Disney has announced that they will be debuting a collection of over 20(!!) NEWLY restored Walt Disney Animation Studios classic shorts starting Friday, July 7th.
The shorts will feature everyone from Mickey and Minnie to Oswald, Donald Duck, and others! There will be classics you may have seen before along with some lesser-known titles you might not be as familiar with.
According to Disney, “Chips Ahoy, a 1956 CinemaScope short starring Donald Duck and his chipmunk rivals, will conclude the series in October.” That all leads up to the official date of the Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary on Monday, October 16th.
The restorations were led by Walt Disney Studios Restoration and Preservation team. Dorothy McKim, special projects and 2D animation producer, shared “We’re very excited to be sharing these wonderful shorts with the Disney+ audience. They have never looked or sounded better.”

Hold on you can’t even hold willow on disney+ after 6 months but you can add 20 new shows? I feel like disney+ has no idea how to run a app is this why your about to take off more shows n movies too for these movies and shows?
If so I call anarchy -_-
Cause literally who is gonna watch these?
Yvonne, read the article before you respond. Disney+ is not adding “20 new shows.” They are adding twenty short cartoons from the Disney Vault that were all made years ago and are being restored for the streaming service. Most of them were even available on DVD previously. Anarchy? And the people who will watch them are “literally” Disney fans.
