Overview
- Disney says the Magic of Disney Animation will debut this summer inside a refreshed Walt Disney Studios area at Hollywood Studios, with “Olaf Draws!” as a marquee experience.
- Set in an animator’s-studio space, an expressive Olaf figure hosts while guests follow step-by-step video instruction at desk-style workstations.
- Josh Gad, Olaf’s original voice, has recorded new lines specifically for the onstage animatronic.
- Classes will teach guests to sketch characters including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Genie, Moana, Stitch, Ursula, Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde and Olaf, with veterans such as Eric Goldberg instructing Genie.
- Disney is consolidating in-park drawing offerings as Animal Kingdom’s in-person Animation Experience has closed for a Bluey attraction, and the pavilion adds an enchanted art gallery, a Once Upon a Studio theater, meet-and-greets and an indoor playground.
