Disney has announced the full list of character meet and greets that will be available at “Off the Page!” in The Magic of Disney Animation. Disney previously announced there would be six meet and greets, including Rapunzel and Mulan.
Off The Page! Character Meet and Greets
Each meet and greet space in “Off the Page!” represents a different stage of the animation process. Here is the list of characters:
- 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
Disney did say these are “some” of the characters guests may see, so it’s possible others will cycle through.
The Magic of Disney Animation
The Magic of Disney Animation was an opening day Disney’s Hollywood Studios attraction. It originally offered a behind the scenes look at the Feature Animation building where classics like Lilo & Stitch were made. It also included the Back to Neverland documentary short film starring Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite and later the Animation Academy.
Feature Animation closed in 2004 but the animation-inspired experience remained in the park until 2015, when it was replaced by Star Wars: Launch Bay. Disney recently filed a permit for the Feature Animation building.
The new version of The Magic of Disney Animation will be inspired by Once Upon A Studio, a short film that honored 100 years of The Walt Disney Company. Animation Courtyard will become the Walt Disney Studios lot, inspired by the real lot in Burbank, California. Guests will enter a studio just as the animators have left and the characters have begun to come to life.
A new Animation Academy experience hosted by Olaf will be called Olaf Draws! It will have an Olaf animatronic and pre-recorded animator segments rather than a live animator. The Drawn to Wonderland playground will be inspired by Mary Blair’s Alice in Wonderland concept art. Next door will be a new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse stage show.
