Disney has revealed plans to transform Animation Courtyard at Disney's Hollywood Studios into The Magic of Disney Animation, set to open in late summer 2026. The project replaces the former Star Wars: Launch Bay and features an Olaf animatronic leading drawing classes via pre-recorded animator videos. While praised for celebrating Disney's animation heritage, the lack of live instructors has sparked fan controversy.
