Lighten up your day with Disney's "As told by Emoji"

As a Disney lover, I am a faithful reader of their weekly newsletters. Within a couple of them, I have recently spotted a relatively new set of short videos called "As told by Disney Emoji"... and they're truly a must-see for any Disney fans.


It's no secret that Disney animated movies (naming classics like Pocahontas, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, and so many others) are memorable, loveable and fantastic masterpieces, but these synthesized emoji stories are really capturing the attention of millions of YouTube viewers that slowly grow in number and hunger for more Disney emoji stories.

The video series focuses in reimagining scenes, characters, props and any other important elements from several Walt Disney Pictures movies following the style of smartphone chats, and showcasing them as a short film. The clever use of emoji-looking characters and icons, which also interact with some of the smartphone's apps and functionalities (ex: contacts and maps), are the perfect combination to develop a trendy short version of the Disney classics.

You can find the "As told by Emoji" playlist within Disney's YouTube channel, currently including 10 emoji animations about the following movies: Aladdin, Frozen, Frozen Fever, Tangled, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Zootopia, Finding Nemo, Finding Dory, Cinderella, and their latest addition, Beauty and the Beast.


The first installment was launched on February 2015, with more of them making their way until now. The Lion King and Winnie the Pooh are the next ones in line to be launched by Disney Interactive Studios, who produces these incredible videos.

If you love this series as much as I do, you can jump right into the emoji fun by downloading the Disney Emoji Blitz! game from either app store, or from their webpage.
