Disney has launched its new Christmas short film, The Invisible Horse, bringing festive storytelling to audiences weeks before the holiday season. Released on November 9, the production has already attracted emotional reactions from viewers, with many praising its heartwarming message.
The film centres on Jack, a boy who believes he has outgrown the excitement of Christmas. While his family gathers to decorate the Christmas tree, he remains uninterested and chooses to keep his distance.
A magical encounter
Everything changes when Jack meets a mysterious invisible horse.
The unusual creature draws him into an unexpected adventure, rekindling his imagination and restoring the sense of wonder he thought he had left behind.
As they journey through snowy landscapes, Jack discovers that his invisible companion is not what it first seemed. The animal is revealed to be one of Father Christmas's reindeer, preparing to return to its festive duties.
New festive production
The three-minute film was directed by Dougal Wilson, known for Paddington in Peru.
The production also features appearances by well-known Disney characters, including Woody from Toy Story and Elsa from Frozen.

According to a report by The Sun, the film has generated emotional responses from viewers, with some saying they were moved to tears.
The Invisible Horse forms part of Disney's "Make the Holidays Magic" campaign, which aims to highlight the importance of family, imagination and giving.
As part of the initiative, Disney is also working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, supporting children living with serious illnesses.
