If Hollywood Studios went back to its roots..

Wouldn't it be great if animation was actually brought back to HWS? Everyone talks about the potential HWS has as far as rides, but it is quickly losing what makes it stand out as a park. Sure, HWS really needs some new stuff, but bring it back to what it was built for. Im sure there are good reasons for keeping live movie set production in California but I just can't see how that would be true for animation. Ok. Fantasy over.

Agreed. I love the "Art of Animation" pavilion, and often spent half of my days at HWS there (those drawing classes are top-notch!). I fear that it is going to be pushed to the wayside in the future with these fancier attractions.

The problem is they decimated their hand drawn animation group. I think it would be difficult to build it back up again.

If they did get big into hand drawn animation again it would probably be in California. The whole East Coast Hollywood thing kind of fizzled out.


However, I would love it if it ever happened.

Oh, im talking a Pixar studios in Orlando! Traditional Disney is probably 30 percent of the company now. Between Starwars Land and Pixar Studios expansion, HWS could really be a force. No pun intended, lol.

Whatever they do, they should currently be ashamed to charge people to actually go into that park ..

I know it's a cliche, but you can't go back, only forward.

Hmm, so Star Tours is now Main Stream Star Wars, with integration into Star Wars Rebels.
Watched the first episode (and movie) on the Disney XD app on my Apple TV. DS and i were pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of the RX-Series Pilot Droid,

They should be bold and forget about the movies (except for Star Wars and Cars), and focus on ABC television stuff. Agents of SHIELD and Once Upon a Time etc...

Neither rumor nor news - Disney is not bringing animation back to Florida. It was a failed experiment, too far from the suits in LA, (The Disney Parks suits are different from the Disney Studio suits.)the practicality of there being TWO animation studios - one on each coast - didn't really have benefits. Beisides, where are you expecting entertainment from that. Watching a bunch of people working on computer work stations wouldn't make much of a tour.

Same thing with the "working studio". It was a good idea that didn't work. Why would they choose to go back to it?
