Olaf Animatronic to Lead New 'Olaf Draws' Class at Disney’s Hollywood Studios This Summer

The class uses prerecorded lessons from Disney animators with new Olaf dialogue by Josh Gad.

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.
