I am a massive Star Wars fan and I agree completely. Though in DL it's even worse since they now have an entire Star Wars area on the west side of the park, yet Star Tours is still operating in Tomorrowland on the east side of the park.

You know, I got real excited when I saw the checkerboard floor because I thought we were finally getting some fun colorful 90s style design back from imagineers. Then I realized the only reason its there is because the original Disney Animation building has the exact same floor and they are basically just copying it lol.

Still, I would much rather have a copy of something whimsical from a time when design celebrated that spirit rather than something bland, modern, and muted

Wasn’t it only a working studio for like 5 years and wasn’t it mostly used to speed up work developed in California?

Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, Brother Bear, and a few strait-to-video sequels, right?

Seems silly to treat it as anything more than a small piece of Disney’s animation legacy.

If I remember right, that studio also did the “I Can’t Wait To Be King” sequence of Lion King, and then did major sequences for subsequent movies leading up to Mulan.

1989 - 2004 - so 15 years.

Mulan, Lilo, and Brother Bear were the three feature films done completely by Florida. That’s a pretty major bragging right to me.

and then portions of many other classics like Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan, Fantasia 2000, and yes the entire can’t wait to be king from lion king.

Weird you don’t think that history and heritage should be celebrated?

I didn’t mean to be disparaging- Brother Bear is one of my favorites, and I think it’s under-rated.

I just think the Florida studio played a small part in Disney’s animation legacy. Worth celebrating with a poster or mention in the new courtyard, for sure, but it’d be a missed opportunity if they were to make those characters/films the focus.

ETA: Oh, and 15 years really is much longer than I thought! So I was wrong about that. Thanks.

I would love some original vintage film posters of disney animation films on the soundstages inside the land instead of the new release promo theyve been doing.

At both DCA and DHS the modern billboards for upcoming movies have always been a giant theme-killer in my opinion especially at DCA where it is one of your first impressions of the park both before and after the re-imagining since they are clearly visible from the esplanade.

Ideally… the ones created in that studio.

That’s another reason Mushu was a better fit to host rather than…. Olaf.

Now that I think about it… it’s pretty fitting that an AA of Olaf is replacing a live artist in that building.

Especially since someone actually had to sit down and hand draw Mushu, Whereas Olaf was clearly created using the same device that I am currently typing this sentence on.

1989 to 2003 is not exactly five years.

Parts of most of the early 90s renaissance films were also produced there.
