Summary: | Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida opened in Orlando at the dawn
of the Disney Renaissance. As a member of the crew, Mary E. Lescher
witnessed the small studio's rise and fall during a transformative
era in company and movie history. Her in-depth interviews with
fellow artists, administrators, and support personnel reveal the
human dimension of a technological revolution: the dramatic shift
from hand-drawn cel animation to the digital format that eclipsed
it in less than a decade. She also traces the Florida Studio's
parallel existence as a part of The Magic of Disney Animation, a
living theme park attraction where Lescher and her colleagues
worked in full view of Walt Disney World guests eager to experience
the magic of the company's legendary animation process.
A ground-level look at the entertainment giant, The Disney
Animation Renaissance profiles the people and purpose behind a
little-known studio during a historic era. |
