Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park
Animation Gallery Cels

Inside the Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park in Walt Disney World is a building dedicated to the art of animation. This attraction shows guests how traditional cel animation is produced. First, guests are shown a short film starring Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite that describes the process of animation. The presentation continues with a tour of a working animation studio right in the park. Guests walk along a glass-enclosed walkway above the artists' workstations. Along the way, monitors display more filmed presentations that explain each step in the process being performed in the studio below.

At the end of the tour, guests exit through the attatched gallery and souvenir store which offers a broad range of items from production cels to postcards. Starting in 1989 when it opened, the Gallery has offered a souveneir cel for sale featuring Mickey Mouse. These are hand-painted reproductions produced on site. Naturally, these cels are mostly bought by people as momentoes of their family vacations and so they tend to be tightly held by their owners, thus leading to some scarcity - particularly of the first few editions.
