One by One (2004 film)

One by One is a traditionally animated short film directed by Pixote Hunt and released by Walt Disney Pictures on August 31, 2004, as an extra feature on the DVD release of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride Special Edition.

[1] The film shows a story of children from a South African town flying kites down a hill after one boy is inspired by a colourful feather floating from the sky.

The children find materials from places all over the town and produce equally colourful kites.

The short film takes its title and inspiration from One by One, a "freedom song" written and performed by Lebo M for The Lion King.

Although the song was cut from the final film, it did make it into the Disney Theatrical adaptation, before being used on this short.
