==Attraction History==
When the Animation Courtyard section of the Disney MGM Studios opened in 1989, Disney wanted guests to be able to see how Disney animated films were created. To do this, the area housed the a branch of Walt Disney Feature Animation Studio. Real Disney animators worked inside the theme park, and animating sequences for Disney films. Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, Brother Bear and the "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" segment of the Lion King were all animated at the Florida studios.
On April 22, 1998 an expanded production are was dedicated. The area opened on the same day as [[Disney's Animal Kingdom]], and was referenced in Roy E. Disney's dedication speech for the new park. In 2003, Disney announced that the Florida branch of the Walt Disney Feature Animation Studios would be closing the animation studio. Due to this closure, changes were made to the Magic of Disney Animation.
In the current version of the attraction, guests enter one showroom where a Disney animator shows guests how films are chosen and designed. There is also an interactive area, and a place where guests can learn how to draw Disney characters. The current tour is about 40 15 minutes long.
