The Magic of Disney Animation is a show and tour located at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. A Disney animator would show guests how the characters in Disney animated films were chosen and designed. The attraction closed permanently on July 12, 2015. In December 2015, the building began to be used to house the Star Wars Launch Bay. In July 2025, it was announced that an updated version of the attraction will reopen in late Summer 2026, set to become part of Mickey Avenue in a new land, The Walt Disney Studios Lot.
