Disney-approved anime shorts – Director Genshō Yasuda and His Disney-Approved Anime Shorts: A Milestone for Anime and Moana Fans
Genshō Yasuda, the visionary director behind Yasuda Gensho Studio by Xenotoon, has truly outdone himself. On Saturday, two stunning Disney-approved anime shorts were released, tying into the highly anticipated Moana 2. These shorts have taken beloved songs from the film and infused them with a distinctly anime-style flair, offering fans a fresh yet nostalgic take on the movie’s music.
Breathing New Life into “Moana 2” Song (Disney-approved anime shorts)
The first short showcases the emotional track “Kaettekita, Honto no Watashi ni” (translated as “I’ve Returned, to the True Me”), also known as the “We’re Back” song in the English version. Watching it feels like an intimate conversation, as if the characters are sharing their personal breakthroughs with you directly. The visuals amplify the song’s message of self-discovery—something that resonates deeply with anyone who’s ever had to rediscover themselves.
The second short, “Beyond ~Koete Yukō”, or the “Beyond” song, takes it even further. The animation captures the essence of daring to leap into the unknown, something I’ve personally struggled with—and I know I’m not alone in that. Whether you’re facing a career change, taking a risk in love, or just trying to find yourself, this short is an emotional gut-punch in the best way.
Future Releases to Look Forward To
But Yasuda isn’t stopping here. His studio is preparing to release more videos, including Sonim’s “Mayoe” (“Get Lost”) for Matangi and Matsuya Onoe’s “Dekiru sa! Chee Hoo!” (“Can I Get a Chee Hoo?”) for Maui. Each song promises to delve into the deeper motivations of these beloved characters, blending Disney’s charm with Yasuda’s knack for visual storytelling.
Yasuda’s Growing Legac
Genshō Yasuda isn’t new to the scene. Just this August, his studio brought us the anime mini-short “Catch of the Day” for the NFT project Azuki. And if that wasn’t enough, his directorial debut for a full-length film, Make a Girl, had its world premiere in Hollywood on November 3. I can only imagine what it must feel like to see your indie project make waves on the global stage. This film is set to open in Japan on January 31, and judging by Yasuda’s track record, it’s bound to be spectacular.
A Personal Connection to Yasuda’s Work
What I love most about Yasuda’s projects is the way he captures universal emotions—those moments where characters aren’t just animated, but alive. Watching his shorts reminded me of a time I took a leap of faith myself, leaving behind something familiar to chase a dream. His work makes you feel like you’re not alone in those experiences.
If you’re as excited about Moana 2 and Yasuda’s other projects as I am, trust me—you don’t want to miss these shorts. They’re not just entertainment; they’re a heartfelt celebration of courage, self-discovery, and artistic collaboration.
