TLDR

“This drawing is my soul. Do you like it? Yay, let’s be friends!”

What it's about

Disney animators show us how they draw some of the studio's most iconic characters and share stories about their art journey.

The take

There’s something about this series, in all its minimalist and intimate glory, that makes it feel like there’s an otherworldly method for making Pixar/Disney level animations. It feels warm and encouraging, as delicate music and matching film footage plays through the guide, and the artist periodically shares their unique drawing journey. Even if you don’t watch it for the art guide, it’s just as pleasant listening to them talk about their life stories and what they’re passionate about. Each episode is generally as open and warm as the person talking, and the format perhaps isn’t the most engaging for most kids, but like the best Pixar films, it’ll feel like a little hug.

What stands out

The time lapse closing credits are a really nice touch.
