Not saying there aren't still issues. I really wish they'd kept a live person for their drawing classes, for example, but it does seem like the parks have been heading in a much better direction the last few years.

There is a call-back to Illusion of Life, at least. XD

Honestly? I tip my hat to Disney in general for what they're doing with their parks today. Disneyland has been getting an *amazing* glow up lately, and they have a lot of plans for World, as well. (I'm sorry you guys in Florida are losing your river, though. That sucks.) Looking forward to more!

... limited knowledge about this building and its history, and am only just learning about it now. I hope that people enjoy this space, and I still give Disney props for converting a pretty decently sized building back to its roots and showcasing what built their studio in the first place.

Disney, this is what we want, man. More of this, please. More. Of. This. These are awesome and super cute. People love your 2D work. You just gotta write a good story to go with it, y'all! Anyway, I'm being awful nit-picky about this building, which I probably shouldn't be because I have very...

But the highlight? The absolute *highlight* for me, is that they created BRAND NEW 2D ANIMATED SEQUENCES for their wall portraits!! I already eat this stuff up like candy, but new animation of my favorite cartoon character on top of that? YES, PLEASE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbNB...

I think they buffed up the courtyard, which is nice. Also, the character meet-and-greet section is nice. I'm sure the employees appreciate being in an air conditioned space, and perhaps they'll bring out more unique characters for folks to interact with? Nice big area, too. That building is huge.

... generic shop. Y'all.... Put some books and a bunch of animation-related stuff in there! Maybe I just didn't see them? I dunno. If they don't have The Illusion of Life on display then what are they even doing? XD It's nice that they have Once Upon a Studios to view in a theater. Good good.
