Animation Academy is an attraction at Disney California Adventure, Walt Disney Studios Park, Hong Kong Disneyland, Disney's Animal Kingdom and Epcot. The same attraction formerly existed in Disney's Hollywood Studios,[1] and DisneyQuest, which closed in 2017.[2]
Tokyo Disneyland also features an almost identical attraction, named simply Disney Drawing Class, within The Disney Gallery in World Bazaar. The attraction was closed permanently on September 30, 2016, to make way for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.[3][4]
In Shanghai Disneyland's Marvel Universe, a similar attraction called Marvel Comic Academy is operating. This attraction features Marvel Comic's characters instead of Disney movies characters.
At Disney's Animal Kingdom, The Animation Experience at Conservation Station opened within Rafiki's Planet Watch on July 11, 2019, and its drawing classes feature popular Disney animals.[5]
The Epcot version will open in Play! Pavilion with Edna Mode from The Incredibles making appearances and teaching guests how to draw different Disney characters.
Summary
[edit]The attraction opened together with DisneyQuest in Walt Disney World in 1998. It was also added [when?] to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure. It can be found within Art of Disney Animation at Walt Disney Studios Park. The attraction opened at Hong Kong Disneyland on July 14, 2007, and is located adjacent to the Opera House in Main Street, U.S.A.
The attraction itself is a drawing session with a Disney animator who teaches guests to draw a Disney character. Guests may take their own artwork home if they want after the drawing session.
