This is a nice diversion, a good air-conditioned place to rest for a bit. The exhibits are interesting and meeting the Incredibles is super fun.

Very cool and interesting, we all had a good time there and is a great place to meet characters you wont see anywhere else like the Incredibles and the rats from Ratatouille.

They've taken what was once the best attraction of any kind in any theme park and turned it into a boring, insipid, uninspired, painful-to-experience mess. No better example of Eisner's Disney muck-ups than this!

Very interesting and informative. Gets kinda boring for the kids. Fun to see the magic being made.

A must for animation buffs. Watching the actual animation process is great.

A very interesting exhibit, and a chance to view some of the current films being worked on.

One of the pleasures I get out of a Disney theme park experience are Attractions that take you through an extensive tour from one different aspect to another in (well over) a period of 30 minutes. Always something new and different in every room. Very educational and entertaining.

No matter what kind of group you're with, do NOT miss this. It's like turning your back on what disney's all about. This is an excellent tour and the films starring Robin Williams are great. Nothing else gives me the "warm and fuzzies" like this attraction.

Great attraction, go during working hours. The film with Walter Cronkite and Robin Williams was the best, I really liked this show years ago when the Cronkite/Williams part was more integrated into the attraction.

This is a must for me each time I go. They change the artwork hanging up once in awhile so we can look at the upcoming movies coming out. The movie at the end is the best! The CM told us where to find a HM in a Beauty and the Beast clip.

A great attraction and a preview into the future. We were down there teh animator was making Mushu for Mulan. The movie was still in production down so it wasn't finish yet. We got to see the clips from the movie before it came out the year later in 98. Also I saw some artwork for Dinosaur, Tarzan, Roger Rabbit 2, Kingdom in The Sun (Emperor's New Groove), Atantlis, and Treasure Plant. The year I went was 97 so I don't know that kind of stuff is still there.

The sitting on the floor with the animator was pretty lame. He didn't have much to say. They could skip this.

I was moderately underwhelmed by this "attraction". The concept would be better served by presenting most of the material via an Omnimover ride system, with an animator meet n' greet during the post ride show. I'm hoping the DCA version of this attraction is pulled off better and with more style than the so-so WDW version.

Very informative. A good look "where" the features are made.

Ditto ...There was no one working on anything..the times I dropped by. The guide would run a short video (I can do that at home!)talk about THE next movie-take us to an unknown animator,watch him doodle and get us to the art gallery to buy something. You don't get to talk to someone in a project and that would add the visit. AND I'd love to buy pencil sketches from these animators !
Besides more seri-cels created in Orlando !

I've visited this on four different occasions each at different times of the day, and I have never seen animators at work.

Very good. This is high on the list of most newcomers must-sees, so why can't they improve it? A real animator is great, but they should do more. Animation is the bread and butter of Disney's movie division. Give people a lively education here and they will appreciate the films that much more.

Amazing, the movies at the start and end are great. Seeing them actually working on upcoming releases is great.

On some levels I wish that the Walt Disney Story exhibits that have been featured over the years in California and Florida were this informative and well done. A rare and wonderful tribute to Walt Disney's greatest contribution to Hollywood.
