Originally Posted By John_CM Okay let's clear this up.. The "Art Of Animation" has nothing to do with the big screens that line the room. Art Of Animation was the little art gallery that you entered at the exit of Drawn To Animation. That is being replaced with a meet and greet location called Character Closeup. Drawn To Animation is being replaced by The Animation Academy. It will show the guests how to draw their favorite Disney characters. Both things open in September.
