I was ok till the music started ... then besides singing the lyrics so dear to my heart the whole time crying. Oh and I am 70 and have loved disney my whole life. Thanks Disney and Taika well done

Every Disney movie!! Okay, almost all will make you cry at some point. Let's you know you still have a good soul.

Glad I'm not the only one crying on here! Something about hope and love I guess, in these dark times.

[gilangsetyawibawa]

Hope they give this little guy a sequel next year when he travels around the world with Santa.

And yes, the song will appropriately be A Whole New World from Aladdin!

It was beautiful!

Thank you Disney for keeping the magic alive ✨️

this is absolutely gorgeous…..as a Cape Town freediver, and an Octopus Teacher groupie, and a Disney devotee and Children’s story content creator this ticks the boxes. Tears in my eyes. So so so magical ❤ AND the song as backing track 🎉

So lovely to watch Solomon Horta today. 10 out of 10. 😍💙💙💙

[RadityaNugraheni]

Didn't expect I will cry over a 4 minutes short film. So pure and heartwarming. Good acting from Solomon Horta!

[SuperZai-Bubby]

My wish is for peace to fill every heart, and for people to give and help without expecting anything in return. I hope we all show the love that resides within each of us, spreading it across the world. May we feel the Christmas spirit, not just on Christmas Day, but throughout the entire year and for the rest of our lives.

Disney just sometimes blows you away. Beautiful 😍

[wonjaeyi]

That cute cephalopod really is like Ariel ❤

[ÁineDonnelly]

What a beautiful short film. Solomon is fantastic, capturing the innocence and wonder all children if his age should have. Fair play Disney!

One Christmas, Disney promoted "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" and I thought it was an amazing choice. And now this Christmas, "Part of Your World" became another perfect choice in the song. Thank you for sharing your dream.
