A major dose of Disney magic just graced Hollywood's biggest night.

Justin opened the ceremony by performing a mashup of his 2016 Trolls soundtrack hit "Can't Stop the Feeling" and Bill Withers' 1977 track "Lovely Day." While stepping into the audience during his set, J.T. briefly came face-to-face with his fellow The All New Mickey Mouse Club member, or Mouseketeer, and put his hand on his shoulder.

Later during the ceremony, Justin walked over to Ryan and shook his hand. 

And for those who don't already know, Justin is up for Best Original Song for "Can't Stop the Feeling." As for Ryan, he could walk away with the Best Actor award for his role in La La Land

It's a rare reunion for a duo who shares quite the history. Back when they were on The Mickey Mouse Club, the little Mouseketeers were roommates for a period of time.

And as they continued to find success in the Hollywood spotlight, the pair continued to stay in touch. In fact, both stars reportedly attended a Saturday Night Live after-party together in December 2015.

In addition to having success in the industry, both Justin and Ryan have found happiness in their personal lives.

Justin is married to Jessica Biel and share a baby boy named Silas. As for Ryan, he shares two daughters with his longtime girlfriend Eva Mendes

In other words, life really is pretty magical for these two stars.
