Zenimation is a true work of art by Disney+ and the Walt Disney Animation Studios. It's an ASMR series that uses familiar Disney characters and scenes from the studio's various films to help viewers wind down. Using a mix of 2D and 3D animation, Zenimation takes viewers into a storybook world where everyone lives in peace and harmony and familiar Disney characters live happily with nature. Each episode takes us on a mindfulness journey through that world and shows how this cast of thousands cares for nature, learns through their experiences without speaking and fill their days with discovery. As well as its calming, unobtrusive tone, Zenimation shows us the various values of life in episodes such as 'Levity' and 'Kindness' such as 'Be young', 'appreciate the little things', 'take life slowly' and 'the tough can be gentle too'. There's even a moment that depicts the saying 'All For One & One For All'. I sometimes like to be like people who think mixing The Wizard Of Oz and Pink Floyd is a great idea and set the dialogue-free journeys through the world of Disney to various songs by artists like Nick Drake, BTS, Matisyahu, They Might Be Giants, David Bowie, Afterlife and Dire Straits, and even, much like Fantasia (clips from both this and Fantasia 2000 are shown in some episodes), classical composers like Debussy and Ravel. I think Disney+ would partner with Johnson's, who previously did Disney-related toiletries, to do Zenimation toiletries for children and parents, with vanilla and hibiscus extracts and an inspirational quote based on each episode, with a cream colour for the packaging, the familiar Zenimations logo and an outline of a scene from a certain episode, such as Simba for bubble bath and Stitch for wipes.
Zenimation is one show I'll add to my list of all-time favourite shows out there, and if I were to choose a favourite show from Netflix, it'll be Llama Llama because of its gentle slice of life tone.
