The Archway for the Animation Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios reminds me of the old Hollywood Movie Lot entrances from the 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s. Large, colorful and ornate structures to give an air of importance to the film industry. That bigger than life feeling the Studios of back then and today try to give their audiences.
Upon walking through the Animation Courtyard archway, you can visit the Disney TV stars in Disney Junior Live!, be immersed under the sea in the Voyage of the Little Mermaid or learn how animated features are brought to the screen in The Magic of Disney Animation.
