Reception
editJoel Keller of Decider found One Day at Disney Shorts interesting among some of the stories it provides, stated it manages to be informative across its episodes, explaining it highlights the profession of various Disney employees, while claiming the series also serves as a promotional video for The Walt Disney Company.[8] Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media rated the documentary 3 out of 5 stars, praised the series for its depiction of positive messages and role models, writing, "One Day at Disney is a docuseries that spotlights Disney employees to show how their creativity and vision bring the company's projects to life. [...] The content isn't a thrillfest, but the vignette format works to the advantage of tweens and teens who might want to see some of how the magic is made behind the scenes. What's more, the show inspires respect for a wide variety of careers and talent sets and demonstrates how teamwork and effective problem-solving are essential to Disney's success."[9]
