This was the one thing at WDW I was looking forward to and I can’t stand Olaf so…yeah…

He's the one animating in the Disney short that this whole area is based off.

Are they so creatively restricted by existing content that they couldn’t change the character that’s drawing? Why couldn’t it have been Mickey, Donald, or Goofy?

Appreciate the Mushu figure on the bookshelf as a nod to the old Animation Show.
So, this is a mix of the old Animation Show with Mushu and the Animation Experience where you learn to draw a character. Makes me wonder about the size of the Alice play area and the meet and greets in the rest of the building (If it'll just be those three things in there or if anything else?)
The whole building iirc is the "Enchanted Gallery" as well with a theater for the Once Upon A Studio Short.

I believe also 6 Meet and Greets were confirmed?

Because the entire area is based on a short? And they have those characters who appear in a different style than they would probably use literally steps away.

Mixed feelings on this. A new AA - awesome. Lack of live CM's involved- not so good.
It’s hard to be excited for the new AA when it’s a character that already has three fantastic AAs at another park in the resort. I doubt this one is going to be more impressive than the one that walks or skates. Completely redundant.

That came out of nowhere. I'm getting more and more exicted for this new utilization of this area everyday. Now I just really want to know what that new short theater experience will be, as I love sitting down and watching stuff like that
I believe the article confirms its a plussing up of "Once Upon A Studio" with added effects like the portaits in the theater moving around etc.

Yeah, just checked the updated Parks Blog and we have the full lineup now for the characters in "Off the Page!"
  • Mulan in Story
  • Rapunzel in Layout
  • Chip n’ Dale in Hand-Drawn Animation
  • Donald and Daisy in CG Animation
  • Goofy in Lighting
  • Stitch in Effects
All together we have "Off the Page!" (Meet and Greet), "Olaf Draws!" (Animation Academy), Once Upon a Studio Theater (Showing the Short), Enchanted Art Gallery (artwork that comes to life) and "Drawn to Wonderland" (Alice playground)

Huh so 8 characters technically, that's pretty cool! Hoping they do keep some of the roaming Characters though that I saw last time I was in HS because Chip n Dale roamed last I remembered. Goofy, Daisy, and Donald make a lot of sense since last I saw them, they were just outside.
