“Walt Disney Animation Studios: Short Circuit” brings an mixture of hand-drawn animation and CGI with “Life Drawings ” an original short film about dyslexia, the short will drop Wednesday, March 18 on Disney+.

Laughing Place gave details on the synopsis of the short as well the crew members.

“Life Drawings” brings a deeply personal story to the screen that has been nearly a decade in the making. An artist follows his passion from childhood through adulthood, his dreams of becoming a gallery artist gradually giving way to a career designing instruction manuals, before his health declines and he finds renewed purpose passing the torch to his daughter. The film carries the “Circle of Life” theme that Disney fans know well and is told entirely without dialogue, letting viewers bring their own experiences to the piece, as they might with a painting in a museum.

“ Life Drawings” is directed by Larry Wu _( “Tangled”, “Wreck It Ralph”, “Moana”, “Raya and The Last Dragon”, “Strange World”) _brings a deeply personal story to the screen that has been nearly a decade in the making with a beautiful mix between CGI and hand-drawn animation. Wu combines hand-drawn characters, animated using charcoal and grease pencil, with CG environments. The score evolves instrument by instrument alongside the story, from a toy piano in childhood to a full orchestra in adulthood.

Burny Mattinson consulted on the project in its early stages — his guiding note to “keep the fun” in the opening childhood section is a quietly moving reminder of how many generations of Disney storytelling live within these walls.
