Disney’s 100th anniversary celebration: Our top picks from the iconic house of the Mouse!

Disney marked its 100th anniversary on Monday, likely with a grand celebration involving some of its most iconic characters such as Mickey Mouse, Snow White, Buzz Lightyear, Moana, Cruella de Vil, and the Hulk. The journey began on October 16, 1923, when Walt Disney, a budding filmmaker in Los Angeles, secured a distribution deal for a series of innovative live-action/animated comedy shorts centered around a girl navigating a cartoon world inspired by “Alice in Wonderland,” laying the foundation for what would become the globally renowned Walt Disney Studio. Since then, Disney has become an integral part of countless people’s lives through its myriad characters, movies, TV shows, and theme parks.

To honor the momentous occasion, Disney released the commemorative short film “Once Upon a Studio,” now available on Disney+, showcasing an assembly of the company’s most beloved personalities in what could be deemed the ultimate group photo. As the world joins in celebrating Disney’s illustrious history, we take a moment to highlight some of our favorite aspects:

1. The magic of live-action remakes – Disney’s timeless animated classics have found new life through modern live-action adaptations, captivating both new and old fans. The recent announcement of “Wish,” starring the talented Ariana DeBose, marks a pinnacle of the Disney 100 celebrations.
2. Unforgettable melodies – A classic Disney movie is often synonymous with an unforgettable Disney song. With contributions from musical giants like Elton John and Christina Aguilera, the Disney musical legacy remains unmatched. Notable classics such as “Feed the Birds” from “Mary Poppins” and the titular love song from “Beauty and the Beast” hold special places in our hearts.
3. Pixar’s animated masterpieces – Pixar’s exceptional animated films, including “Monsters, Inc.,” “Coco,” and “The Incredibles,” have captivated audiences worldwide, earning the studio numerous accolades, including 23 Academy Awards. The recent success of “Elemental” and the anticipation for “Elio” and “Inside Out 2” signify Pixar’s continued brilliance.
4. Marvel’s superhero domination – The Marvel Cinematic Universe, under Disney’s helm, has become a powerhouse in the superhero genre. Films like “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” have left indelible marks in the hearts of fans. Upcoming projects, such as “The Marvels,” promise to further cement Marvel’s cinematic reign.
5. ‘Star Wars’ legacy under Disney’s banner – Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm brought “Star Wars” under its impressive umbrella. The franchise has thrived under Disney, with blockbuster hits like “The Force Awakens” and successful Disney+ series like “The Mandalorian” and “Ahsoka,” while retaining the timeless appeal of classics such as “The Empire Strikes Back” and the original 1977 “Star Wars.”
