Walt Disney Imagineering Slates September Opening Date For "Magic of Disney Animation".
Walt Disney Imagineering has revealed the opening date of The Magic of Disney Animation, an attraction at Hollywood Studios featuring experiences inspired by the Children's and Family Emmy Award winning short "Once Upon A Studio".
The Magic of Disney Animation, located in a large building at the end of the new Walt Disney Studios Courtyard, will open to the public on Sept. 14.
The Magic of Disney Animation will feature a collection of experiences centered around animation, including a learn-to-draw experience featuring Olaf, an indoor playground inspired by Alice in Wonderland artwork by Mary Blair, and a character meet-and-greet area.
Drawn to Wonderland Play Area
The new Drawn to Wonderland play area is designed for little kids. The look of the space is inspired by Mary Blair's original concept art for Disney's "Alice in Wonderland." The play area will feature the Queen of Heart's rose garden, a Mad Tea Party and the Cheshire Cat.
Off the Page character meet-and-greets
The attraction will feature a dedicated area for character meet-and-greets called Off the Page. It will be divided into sections that reference a different part of the animation process, including story, layout, hand-drawn animation, computer animation, lighting and effects. Visitors can take pictures with different characters in each space. Characters that will make appearances in Off the Page include:
Chip 'n' Dale in Hand-Drawn Animation
Donald and Daisy in CG Animation
Olaf, the summer-loving snowman from "Frozen," will host this new Animation Academy experience. Visitors will learn to draw Disney characters from Disney Animation artists who appear in a recorded video, while an animatronic Olaf adds his own humor to the mix. Each class will feature a different character that visitors will learn to draw, including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Genie, Moana, Stitch, Olaf, Ursula, Judy Hopps & Nick Wilde.
Actor Josh Gad, who voiced the character in the Frozen movies, recorded new dialogue for the experience.
While at The Magic of Disney Animation, visitors can also watch the Emmy Award-winning short "Once Upon a Studio" inside a dedicated theater. The theater has been enhanced with effects to bring the short to life in a new way.
