Disney Classic Shorts Restored Now on Disney+

There’s no argument that Disney Plus is the most essential streaming service. To have one place that houses all of the most iconic films made by Disney and Pixar is, well, magical all in itself. Often, Disney Plus will release new films to the streaming channel. Some are films that just debuted in theaters, while some are rather old classics that are premiering on the platform for the first time.

Restoring the Classics

To restore a short is no easy feat, with the gentle care it requires. For these 27 shorts, the restoration was led by Walt Disney Studios Restoration and Preservation stream. The director Kevin Schaeffer also worked closely with creative advisors. According to Disney, “This same team recently restored Cinderella and are currently working on a restoration of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
