This dissertation examines the unique situation of an animation studio, known as Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida, existing within a theme-park attraction, The Magic of Disney Animation, which debuted in 1989 at the Disney-MGM Studios in Orlando, Florida. Operating during the period now identified as the Disney Renaissance (1989-1999), this facility represents a microcosm of what was occurring in the animation and theme-park industries due the introduction of computer technology. While much of the academic literature on this period focuses on the Disney Company's main studio in California, this study of the studio/attraction provides evidence of technological advancements and sociological change occurring within a single structure. To achieve an in-depth perspective of these developments, I utilize oral histories from the artists, administrators, and support personnel, who worked within this unique situation, combined with contemporary journalism and subsequent academic investigation. The result is an illustration of what was occurring in the animated art form, seen in the dramatic shift from traditional hand-drawn animation to a purely digital format—the movement from a state of mechanization to computerization. This shift is mirrored in The Magic of Disney Animation attraction, which served as a grand experiment whereby theme-park guests were transformed from passive observers of the animation process into active participants keen to experience that process for themselves. Moving through a chronological format, I argue that a history of the Florida Studio is emblematic of how the computer revolutionized animation as an art form—growing from a supporting technology to a dominant position in the industry—and that a cultural revolution was also taking place, demonstrated by The Magic of Disney Animation's evolution as a theme-park attraction. ; Submitted Note: A Dissertation submitted to the Department of Art History in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ; Degree . |
