Since the animation studio closed in Orlando years ago, the tour was nixed and the introductory movie was updated to feature Mushu from Mulan. I remember going on this attraction as a kid, being delighted by the movie, and getting a genuine thrill of being able to look at an animator actually put pencil to paper. That original attraction featured a fantastic introductory movie starring Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite and a walking tour of a working animation studio. It is basically the last vestige from the original era of attractions that promised to give guests a look behind the scenes of how movies were made.

Looking at the recent trend of Hollywood Studios, the move to close The Magic of Disney Animation makes sense. According to WDWMagic, Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream is also expected to close around the same time, but no announcements have been made to the fate of that attraction. The Magic of Disney Animation will permanently close on July 12, 2015, joining the ranks of the Backlot Tour, American Idol, and The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow. But Gameloft won't be able to make them available again afterwards.It’s become a recurring theme for Disney’s Hollywood Studios over the past year: another attraction is closing down. However, any WDW 50th Anniversary items that are already owned will still be owned.
