle,
and her dear friend, MacQuack.
Fore!
She set off to search for a
new pond that could serve,
a place with no golf clubs
and no AstroTurf.
But every pond was empty,
every well was dry,
every trough was spoke for,
yet still she had to try.
She traveled each road,
and sought out every route.
But instead of finding home,
poor Ness got the boot.
And the reward for her efforts,
it was always this quip...
Only wee babies cry,
chin up now, pip pip.
Nessie finally pooped out.
She'd reached the end of her rope.
Where do you go,
when there is no more hope?
She stifled a whimper,
and a lump in her throat.
Chin up now, pip pip.
She recited by rote.
What began as a trickle,
soon turned to a shower.
Nessie cried and she cried,
she cried by the hour.
She cried cups, and pitchers,
and bottles, and buckets.
She cried tubs and barrels,
quintets and quintuplets.
For days Nessie cried,
nay, for weeks on it went.
Till one day she sniffed,
her tears finally spent.
In surprise she looked up,
at MacQuack there, afloat?
Dunkin' and bobbin'
in what looked like...
A moat, nay, 'twas a lake!
A great loch! Nessie gasped in delight.
Sure 'twas paradise,
with no golf tee in sight!
Nessie learned herself a lesson
on that bright and happy day.
And it bears worth repeatin',
no matter what folks may say.
Don't ever be afraid to cry,
it really is okay.
Sometimes it's through our tears,
we find a better way.
As for Nessie, and MacQuack,
well, they're still there, I guess.
Forever playing hide and seek,
all along Loch Ness.
So the original idea
for the Tangled Ever After
storyline was that,
they wanted to do a wedding
for Flynn and Rapunzel.
It was something that
we didn't get to do in the movie.
We wanted to give people the wedding.
We don't want to make fun of it.
We wanted you to feel like you saw
Flynn and Rapunzel get married.
But we also thought
we'd like to spend some more time
with Maximus and Pascal,
and see what kind of trouble
they could get into.
Coincidentally, when we were in story
on Tangled Ever After,
the actual royal wedding
of William and Kate
was happening
at the same time in London.
Yeah, it was a really fun way to
caricature real-world events,
and bring them into our fairytale world.
This is Tangled Ever After.
I hope you have as much fun watching it
as we did making it.
This is the story of
the day my life ended.
Eugene.
I'm kidding!
It was the happiest day
of my life: our wedding day.
The biggest shindig
to hit the kingdom in forever.
Everyone dying
to catch a glimpse of me.
Us! I meant "us."
Everything was perfect.
Just like I always dreamed it would be.
Yeah. Everything was...
Oh, come on!
They still can't get my nose right?
It was a magical day,
and everything went
just as we planned.
Well... Almost.
-Wow.
-Wow.
Wow.
Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here today
to celebrate the joining of Rapunzel
and Eugene in marriage.
They will live their lives together
as husband and wife
in everlasting peace.
May I have the rings?
Those were my grandmother's
wedding rings!
The kingdom is lost!
...and the mutual
respect which they bring
to their life together
had their roots in the love
and friendship and guidance
you have given them.
The union of two people...
Get that thing!
...held in reverence,
dignity, honor, respect...
Frying pans!
Commemorative frying pans here!
Get your frying pans here!
Frying pans!
That's the signal! Release the doves!
There's the doves!
Release the lanterns!
...in everlasting peace.
May I have the rings?
I... I...
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss.
Yay!
Happy birthday!
So! Who wants a piece of cake?
Paperman looks a little bit different
than most CGI animation.
John Kahrs, the director,
was inspired by coming to Disney
as the head of animation on Tangled,
and seeing all of
the hand-drawn art that's around,
all the line work, all the design,
and thinking,
"Could we get some of that
into our CG animation somehow?"
What's incredible to me is how
the experiments that
you and Jeff were doing,
and the line work
that John was falling in love with
came together to make a look
that really supported the story.
And it just was this incredible kismet
of two different techniques
that just live together
so beautifully in this short.
And here's Paperman. Enjoy it.
Lauren MacMullan, our director,
said it would be really great to do
a combination of hand-drawn animation
and CG animation
with Mickey Mouse
and with the classic characters.
They'd be behind the screen,
and they get through the screen.
And John Lasseter said,
"I want to make that short."
One of the exciting challenges of
Get a Horse!
was to create Mickey in CG,
to actually create
the computer animation.
There's all sorts of cheats
that you guys in CG had to do
to match the kinds of cheats
that we do in animation.
With Mickey's nose,
when you see it in a profile,
it points up like this, off the muzzle.
When you see it front-face,
it's actually flat on his muzzle.
So then, they had to figure out,
three-dimensionally,
how to do that
when Mickey turns his head.
-Enjoy the show.
-Have fun.
Minnie!
-Make way for the future!
-Hey!
-Mickey!
-Minnie!
I'm gonna knock you
right into next week!
Hey!
My nachos!
Hello.
Oh, my gosh! Red!
Mickey!
All alone, without your little pal.
-Mickey!
-Minnie!
Beat it!
-Now... Now, wait a minute, mister.
-Too late!
-Minnie!
-Mickey! Mickey!
Get out of there!
-Minnie! Minnie! Minnie!
-Mickey!
Gee, Minnie!
Hey, pal! It's you!
To get your messages, press one.
Hey!
Want some candy?
Alley-oop!
Mickey, where are you?
What the...
-Minnie!
-Mickey!
Minnie!
Give me back my phone!
Telephone!
Attaboy!
Yeah?
-Minnie!
-Help! Help! Help!
I'll save you!
-Mickey!
-Minnie!
Where are we? Poughkeepsie?
My nachos!
I knew I'd get you!
Here, bully, bully, bully!
Take that!
Hey, fellers!
Who done that?
Mickey, do it again!
Isn't it lovely?
Why, you little...
Hot dog!
Hey, wait a minute!
Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
Not again.
-Why, you...
-Do it again!
Hey!
You!
Pete don't like this!
Daddy?
It's you.
I used to have a little cat once.
Company dismissed!
-Minnie!
-Mickey!
Get a horse!
Goodbye! Goodbye, little feller!
Hey, come back here!
Hey!
The whole idea
behind Feast started out
with this concept of
telling stories through dinner.
This idea that the meals that we eat
have some kind of significance.
This idea that a single guy's meal
looks a certain way
when he's eating alone at home,
and then maybe on a first date,
the meal's arranged
in a very particular way,
like he's trying extra hard.
I wanted Winston to move
and act like a real dog,
and in order to do that, we had to
bring in puppies into the studio
to observe and to play around with.
Puppy days were so fun.
It was amazing.
I'd look up and I'd realize not only
was our crew there to play with puppies,
but a whole bunch of other people that
weren't working on the movie either.
It's amazing.
Thanks for watching, and enjoy Feast.
Welcome to Biggie Burger.
What can I get for you?
Would you like to make that
a Biggie deal for 99ยข more?
All right, let me read that back to you.
Whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
Our Eye-in-the-Sky
is telling me I-75 is clear
all the way down to the riverfront.
So pull out those bikinis,
slap on that sunscreen...
...and head on down.
Hello. Hey. Yeah, you coming?
Yeah. No, it's going
to start soon. How long...
And a high shot down the right side.
That's going to carry...
Tell her I love her!
I'm not going to let you die!
Martin back to throw, looking left,
-the short pass to Miller.
-Keep going.
-Keep going, keep going. Yes!
-Miller goes on a run
-all the way back.
-Oh, my God!
Touchdown! Yes!
Yes! Oh, man!
Hey, how was everything?
Oh, Winston loved it.
Great! Well, let me know
if you need anything else.
I have an older sister
and a younger brother.
I'm the middle child.
Middle child? I'm a middle child, too.
Really?
Yes, I have an older sister
and a younger brother.
Do you suffer from
Middle Child Syndrome?
-I think I do.
-Yeah.
You are asking for the impossible.
I know.
And down and up.
Those are the two requirements.
Adventure and fun.
Yeah, because you got to go.
You've got a good idea.
That's right, yeah.
-100%, that's it.
-Oh yeah, the same.
Noon clouds.
There's a 30% chance of rain during...
You ever wish
that you could dry your hair
and iron your shirt at the same...
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey! Winston!
Hey!
Hey! Who...
What the...
Whoa! Hey!
Sorry.
Come on, boy.
Wait.
So I'm here way too late
to help you celebrate
and be your birthday date
if I may
We had fun, sort of,
revisiting these characters,
and finding different sides
of their personalities
that we didn't get to explore
in the movie.
We always take from our own lives.
It was a story artist that reminded me
what I actually did with my kids,
and this was this string thing
that we did at Easter.
They each had a different color string,
and we would start them in one room,
and they'd have to follow their string,
and their color all through the house
to find their Easter basket.
Something to lead Anna through to find
all the gifts that Elsa was giving her.
And what a great challenge
for our art director
to create these two new,
beautiful dresses for the girls.
That was really fun.
It was real visual storytelling,
and that's what animation does best.
Please enjoy Frozen Fever.
Please enjoy Frozen Fever.
Nice job.
Okay, okay, here we go.
So lonely.
Stiff.
I can't do that.
Come on, Elsa.
This is for Anna. You can do this.
Relax!
It looks great!
I just want it to be perfect.
Speaking of "perfect..."
Check this out.
Kristoff, are you sure I can
leave you in charge here?
Absolutely.
Because I don't want
anything to happen to this courtyard.
What could happen?
It's all set.
Olaf, what are you doing?
I'm not eating cake.
Olaf...
But it's an ice cream cake.
And it's for Anna.
And it's for Anna.
-It's time!
-It's time!
For what?
-Okay, you sure you got this?
-I'm sure.
Don't let anyone in before we're ready.
-I won't.
-And don't touch anything.
I'm just gonna stand here.
I'm probably gonna walk around a little.
And keep an eye on that cake!
She thinks you're an idiot.
Well, clearly she's wrong.
What? It's fine.
I can't read.
Or spell.
Anna?
Yeah?
Happy birthday.
...to you
It's your birthday.
...to me
It's my birthday.
Come on!
It's my birthday?
And it's going to be perfect because...
You've never had
a real birthday before
Except of course the ones you spent
Outside my locked door
So I'm here way too late
to help you celebrate
And be your birthday date
If I may
Elsa, I'm thinkin' ya might have a cold
I don't get colds. Besides...
A cold never bothered me anyway
Whoa.
Fancy.
Just follow the string.
Wait, what?
I've got big plans
I've got surprises for today
Nothin' but nothin's
gonna get in our way
I've worked for weeks
Planned everything within my power
I even got Kristoff and Sven
to take a shower
If someone wants to hold me back
I'd like to see them try
Summer!
I'm on the birthday plan attack
I'm givin' you the sun
the moon, and the sky
Little brothers!
I'm makin' today a perfect day for you
Sandwich.
I'm makin' today a blast
If it's the last thing I do
For everything you are to me
And all you've been through
I'm makin' today...
A perfect day for you
They come in threes.
I'm fine.
Hey!
Surprise, surprise
this one is specially...
Wow, you've got me reeling
But I'm still concerned for you
I think it's time that you
go home and get some rest
We are not stopping
'Cause the next one is the be...
Elsa, you gotta go lie down
No way, we have to paint the town
But you need medical attention
Are you sick?
How about a cold remedy...
Of my own invention?
-No, thanks.
-We'll take it.
We're making today
a perfect day for you
We're making today a special day
We're singing a birthday song...
To make your wishes come true
-Wishes come true
-We love Princess Anna
And I love you too
So we're making today a perfect day
A fabulous day in every way
Yes, we are making today
a perfect day
I can fix it.
No, no!
All fixed.
"Dry Banana Hippy Hat"?
Come on. Now we climb!
Elsa, that's too much. You need to rest.
We need to get to our birthday chills.
I mean thrills.
Making dreams!
Making plans!
Go, go, go, go!
Follow the string to the end
You are my very best friend
-Elsa?
-What?
I'm fine
We're gonna climb
We're gonna sing
Follow the string
To the thing
Happy, happy, happy
Merry, merry, merry...
Hot, cold...
Hot birthday
Elsa, look at you, you've got a fever.
You're burning up.
All right
we can't go on like this
Let's put this day on hold
Come on
admit it to yourself
Okay...
I have a cold
I'm sorry, Anna.
I just wanted to give you
one perfect birthday.
But I ruined it. Again.
You didn't ruin anything.
Let's just get you to bed.
Oh, no, please, please stop!
Surprise!
-Wow!
-Wow.
We're making today a perfect day...
For you
We're making today
A smiley face
All shiny and new
There's a fine line between chaos
And a hullabaloo
So we're makin' today a perfect day
Makin' today a perfect day
A-N-N-A!
Makin' today a perfect day for you
Happy birthday.
Makin' today a happy day

For everything you are to us...
And all that you do
I do.
We're makin' today a perfect day
Makin' today a perfect day
Makin' today a perfect day
A perfect day!
-Okay, to bed with you.
-No, wait. Wait.
All that's left to do is for the Queen
to blow the birthday bukkehorn.
No, no, no.
Best birthday present ever.
Which one?
You letting me take care of you.
This way, Sludge and Slush
and Slide and Ansel
and Flake and Fridge

A man with the strength of many
John Henry has been one of
my favorite stories growing up as a kid.
And I just love its timeless quality.
And after completing my work
on the feature film Mulan,
I started thinking about
bringing John Henry to life.
It's an amazing process.
We actually got to visit
the actual tunnel site
where the John Henry story
and the John Henry legend was born.
It's in a little town called
Talcott, West Virginia.
We had a ball putting
this short together.
And now, I'm very proud and pleased
to introduce it to you,
and hope that you enjoy it as much
as we did putting it together for you.
Wonderful
Wonderful
-Marvelous
-Marvelous
-A man with the strength of many
-Yes, he was
-Brave and bold with a heart of gold
-John
-John Henry was a mighty man
-Mighty man
Born with a hammer right in his hand
Oh, oh...
Every soul has a dream,
and every heart has
a way to make it so.
Now, let me tell you
about my John Henry,
who laid down his life for his dream.
John and me were born slaves.
Nothing to call our own.
Not even each other.
Then the day of jubilation came,
and all the slaves were free.
And John vowed, "Never again."
And with that,
I had those chains forged
into a mighty hammer,
a present for John on our wedding day.
You'd have thought he'd gotten
his freedom all over again.
He said,
"Polly, I'll die with this
hammer in my hand."
And off we set to find work
and a place of our own.
Now, the C&O Railroad
had promised land.
Fifty acres to every man
who finished the line.
But when John and I came up on them,
they were already worn out,
and about to lose their promised land.
Lads, deadline's been moved up.
If we do not get to the
other side of that mountain,
we can kiss our land goodbye.
-What?
-That can't be done!
-We had a deal!
-It's not fair.
-We're working as hard as we can!
-I'll take you there.
And when did you
start building railroads?
Today.
Well, come on, John
You're the one
that we're depending on
Swing that hammer
with all your might
I know you can show 'em
how to do it right
Hoo, sha
Hoo, sha
Hoo, sha
John's hammer rang out,
and the tall tales grew.
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a mighty man
Born with a hammer
-A 10-pound hammer
-A 20-pound hammer
Right in his hand
I heard John's mama
liked to sew at night
So he pulled down the moon
for a little bit of light
Took a lot of cooking
to keep John fed
Ten dozen eggs
and eight loaves of bread
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a mighty man
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
right in his hand
He plowed the earth
So wide and deep
The seed he sowed
The ground had to keep
His hammer hit the earth
with such a mighty blow
Everything he planted
Would jump up and grow
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a powerful man
All our lives
we've been so poor
John, let me show you
what we're working for
Canaan Land, Canaan Land
Everybody working
for the Canaan Land
Home and freedom
hand in hand
Workin' for the Canaan Land
-Oh, movin' on down the line
-John Henry
John Henry came
right on time
-Now we're movin'
-Movin' on down the line
John Henry came
right on time
-Home and freedom
-Home and freedom hand in hand
Workin' for the Canaan Land
Yeah...
-What is that thing?
-It's a steam drill.
That thing's gonna take our jobs.
But... But we had a contract.
-We had a deal!
-Let's get it!
Push it over.
This ain't no way to settle things.
But, John, they're throwing us
away like we was nothing.
I've got a better way.
A challenge.
I've got two free hands
and a 20-pound hammer.
If I can best this here machine,
the land you promised is ours.
John, we're free.
You don't have to do this.
Polly, if they steal our dreams,
they put a chain around our souls.
Somebody's got to stand tall.
Believe in me.
-Go, John.
-John's gonna do it.
Come on, John. Show that steam drill!
Furthest by sundown, gentlemen.
-You can do it!
-This is it.
You can do it, John!
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a mighty man
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a powerful man
Hoo, sha
Hoo, sha
-Steel drivin' man
-John Henry was
-Steel drivin' man
-Oh, yes, he was
So proud defiant
A gentle giant
A steel drivin' natural man
John wins!
It's not sundown yet.
Well, a-come on, John
You're the one that
We're dependin' on
Swing that hammer
Bust that rock
Come on, give it
everything you've got
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a mighty man
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Right in his hand
John and the drill
made the valley shake
Rumblin' almost caused
an earthquake
Thunder and lightning
was everywhere
Oh, Lord, that battle
was beyond compare
John Henry, John Henry
John Henry is a powerful man
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Born with a hammer
Right in his hand
Aye, Polly, he did it.
And he was smiling
'cause he moved that mountain
and led us to the promised land.
You can move mountains, too, baby.
All you got to do is believe.
Don't you be scared of that
thunder no more, child.
The storm's done rolled away,
and that's just the sound of your papa
driving steel to glory.
So just remember.
No mountain too high
No valley too low
No river too wide
No place too far to go
Oh, believe
If you believe you can overcome
The battle is already won
Oh, just keep on
Just keep on keepin' on
Stand tall just like John
-No matter who you are
-No matter
No matter where you're from
-Nothing can stop you
-Nothing can stop you
From who you can become
Just keep on keepin' on
Keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-Stand tall
-Just keep on keepin' on
-You gotta keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-No matter
-No matter who you are
-No matter
No matter where you're from
Nothing can stop you
Nothing can stop you
From who you can become
Just keep on keepin' on
Keep on
Stand tall just like John
Just keep on keepin' on
I said keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-Hey, yeah
-Just keep on keepin' on
-Keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-Hey, yeah
-Just keep on keepin' on
-Oh, keep on
-Stand tall just like John
-Hey, yeah
I was asked by
Don Hahn and Roy Disney
if I would take over an idea
that Joe Grant had developed
of this cat named Lorenzo
who gets a jinx put on his tail,
and the tail comes to life.
He can't get away from his own tail.
Don thought it would be great
to go to a tango.
This was just a word to me, tango.
So I went to the store
in Burbank immediately
and went to the tango section.
The only thing I could do was
grab every CD that was there.
We end up going with
the first CD, the first track,
out of hundreds of picks.
It means the world to me
that we're finally getting it released,
so I'm thrilled to share it with you
and I hope you enjoy it.
Concentration.
The Little Matchgirl
was actually part of a project
that we were referring to at the time
as "The Music Project."
So we were really kind of working
at trying to make this really
deal with world music.
I've worked on a lot of features,
but the shorts offer, often times,
a unique opportunity for music,
where music can actually be the star,
or the co-star with the images.
There's no dialog
and no sound effects,
so the music is really
the one component
driving the emotional journey
with the images.
And now, for your viewing enjoyment,
The Little Matchgirl.
When John Lasseter
started soliciting short ideas
from some of the story people
in the department,
I was thinking about
some of the classic Disney characters,
and I was always drawn to
the classic Goofy short.
And I thought, "It would be great to see
a new How-To Goofy short."
No matter how many
of those Goofy shorts you look at,
we don't see the same
sort of technology back then.
So we did have to try and do
different variations of that.
We actually re-used
a couple of the backgrounds
from some of the old shorts
from the '40s,
and put them into this short.
So we hope you have your television
and all of its components
properly hooked up and connected.
-Choose the correct remote.
-Yes.
And trim off all those extra wires
sticking out the bottom of the TV.
Right. So, assuming that's all done
and ready to go,
we hope you enjoy
How to Hook Up Your Home Theater.
The greatest of sporting spectacles.
The most sacred of all pastimes.
Watching the big game.
Hey! Down in front.
On these glorious occasions,
there is no greater love
than that between the average man
and his television.
Modern sports fans, however,
can fully immerse themselves
in game day with a new
home theater system.
The advanced technology
practically puts the viewer
on the field.
A convenient trip to the neighborhood
electronics boutique
will fulfill all the
average consumer's needs.
Here lies a high-tech wonderland,
where audio-video dreams come true.
The heavenly journey begins
with a few key components.
The DVD, the CD, the LD
the DVR, the VCR,
audio receiver, AV cables, TV tables,
satellite dish with satellite,
the Blu-ray, the Green-ray,
the Hoo-ray, the hi-fi I-Y,
HDMI, the heebie-jeebies and
E equals M-C squared.
And don't forget the batteries.
They're not included.
Selecting the proper television
is of utmost importance,
and there are many models
from which to choose.
A conservatively-sized unit
is the most prudent selection.
I love you.
Let's move on, shall we,
to delivery day!
The wait is over!
Kickoff in high-definition
is just a few connections away.
And any moment now, the sights
and sounds of the big game
will fill the home.
The delivery truck will arrive promptly,
between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Any moment now,
the roar of the stadium crowd
will reverberate 'round the room.
Any moment now,
the viewer will be hopelessly lost
in pure televised wonderment!
Any moment now.
Right on time.
As the friendly drivers delicately
deliver the electronics
with their usual professional precision,
one should take great care
in unpacking the fragile components.
Items can shift slightly during shipping.
The enclosed instruction manuals
are of great assistance
to the average man.
Be sure to read
all the provided literature.
After removing the audio/video cables
from their consumer-friendly,
hassle-free packaging...
...connect them to the
appropriate cable jacks,
which are conveniently
located in the back.
The modern sound system
includes a multitude of speakers
to provide the perfectly
balanced soundscape.
The center channel,
left and right front speakers,
a-bit-more-to-the-left
and a-bit-more-to-the-right speakers,
surround speakers,
surrounding-surround speakers,
and various-overkill-to-ensure-
eventual-deafness speakers!
And the all-important subwoofer.
One should carefully
mount each speaker
in its proper yet discreet location.
Perfect!
And now, the marvel
of the most modern home...
Oh, for Pete's sake, look at the time!
The big game's starting!
Quick, quick! The remote control!
Wait!
You did purchase a universal remote.
At last! Installation is complete!
It is?
Gaze upon that pristine picture.
Savor the surround sound.
It's almost like being there!
I used to have this little clock that used
to sit up on our mantel at my house
and, every night,
I would turn off the light
to the family room there,
and I'd watch that little clock
go into the dark.
And clocks
have such a personality to them.
They literally have a face,
they have little feet.
It was very easy
to come up with an idea
where a clock would be
in a clock shop,
and have an attitude,
and a personality.
And I think what was
really interesting
about making Tick Tock Tale,
it was at a time where
we didn't have a lot of
the animators at our disposal.
We had trainees at the time,
and those trainees really did
a lot of the heavy lifting on this short.
A lot of people
put some hard work into it.
We were a little team,
but we had a lot of fun doing it,
and I hope you enjoy it.
You there! Stay right where you are!
Stop!
Most of our characters
that we like to create
actually are modeled
after people that we know,
or have elements of ourselves in them.
I think that's where we draw
a lot of our inspiration from.
So Magee, as a character, is the...
Christmas Eve command center...
-...Coordinator.
-Coordinator, right.
MPCECC for short.
Something like that, I think.
She's there to manage
Prep and Landing elves
and make sure that
their job is done in time.
And she has a similar look
and a similar design
as inspired by
someone that's on part of our team.
Someone we work closely with.
Maybe, visually, there's a little bit
of a similarity you can see there.
It's interesting having
a character modeled after yourself.
It's weird to see,
and things that they would write
into the script was like,
"Wait a minute, I don't act like that.
-"I don't say that."
-Yeah, she does.
We're so excited for you to see
Prep and Landing:
Operation: Secret Santa.
It's really near and dear to our heart,
and we hope you'll enjoy it just
as much as we had making it.
Hey, Wayne, do you think this is
some sort of drill or something?
Beats me, partner.
She said to meet her here immediately.
You're late.
Lanny. Wayne.
Roasting chestnuts, Magee!
What's the deal here?
I know as much as you do.
Clearly a "Silent Night" operation.
Your contact is waiting in there.
Good luck.
And if something happens to you,
I just wanted to say
I'm claiming your snowmobile.
-I canceled the insurance.
-Okay, bye!
What does she mean
"If something happens?"
-And who's this contact?
-Come on, it's the Big Guy's sleigh,
it could only be one person.
Mrs. Claus!
Keep your voices down.
Would you boys
like some hot chocolate?
I'm not sure if
it's appropriate for a secret meeting,
but, what the heck.
Anything for you
Prep and Landing elves.
Aren't you the stealthy ones?
Yup, that's us.
Good. Because I have
an important mission for you.
I need your special skills
in retrieving this item.
-A wooden box?
-It's tucked away in a secure location.
Inside Santa's office.
Of course, he practically lives there,
he's so busy this time of year.
But he does take his daily nap
just before 3:00.
I've recorded some more details
on this little doohickey here.
Don't let me down, boys.
This is a bad idea, Wayne!
Sneaking into Santa's office?
While he's sleeping?
We're going on the
Naughty List for sure!
-What's this?
-My hat.
And what are you doing right now?
Worrying?
And what do we do when we worry?
Put it in the hat?
Very good.
Stay in the hat. Stay in the hat.
Stay in the hat.
Lanny? Wayne?
What do you think...
You two are going on the Naughty List!
You get coal!
Ho! Ho! Go!
Lanny. Hey, hey, hey, Lanny.
I think my hat is leaking!
I hope this is recording.
Is this thing on? Okay.
This tree thingy
should be on the bookshelf.
You need to
lock each section into place.
I was never that good at
trimming the tree.
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
The most festive side always faces out.
Got it!
-What's happening?
-I have no idea!
Please don't wake up.
Please don't wake up.
Great garland!
By now you should be in
Santa's Secret Workshop.
This is where my husband likes to
tinker around
and keeps all of his treasures and...
Gosh, mostly just stuff
I don't want in my house.
This is so tinsel!
Watch out for that giant Nutcracker!
We used to have it in our foyer
and I would trip over that thing.
They should have called it
a hip cracker.
Now, let's see. The box is probably
somewhere around his work bench.
Just look for that giant pile of
manly clutter.
Jingle Time.
You know what this calls for?
The old Gift Exchange!
-Yes!
-Great job, Tree skirt.
Oh, frostbite.
Permission to worry now?
Permission granted.
-We're out of time!
-Not quite.
I've waited so long for this day!
Santa's had this wheel piece
tucked away for a long time now,
but the rest of it,
I finally managed to find again.
What is it?
Merry Christmas, sweetheart!
Oh, my. Is this what I think it is?
The first toy I ever made.
Thank you. Thank you all so much.
Mission accomplished, partner.
I really wanted that snowmobile.
So, The Ballad of Nessie, in my mind,
had the longest development period
of any short film in the history
of Disney Animation.
-You wanna talk about that a little bit?
-Yeah.
Actually, when I was a kid
I used to draw
these little dragon characters
all over the place.
I drew them on napkins
when my folks would go out to dinner,
I drew them everywhere.
And then 20 years later,
I went to animation school,
and I had to do a student film,
and I thought, "What should I do
my student film about?"
And I thought,
"Why don't I utilize the character
"that I'd been drawing
for the last 20 years."
What's remarkable to me
is how similar it is in certain ways
to what the final short
that we directed became.
When we met with our composer,
Michael Giacchino,
who's done the music
for all of our projects,
he came in with a musical theme
that he had himself written
many, many years ago.
When you have a strong piece of music,
it just really immerses you
into that whole world of Nessie.
It is... You feel like you're there,
and you're in there with her.
And now we're happy to present to you
The Ballad of Nessie.
In the bonny blue highlands,
where the bagpipes play,
lives a creature called Nessie,
but it wasn't always this way.
Before her great loch
had ever been seen,
shy Nessie lived life on
the moors of Glenkeane.
She was rumored a monster,
which wasn't quite right.
For she was really a softie,
with no bark, and no bite.
And with a wee friend that she
had, the kind loyal and true,
they played hide and seek
in a pond just for two.
Until one gloomy, gray day,
at a quarter past two,
from some distant, dark land,
came a tartan-clad crew.
With no time to waste, and a toot and
a bugle, no expenses were spared,
for tycoon MacFroogle!
This place is perfection,
it's just what I need.
With a few slight corrections,
it will be heaven indeed.
Her small protests
fell on naught but deaf ears.
Brilliant, sir, brilliant.
Nessie's anger burned bright,
her eyes flickered with tears.
Then a friend scolded, and told her...
Keep a stiff upper lip.
Don't cry, be a brave heart,
chin up now, pip pip!
Nessie gritted her teeth,
and decided to pack
her whole kit and kaboodle,
and her dear friend, MacQuack.
Fore!
She set off to search for a
new pond that could serve,
a place with no golf clubs
and no AstroTurf.
But every pond was empty,
every well was dry,
every trough was spoke for,
yet still she had to try.
She traveled each road,
and sought out every route.
But instead of finding home,
poor Ness got the boot.
And the reward for her efforts,
it was always this quip...
Only wee babies cry,
chin up now, pip pip.
Nessie finally pooped out.
She'd reached the end of her rope.
Where do you go,
when there is no more hope?
She stifled a whimper,
and a lump in her throat.
Chin up now, pip pip.
She recited by rote.
What began as a trickle,
soon turned to a shower.
Nessie cried and she cried,
she cried by the hour.
She cried cups, and pitchers,
and bottles, and buckets.
She cried tubs and barrels,
quintets and quintuplets.
For days Nessie cried,
nay, for weeks on it went.
Till one day she sniffed,
her tears finally spent.
In surprise she looked up,
at MacQuack there, afloat?
Dunkin' and bobbin'
in what looked like...
A moat, nay, 'twas a lake!
A great loch! Nessie gasped in delight.
Sure 'twas paradise,
with no golf tee in sight!
Nessie learned herself a lesson
on that bright and happy day.
And it bears worth repeatin',
no matter what folks may say.
Don't ever be afraid to cry,
it really is okay.
Sometimes it's through our tears,
we find a better way.
As for Nessie, and MacQuack,
well, they're still there, I guess.
Forever playing hide and seek,
all along Loch Ness.
So the original idea
for the Tangled Ever After
storyline was that,
they wanted to do a wedding
for Flynn and Rapunzel.
It was something that
we didn't get to do in the movie.
We wanted to give people the wedding.
We don't want to make fun of it.
We wanted you to feel like you saw
Flynn and Rapunzel get married.
But we also thought
we'd like to spend some more time
with Maximus and Pascal,
and see what kind of trouble
they could get into.
Coincidentally, when we were in story
on Tangled Ever After,
the actual royal wedding
of William and Kate
was happening
at the same time in London.
Yeah, it was a really fun way to
caricature real-world events,
and bring them into our fairytale world.
This is Tangled Ever After.
I hope you have as much fun watching it
as we did making it.
This is the story of
the day my life ended.
Eugene.
I'm kidding!
It was the happiest day
of my life: our wedding day.
The biggest shindig
to hit the kingdom in forever.
Everyone dying
to catch a glimpse of me.
Us! I meant "us."
Everything was perfect.
Just like I always dreamed it would be.
Yeah. Everything was...
Oh, come on!
They still can't get my nose right?
It was a magical day,
and everything went
just as we planned.
Well... Almost.
-Wow.
-Wow.
Wow.
Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here today
to celebrate the joining of Rapunzel
and Eugene in marriage.
They will live their lives together
as husband and wife
in everlasting peace.
May I have the rings?
Those were my grandmother's
wedding rings!
The kingdom is lost!
...and the mutual
respect which they bring
to their life together
had their roots in the love
and friendship and guidance
you have given them.
The union of two people...
Get that thing!
...held in reverence,
dignity, honor, respect...
Frying pans!
Commemorative frying pans here!
Get your frying pans here!
Frying pans!
That's the signal! Release the doves!
There's the doves!
Release the lanterns!
...in everlasting peace.
May I have the rings?
I... I...
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss.
Yay!
Happy birthday!
So! Who wants a piece of cake?
Paperman looks a little bit different
than most CGI animation.
John Kahrs, the director,
was inspired by coming to Disney
as the head of animation on Tangled,
and seeing all of
the hand-drawn art that's around,
all the line work, all the design,
and thinking,
"Could we get some of that
into our CG animation somehow?"
What's incredible to me is how
the experiments that
you and Jeff were doing,
and the line work
that John was falling in love with
came together to make a look
that really supported the story.
And it just was this incredible kismet
of two different techniques
that just live together
so beautifully in this short.
And here's Paperman. Enjoy it.
Lauren MacMullan, our director,
said it would be really great to do
a combination of hand-drawn animation
and CG animation
with Mickey Mouse
and with the classic characters.
They'd be behind the screen,
and they get through the screen.
And John Lasseter said,
"I want to make that short."
One of the exciting challenges of
Get a Horse!
was to create Mickey in CG,
to actually create
the computer animation.
There's all sorts of cheats
that you guys in CG had to do
to match the kinds of cheats
that we do in animation.
With Mickey's nose,
when you see it in a profile,
it points up like this, off the muzzle.
When you see it front-face,
it's actually flat on his muzzle.
So then, they had to figure out,
three-dimensionally,
how to do that
when Mickey turns his head.
-Enjoy the show.
-Have fun.
Minnie!
-Make way for the future!
-Hey!
-Mickey!
-Minnie!
I'm gonna knock you
right into next week!
Hey!
My nachos!
Hello.
Oh, my gosh! Red!
Mickey!
All alone, without your little pal.
-Mickey!
-Minnie!
Beat it!
-Now... Now, wait a minute, mister.
-Too late!
-Minnie!
-Mickey! Mickey!
Get out of there!
-Minnie! Minnie! Minnie!
-Mickey!
Gee, Minnie!
Hey, pal! It's you!
To get your messages, press one.
Hey!
Want some candy?
Alley-oop!
Mickey, where are you?
What the...
-Minnie!
-Mickey!
Minnie!
Give me back my phone!
Telephone!
Attaboy!
Yeah?
-Minnie!
-Help! Help! Help!
I'll save you!
-Mickey!
-Minnie!
Where are we? Poughkeepsie?
My nachos!
I knew I'd get you!
Here, bully, bully, bully!
Take that!
Hey, fellers!
Who done that?
Mickey, do it again!
Isn't it lovely?
Why, you little...
Hot dog!
Hey, wait a minute!
Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Oh, boy!
Not again.
-Why, you...
-Do it again!
Hey!
You!
Pete don't like this!
Daddy?
It's you.
I used to have a little cat once.
Company dismissed!
-Minnie!
-Mickey!
Get a horse!
Goodbye! Goodbye, little feller!
Hey, come back here!
Hey!
The whole idea
behind Feast started out
with this concept of
telling stories through dinner.
This idea that the meals that we eat
have some kind of significance.
This idea that a single guy's meal
looks a certain way
when he's eating alone at home,
and then maybe on a first date,
the meal's arranged
in a very particular way,
like he's trying extra hard.
I wanted Winston to move
and act like a real dog,
and in order to do that, we had to
bring in puppies into the studio
to observe and to play around with.
Puppy days were so fun.
It was amazing.
I'd look up and I'd realize not only
was our crew there to play with puppies,
but a whole bunch of other people that
weren't working on the movie either.
It's amazing.
Thanks for watching, and enjoy Feast.
Welcome to Biggie Burger.
What can I get for you?
Would you like to make that
a Biggie deal for 99ยข more?
All right, let me read that back to you.
Whoa, whoa.
Yeah.
Our Eye-in-the-Sky
is telling me I-75 is clear
all the way down to the riverfront.
So pull out those bikinis,
slap on that sunscreen...
...and head on down.
Hello. Hey. Yeah, you coming?
Yeah. No, it's going
to start soon. How long...
And a high shot down the right side.
That's going to carry...
Tell her I love her!
I'm not going to let you die!
Martin back to throw, looking left,
-the short pass to Miller.
-Keep going.
-Keep going, keep going. Yes!
-Miller goes on a run
-all the way back.
-Oh, my God!
Touchdown! Yes!
Yes! Oh, man!
Hey, how was everything?
Oh, Winston loved it.
Great! Well, let me know
if you need anything else.
I have an older sister
and a younger brother.
I'm the middle child.
Middle child? I'm a middle child, too.
Really?
Yes, I have an older sister
and a younger brother.
Do you suffer from
Middle Child Syndrome?
-I think I do.
-Yeah.
You are asking for the impossible.
I know.
And down and up.
Those are the two requirements.
Adventure and fun.
Yeah, because you got to go.
You've got a good idea.
That's right, yeah.
-100%, that's it.
-Oh yeah, the same.
Noon clouds.
There's a 30% chance of rain during...
You ever wish
that you could dry your hair
and iron your shirt at the same...
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey! Winston!
Hey!
Hey! Who...
What the...
Whoa! Hey!
Sorry.
Come on, boy.
Wait.
So I'm here way too late
to help you celebrate
and be your birthday date
if I may
We had fun, sort of,
revisiting these characters,
and finding different sides
of their personalities
that we didn't get to explore
in the movie.
We always take from our own lives.
It was a story artist that reminded me
what I actually did with my kids,
and this was this string thing
that we did at Easter.
They each had a different color string,
and we would start them in one room,
and they'd have to follow their string,
and their color all through the house
to find their Easter basket.
Something to lead Anna through to find
all the gifts that Elsa was giving her.
And what a great challenge
for our art director
to create these two new,
beautiful dresses for the girls.
That was really fun.
It was real visual storytelling,
and that's what animation does best.
Please enjoy Frozen Fever.
Please enjoy Frozen Fever.
Nice job.
Okay, okay, here we go.
So lonely.
Stiff.
I can't do that.
Come on, Elsa.
This is for Anna. You can do this.
Relax!
It looks great!
I just want it to be perfect.
Speaking of "perfect..."
Check this out.
Kristoff, are you sure I can
leave you in charge here?
Absolutely.
Because I don't want
anything to happen to this courtyard.
What could happen?
It's all set.
Olaf, what are you doing?
I'm not eating cake.
Olaf...
But it's an ice cream cake.
And it's for Anna.
And it's for Anna.
-It's time!
-It's time!
For what?
-Okay, you sure you got this?
-I'm sure.
Don't let anyone in before we're ready.
-I won't.
-And don't touch anything.
I'm just gonna stand here.
I'm probably gonna walk around a little.
And keep an eye on that cake!
She thinks you're an idiot.
Well, clearly she's wrong.
What? It's fine.
I can't read.
Or spell.
Anna?
Yeah?
Happy birthday.
...to you
It's your birthday.
...to me
It's my birthday.
Come on!
It's my birthday?
And it's going to be perfect because...
You've never had
a real birthday before
Except of course the ones you spent
Outside my locked door
So I'm here way too late
to help you celebrate
And be your birthday date
If I may
Elsa, I'm thinkin' ya might have a cold
I don't get colds. Besides...
A cold never bothered me anyway
Whoa.

Nothin' but nothin's

They come in threes.
I'm fine.
Hey!
Surprise, surprise

Wow, you've got me reeling
But I'm still concerned for you
I think it's time that you
go home and get some rest
We are not stopping
'Cause the next one is the be...
Elsa, you gotta go lie down
No way, we have to paint the town
But you need medical attention
Are you sick?
How about a cold remedy...
Of my own invention?
-No, thanks.
-We'll take it.
We're making today
a perfect day for you
We're making today a special day
We're singing a birthday song...
To make your wishes come true
-Wishes come true

Elsa, that's too much. You need to rest.
We need to get to our birthday chills.
I mean thrills.
Making dreams!
Making plans!

Follow the string
To the thing
Happy, happy, happy
Merry, merry, merry...
Hot, cold...
Hot birthday
Elsa, look at you, you've got a fever.
You're burning up.
All right

Let's put this day on hold
Come on
admit it to yourself
Okay...
I have a cold
I'm sorry, Anna.
I just wanted to give you
one perfect birthday.
But I ruined it. Again.
You didn't ruin anything.
Let's just get you to bed.
Oh, no, please, please stop!
Surprise!
-Wow!
-Wow.
We're making today a perfect day...
For you
