The Magic of Disney Animation is a show and tour located at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. A Disney animator would show guests how the characters in Disney animated films were chosen and designed. The attraction closed permanently on July 12, 2015. In December 2015, the building began to be used to house the Star Wars Launch Bay. In July 2025, it was announced that an updated version of the attraction will reopen in 2026, set to become part of Mickey Avenue in a new land, The Walt Disney Studios Lot.[2]

Summary

Originally, when the park first opened in 1989, the Feature Animation pavilion of "The Magic of Disney Animation", designed originally by award-winning experience designer Bob Rogers[3] and his design team BRC Imagination Arts,[4] included four connected experiences which explored the legacy of Disney animation. The tour commenced with the live action/animated short film entitled "Back to Neverland"[5] in which veteran newscaster, Walter Cronkite and comedian Robin Williams guided guests through the different stages in animating a feature-length film by turning Williams into an animated character in the form of one of the Lost Boys of Peter Pan. Following that introductory film, guest would witness the process of animation, first-hand, from elevated, glass-enclosed walkways within Disney's actual animation studio.[6] Several original cels from Disney films as well as several of the Academy Awards won by Disney films were on display at the attraction. The third segment of the animation tour was a short film in which Disney Animators described the joy of the art of animation. A finale film, entitled "Classic Disney" presented a montage of key moments from animated Disney films and shorts.[7]

An expanded production area was dedicated and opened on April 22, 1998, the same day Disney's Animal Kingdom opened. Chairman Roy E. Disney noted it in his dedication speech.

Magic of Disney Animation Productions

Inside the building which housed The Magic of Disney Animation, were the former production facilities of Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida. Some of its productions included:

Studio Closure

After the Orlando, Florida division of Walt Disney Feature Animation closed on January 12, 2004, the preshow was changed to one main showroom where a Disney animator showed guests how the characters in Disney animated films were chosen and designed, with the help of Mushu, the dragon from Disney's Mulan, (voiced in the show by Eddie Murphy's sound double, Mark Moseley.) After guests left the showroom, they were led to the area of the former studio with interactive games and a chance to meet characters from the latest Disney animated pictures. There was also a section called Animation Academy, where guests could draw their favorite Disney characters, under the guidance of a Disney animator.

On July 22, 2025, it was announced that Star Wars Launch Bay will close and The Magic of Disney Animation will reopen in 2026. The building facade will be renovated to resemble the Roy E. Disney Animation Building at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank. The guest experience inside will be themed after the Emmy-winning 100th anniversary short film Once Upon a Studio. The former Animation Courtyard will be renovated to resemble buildings on the studio lot at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank.[8]
