Walt Disney Animation Studios’ never-before-seen short “Get A Horse!” will be making its world debut on Tuesday, June 11, 2013, at the Annecy Animation Festival in Annecy, France. Starring the one and only Mickey Mouse, and featuring Walt Disney himself as the voice of the iconic character, this black-and-white, hand-drawn short follows Mickey, his favorite gal pal Minnie Mouse, and their friends Horace Horsecollar and Clarabelle Cow as they delight in a musical wagon ride—until Peg-Leg Pete shows up and tries to run them off the road.

The ABC  Television Network unveiled its 2013-14 schedule on Tuesday morning to Madison Avenue advertisers at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center .

Possessing the hottest broadcast drama series at the moment,Scandal,  the network didn’t waste any time to flaunt it to advertisers. ABC’s upfront presentation opened with a pre-taped skit featuring Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope and featuring Jimmy Kimmel.

Other highlights of ABC’s Presentation:

• The network slotted its highly anticipated television series spin-off of feature film franchise The Avengers, entitled Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
• Also slotted with high expectations is the  Once Upon a Time spinoff Wonderland .
• ABC has canceled as many scripted shows as it is keeping, with only two first-year programs surviving: Nashville, and the once-ridiculed aliens-next-door comedy The Neighbors.
• Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, and Scandal will likely find their seasons split in two, with approximately 12-episode runs this fall, followed by a hiatus in the winter (when new shows will premiere in their time slots) and then a return in the spring.
• Dancing with the Stars will be reduced to just one night a week, although it will continue to air in both the fall and spring.
• Altogether, the network will introduce seven new dramas (including a highly anticipated series set in Marvel’s Avengers universe), five new comedies, and one new reality series during the 2013-14 season.
• In addition to its new series, the network has ordered a new Toy Story Halloween special,Toy Story of Terror, to air in October; the original cast of the Pixar movie will return.

2013-2014 Schedules

ABC is trying something new on Tuesday nights. Make that many somethings new: the entire night will consist of first-year shows, led off by ABC’s splashiest new series, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The all-new Tuesday is made possible by a format change to Dancing with the Stars, where results will now be revealed immediately as part of the show’s once-a-week, two-hour Monday broadcast. Otherwise, the schedule is fairly stable, with the network attempting to break in yet another new drama at Sundays at 10p, while it will use The Middleand Modern Family as lead-ins to new comedies on Wednesdays in an attempt to finally find a half-hour that sticks. Those new comedies mean that the return of Suburgatory will be held back until midseason, as will the launch of five new shows. The Neighbors is the only returning show moving to a new night, and the shift to a less-demanding Friday slot could actually work in the show’s favor.
