Disney Brings Magic to Hollywood Studios with New Animation Experience
The Magic of Disney Animation at Disney's Hollywood Studios is set to open on September 14. The new experience, explored in a recent episode of Walt Disney Imagineering's WED Walks series, features various Easter eggs throughout its Reception area and theater.
Upon entering the Reception, guests are surrounded by inspiration from the real Roy E. Disney Animation Building in Anaheim. Tiles on the wall showcase scenes from different Disney movies, while a chandelier composed of jars of 'paint' glows in sync with the lights in Off the Page! visible through the Reception's windows.
The paintbrushes hidden among the jars are adorned with animators' favorite colors. A Lost & Found area within the Reception displays items that have been misplaced by Disney characters, including Figaro napping on top of a box and the Sundrop Flower from Tangled.
In the Once Upon a Studio Theater lobby, images from films come to life, allowing guests to interact with some of them using their MagicBand+.
