My animation teacher, Jason Peltz, used to work at the Florida studio as an assistant clean up animator on films like hunchback, Hercules, Tarzan, Mulan, Lilo and stitch, the John Henry short, brother bear, etc. Great guy, and longtime friend.
I don’t know if anyone knew about this, but Ted Ty, the animation Director of nimona, used to work at this studio before moving to double negative animation.
My parents worked in this studio! I saw what was left of the studio before they turned it into the Star Wars museum thing, but I was so young then. I wish I was alive back when they were actually working there.
Great video! Good work. I worked at the Florida studio from opening day til closing day, 15 years. It was the best job on the planet, it's sad that the entire Florida Animation legacy is gone. I don't even go to the park when we visit Florida now... Everyone that worked there was very proud of our work, especially on our own features, Mulan, Lilo and Stitch and Brother Bear.
Fascinating story, you could say this editorial is a companion piece to the Animation Lookback on Walt Disney Animation Studios. I have been to that studio once in 2010 and again in 2013, where it was more of an attraction than a working studio.
I didn’t expect this from you AniMat, but thank you for doing a video dedicated to Walt Disney animation’s Florida studio. Makes me proud to be Floridian.
My first visit to this very park was 2006. Although the huge workspace where all the animators were seated were gone by then, what remained were the windows to storyboard rooms displaying how a scene should play out and still a few animators adding final touches to certain productions. It was for “Meet the Robinsons” at the time too.
This studio holds a SPECIAL place in my heart. When I was about 9 years old, my mom and former stepdad took me to see this and look around the studio (at the time, I believe it was Brother Bear that was wrapping up production). However, the tour guide got her animation terminology mixed up at times (which caused me to correct her and she was actually pretty surprised/intrigued by it). After discussing a piece of Ursula concept art in the gallery, she went and retrieved a 75th anniversary Mickey Mouse pin, one only the animators working at the studio received. This very moment was actually what inspired me to study animation, and I still have the pin to this very day.
Neat story. My only experience at an animation studio was already mentioned in another comment but I’ll add additional detail. Nickelodeon Animation Studios typically isn’t open to the public so most people visiting either were there for an event or knew someone who worked there. In particular, Derek L’estrange, the prop designer for Spongebob who’s girlfriend went to school with my mom. So it was neat to see the Spongebob crew talk to us and show us what kind of stuff they do and even gave us some unused designs, most notably the original title card for the episode “Frozen Face-Off”, back when it was called “The Great Sleigh Race”. I have that and a few others framed and hung up on my room.
That was some interesting history about the studio. I wish that studio was still open as an attraction instead of another Star Wars attraction. Disney’s just over reminding about that they own Star Wars
I would imagine that the Florida Studio would re-open and be focused on TV animation like The Owl House, Amphibia, Tokyo Pig, Stitch and Experiments, The Simpsons and Disney's One Saturday Morning.
It makes me cry I'll never get to see the original animation house at its finest...the beauty and art with the animators would've been a dream! Instead... I'm reminded of Star wars owners...
When I was a teenager, we took a tour with an animator who worked in the Orlando site. They gave us name stickers name stickers that turned another color for security reasons. We sat down to a pencil drawings of what was called " The Lion Prince" at the time. He showed the iconic scene of the hyenias on the rocks, and showed us he snuck his dog in there ! He did! It's still in the movie!
I think Disney should reopen this studio, so Disney could have one studio for hand-drawn animated films (Florida) and one for CG films (Burbank). Througth i think they should first try with hand-drawn shorts either for theaters or Disney+, and see how they fare with critics and audiences.
It’s really too bad and such a shame that Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules and Brother Bear didn’t do so well I rewatched them and I think they’re great
I remember when I got to visit Disney world back in 2013 where i got to see the Animation studio , it was definitely a mesmerizing experience that I honestly wish I got to see more of , its ashame that it's no longer there.
Very informative video, AniMat. Well researched and well executed. Talking about the purpose of Disney’s animation studio in Florida and the history of Disney’s Hollywood (MGM Studios) makes me really sad to see how the entire park has become a shell of its former self. The theme park used to be about the process of making feature films. But now with its signature attractions The Great Movie Ride & The Studio Backlot Tour closed down and the additions of adding more Star Wars themed lands as well as an entire section dedicated to Toy Story, it’s becoming more like Disney’s other parks.
@@hamursh Yeah, I was reminded that Henn was credited as “Animator” from that review of the “Full House” Disney World episodes by Tony Goldmark (A.K.A. Some Jerk With a Camera). I wonder who did animated the scenes with Toon Joey if Henn didn’t. Maybe it really was a bit of that Disney Magic. I dunno.
As I said before, I actually got visit the Florida studio twice. Once in early 2003, where I saw the video with the late, great Walter Cronkite and Robin Williams, and the animators working on "Brother Bear." The other time was in summer 2008, when they had the presentation with Mushu and one of the animators. I especially loved seeing the artwork for the past films, like the various concept art for the characters Ursula and the Beast. It's a shame that attraction is now gone, but we could still use something similar to get people more invested in the process of animation.
So a movie-based attraction went from being a Future World pavilion to an entire park. Glad they decided to do the latter, even if they did copy Universal.. DHS is a pretty cool park
@@hamursh Before he brought Katzenberg to the Walt Disney Company to run the feature animation division, Michael Eisner and Frank Wells built the Florida theme park, according to "Waking Sleeping Beauty".
We hope there will be new (outer-media) (remake) movies '(Osamu Tezuka's) Astro Boy / Iron Arm' with many sequels by the production of Walt Disney Animation Studio in the future since the 2030s or 2040s. Then there will be 'Astro Boy/Iron Arm Town' near 'Star Wars' or 'Buzz Lighyear' in Walt Disney World.
Here's how I rank the 3 animated theatrical movies that have been made by this place..... #3. Brother Bear (2003) - 🥉 #2. Mulan (1998) - 🥈 #1. Lilo and Stitch (2002) - 🥇
❤💖 I'm going to missed Disney's Hollywood Studios as a second animation studio towards Walt Disney Animation Studio. I wished Disney didn't shut down the Florida animation studio and keep it for making hand drawn animated films but they could've made hand drawn animated short films before the film in theaters like Paperman or Get A Horse. 😢😥😭 And plus I didn't get a chance to see Mushu meets the guests before it closes down too. But I do wanted to thank the animators for bringing my childhood Disney films to life and feeling sorry for them for being layoff during the early 2000's. I would loved to have my own Florida animation studio to make hand drawn animated films under my belt. 😃😀😄👍🏻 💖❤
If they DID NOT abandon Hand Drawn animation, they could have not only kept the studio but also make it capable of making CG films. Better yet, they would have shunned hand drawn, but they wouldn't have closed the studio, they would have still used it but more for TV animation.
@@hamursh Ahem! They did show some CG things. Like for example the sneak peek of Meet The Robinsons in 2007. Believe me, I was there. Not to mention at the once Magic of Disney Animation attraction in Disney Hollywood Studios of Walt Disney World Orlando Florida. Plus, The Magic of Disney Animation was a lot of laughs. It was like stepping into Toontown.
@@dylangeltzeiler946 Well maybe if 2011's Winnie the Pooh was released in November 2011 to avoid competition with Harry Potter it would make Disney's 2D animation alive and maybe Big Hero 6 would have been in hand drawn animation with Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle directing.
I'm happy that the Stitch franchise has made a bit of a resurgence this year in popularity, some example like more videos about the franchise sequels & shows where coming out, a new No Context twitter page dedicated to the franchise coming out, a new interactive Stitch toy by Playmates Toys sold at Walgreens locations, and the franchise's newest installment came out this year with the ongoing web manga Tono & Stitch, as a huge fan of Stitch, I'm also happy that this franchise has become one of Disney's longest-running franchises, hopefully this resurgence of Stitch continues so that he could make a proper comeback on Disney+ (live-action remake aside) with a new Stitch series or special.
"Tono" and Stitch? Why do they keep making Japanese Stitch stuff where Stitch is with some random OC instead of Lilo, who is supposed to be his BFF/sister?
@@cintronproductions9430 It's not just Japan, but also China has made their own short-lived Stitch series back in 2017 called Stitch & Ai, where it was produced in English with help from American animators, including having Tony Craig (who was in executive producer of the first Stitch series, along with directing episodes like Spike and Shoe) as the director of the series.
I remember visiting this attraction both in its original incarnation and its second incarnation, and either way, as a fan of Disney animation, I miss it. Hearing that this Star Wars Launch Bay is in its place just makes me hate Disney's buyout of Lucasfilm even more than I already do.
I’ve never been to DHS, much less the Animation studio, but I did once visit Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank in 2011, where I met the Spongebob crew.
I wish there was a real permanent Disney museum, with rotating exhibits, like the puppetry center in Atlanta. Theres so many ways they could do it (I always imagine the Boston science museum as a base guide) and people would, well not pack in, but socially distance in long queues to get in.
Mulan: "I'm the best film that was made at Disney Hollywood Studios!" Lilo and Stitch: "No, I am!" "Amateurs" Both: "WHAT WAS THAT PUNK?"... The Lottery starring Bette Midler: "AMATEURS"
Amazing. I would love to visit a Disney Animation Studio in Florida but, Sad that they closed it. Also, I am hoping to visit Disney World for the first time since I am going with a travel group for disabled people and I am excited to go someday.
I loved visiting the magic of Disney animation, even after it was shut down as a studio, it was always fun to go there to relive moments of what it once was. Next to the backlot tour, it was one of my favorite things to do at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I feel disappointed that it’s been turned into a Star Wars exhibit though. Just like he said in the video, it’s really annoying, yet awkward, how around every corner at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, they feature a Star Wars attraction. It’s getting overrated!
Still kinda pissed they closed the great movie ride, since the park has now officially completely lost its identity. Thankfully I happened to get a ride or 2 on it about six months before it closed and remember it fondly.
Disney needs to bring this attraction back. I miss going into this place and see the animation films coming soon or learn how to draw any Disney character. They need to bring this back in a new way possible! learn to draw new Disney characters from upcoming films, have new behind the scenes film for the preview theater to have. Stuff like this that I miss from the magic of Disney animation!
Now that Disney is focusing on Streaming content, they must be kicking themselves that they let go some of their animated studios too soon. Hell, Disneytoon could've been a content factory for animated D+ stuff.
I would like you to review these films: -Delgo -Eight Crazy Nights -The Rugrats Movie -Beavis and Butt-head Do America -Starchaser: The Legend of Orin -Rugrats in Paris: the movie -The Wild Thornberrys Movie -Barnyard -Curious George -Clifford's Really Big Movie -Doug's First Movie -The Last Unicorn -Once Upon a Forest -Rover Dangerfield -Cats Don't Dance
I don’t believe it. “The Magic of Disney Animation” is gone. Oh Ho Ho 😭! I miss those Concepts & Sculptures. They even gave me a hilarious laughs 😆. It was like an indoor Toontown. Only it was all Disney Toons. I would’ve given a thing to see “The Magic of Disney Animation” 1 last time. (Sniff) 1 more thing. 10:10-10:24 When I look at Stitch with those SwimTrunks or Shorts, He looks like a blue version of... Blinky Bill the Koala. Since his appearance is very Koala like.
@@jackiegonzalez6814 Looks like somebody got the reference, and I commend you for that. As a matter of fact, your comment deserves a like from me. But in all seriousness, it kind of deserves that title since it discusses most of what happened in part 11 from a different perspective.
I hope Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network/Warner Brothers and Nickelodeon/Paramount Pictures doesn't go down the drain like how Disney Animation sort of did afew years ago. Just saying.
Disney should Go back a bring back 2D animation or at least make Straight to DVD Sequel for The Princess And The Frog,1951 Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Planet,Black Cauldron Or Sleeping Beauty!
By the way, a while back, Hewy Toonmore did a review/tribute to Back to Neverland. If anyone would like to see it, I've included a link to both it and the short itself (as a bonus). But finish this video first! HAMR review/tribute: th-cam.com/video/hVTyRSYIlC8/w-d-xo.html Back to Neverland short: th-cam.com/video/rlBc1T9eDWg/w-d-xo.html
I actually saw the short ‘Back to Neverland’ on TH-cam some years ago! A d you’ll never guess who it was who directed me to it....Hewey Toonmore of Hewey’s Animated Movie Reviews!
When I 1st heard they replaced the animation studio with a star wars attraction that made me mad because I hate Star Wars now because Disney is trying to appeal that to the Chinese market and I want to animate there.
I believe it’s because Disney made a partnership with MGM at that time, however, over the years because they had to pay royalty rights to use the name, it was eventually changed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney had licensing from MGM to use the name as well as films they owned in The Great Movie Ride. But due to complications involving the whole studio stuff, MGM sued Disney, who counter-sued them for a breach of contract when MGM opened a park with their name in Vegas. I’m not sure how that was settled, but by 2008 they decided not to renew their contract and the name was changed.
While I do miss Magic of Disney Animation with all my heart. I honestly don’t mind Star Wars Launch Bay. It’s actually a pretty cool museum of multiple movie props from the actual movies (as well as real life replicas of lightsabers from Clone Wars and Rebels). And even the trivia screens are pretty cool, a lot of the Fandom Menace are saying things like “Disney wants you to forget about the previous trilogies and Clone Wars,” etc. but if they actually did want you to forget, they wouldn’t have props from the previous trilogies, Ventress’ lightsaber, and trivia of the previous trilogies. And if they were trying to make us forget they wouldn’t have had Clone Wars Season 7, Rogue One, Solo, Rebels, or that scene in Episode 9 where the voices of the Jedi past speak to Rey; be a thing.
Yeah, even if some people we don't talk about don't like those things, that doesn't change the fact those things did happen and are part of Star War's history.
@@DoswarePictures No it's the name of Star Wars fans who are anti-SJWs who hate Disney's Star Wars films. It's best to stay away from the likes Geeks+Gamers, World Class Bullshiters, Mecharandom, and ClownfishTv.
By the way, i am learning on how to improve my drawing skills and drawing some concepts for a Sonic and Spider-Gwen crossover for a possible comic pitch as i have this idea during this COVID pandemic

They're gonna regret it so badly sooner or later.
honestly this could have been an opportunity for that studio to do what it was created to do: movies based on "mickey mouse and friends"
I would like you to review these films:
-Delgo
-Eight Crazy Nights
-The Rugrats Movie
-Beavis and Butt-head Do America
-Starchaser: The Legend of Orin
-Rugrats in Paris: the movie
-The Wild Thornberrys Movie
-Barnyard
-Curious George
-Clifford's Really Big Movie
-Doug's First Movie
-The Last Unicorn
-Once Upon a Forest
-Rover Dangerfield
-Cats Don't Dance
Yes, yes and yes!
What about plague dogs? I think this film needs a chance.
@@ישיבושירה yeah, you're right
If I were you, I’d either email those requests to him, or pledge to him on Patreon to review one of them.
I’d also like to see reviews of:
-Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
-Rolie Polie Olie: The Great Defender of Fun
-Stanley’s Dinosaur Round up
I don’t believe it. “The Magic of Disney Animation” is gone. Oh Ho Ho 😭! I miss those Concepts & Sculptures. They even gave me a hilarious laughs 😆. It was like an indoor Toontown. Only it was all Disney Toons. I would’ve given a thing to see “The Magic of Disney Animation” 1 last time. (Sniff) 1 more thing. 10:10-10:24 When I look at Stitch with those SwimTrunks or Shorts, He looks like a blue version of... Blinky Bill the Koala. Since his appearance is very Koala like.
The studio is still there and sits abandoned!
Would it be OK to consider this video as Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios + (Part 11½)?
With the resignation of Roy E. Disney? Perhaps.
Just like the lion king 1 1/2!
@@jackiegonzalez6814 Looks like somebody got the reference, and I commend you for that. As a matter of fact, your comment deserves a like from me. But in all seriousness, it kind of deserves that title since it discusses most of what happened in part 11 from a different perspective.
@@arbytv5139 thank you so much! 😊😊😊❤️✨😁😁😁
I'm calling it. TP review next week.
I would like to find out if this will finally be the case!😂💯
Can AniMat upload more classic reviews next year
@@friepaign3828 For Real! He definitely still has plenty of classics to review and have all of the fun with.✌🎯
@@KendrickHarrisKenfinity Yeah. I even asked him to put Ratatouille and Steven Universe: The Movie in the Animation Hat.
@@KendrickHarrisKenfinity I hope next classic is Bolt I hope he will give it a 10/10
Screw all the Critics and especially the Rotten Tomatoes who rated Brother Bear that is one of my all time favourite Disney movies
Go to 7:00 if you want to see the movies being made at the studio!
I hope Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network/Warner Brothers and Nickelodeon/Paramount Pictures doesn't go down the drain like how Disney Animation sort of did afew years ago.
Just saying.
Your cartoon drawing of your pic look spot on.
I thought this was gonna be part 12.
😵
Bisexual Ichigo Wait Till November 2020
Disney should Go back a bring back 2D animation or at least make Straight to DVD Sequel for The Princess And The Frog,1951 Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Planet,Black Cauldron Or Sleeping Beauty!
NO let those classics be we dont need sequels for everything
By the way, a while back, Hewy Toonmore did a review/tribute to Back to Neverland. If anyone would like to see it, I've included a link to both it and the short itself (as a bonus). But finish this video first!

I loved animations building in DCA
Will the next part of Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios+ be online next week?
I actually saw the short ‘Back to Neverland’ on TH-cam some years ago! A d you’ll never guess who it was who directed me to it....Hewey Toonmore of Hewey’s Animated Movie Reviews!
I remember visiting that place in 2012.
Is Treasure Planet next week
I remember being at that facility back in 2000.
One of my taxi drivers who drives me to college vistied the park and the attraction on opening year.
Thank u so much this was on full house. The a amination building
I hope you have a happy Halloween, Animat!
Also, that live action Alice in Wonderland show was ~the best~!
Triple great Great GREAT 😉👍👍👍!
rest in peace Disney company
How about this history of disneyland and the rides
thoughts on doing an Animation Lookback: History of Motion Capture someday?!
Happy Halloween 2020!!
5:47 That might be a distraction to the animators.
Then again, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind a free snack.
I got to take that Tour in the Little Mermaid Era
When I 1st heard they replaced the animation studio with a star wars attraction that made me mad because I hate Star Wars now because Disney is trying to appeal that to the Chinese market and I want to animate there.
Bear bro 1 n 2 was good
Rip great movie ride hate they got rig of that
As much as the history of the attraction is amazing one question I would ask is how did it get the original name Disney/MGM Studios
I believe it’s because Disney made a partnership with MGM at that time, however, over the years because they had to pay royalty rights to use the name, it was eventually changed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney had licensing from MGM to use the name as well as films they owned in The Great Movie Ride. But due to complications involving the whole studio stuff, MGM sued Disney, who counter-sued them for a breach of contract when MGM opened a park with their name in Vegas. I’m not sure how that was settled, but by 2008 they decided not to renew their contract and the name was changed.
I wish they kept the magic of Disney animation attraction and not replace it with Star Wars Launch Bay.
I think they would have made it into a TV animation studio.
@@hamursh Perhaps.
While I do miss Magic of Disney Animation with all my heart. I honestly don’t mind Star Wars Launch Bay. It’s actually a pretty cool museum of multiple movie props from the actual movies (as well as real life replicas of lightsabers from Clone Wars and Rebels). And even the trivia screens are pretty cool, a lot of the Fandom Menace are saying things like “Disney wants you to forget about the previous trilogies and Clone Wars,” etc. but if they actually did want you to forget, they wouldn’t have props from the previous trilogies, Ventress’ lightsaber, and trivia of the previous trilogies. And if they were trying to make us forget they wouldn’t have had Clone Wars Season 7, Rogue One, Solo, Rebels, or that scene in Episode 9 where the voices of the Jedi past speak to Rey; be a thing.
Yeah, even if some people we don't talk about don't like those things, that doesn't change the fact those things did happen and are part of Star War's history.
Is Fandom Menace the actual name of the Star Wars Fandom?
@@DoswarePictures No it's the name of Star Wars fans who are anti-SJWs who hate Disney's Star Wars films. It's best to stay away from the likes Geeks+Gamers, World Class Bullshiters, Mecharandom, and ClownfishTv.
@@DoswarePictures well let’s just say, The Fandom Menace is the toxic half of the Star Wars Fanbase
@@cintronproductions9430 exactly
Your new video ratio intrigues me
Tiny Toons is getting a reboot.
By the way, i am learning on how to improve my drawing skills and drawing some concepts for a Sonic and Spider-Gwen crossover for a possible comic pitch as i have this idea during this COVID pandemic
Did you get the rights from Sega and Sony to use Sonic and Spider-Gwen?
@@ledetbrothers9210 i thought IDW owns the comic rights to Sonic
@@Oscar95451 oh yeah.
Are you gonna try getting the comic rights to Sonic then?
Loved tiana
If preferred to have seen the animation studio over more Star Wars shit.
Sadly today is the anniversary of my grandfather's death (it's 31st October in Australia where I live).
i wish a few good ghosts came out!! i wanna see it so badly!!1
Yessss
Possible Halloween video tomorrow?
