Disney Pic of the Week: Animation Courtyard

Posted on by Scott Thomas
When Animation Courtyard first opened, it was home to the Art of Animation building which housed a working animation studio. I remember seeing Disney animators working on backgrounds for movies like Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. Others animators would be inking cells for sale in Walt Disney World stores.

I will say my experience in watching it was not enjoyable. I saw Rivers of Light in its third … Continue reading "Rivers of Light at Disney’s Animal Kingdom"

Things change at Walt Disney World over time. Right now a lot of things are changing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
