In 1995, animation production moved back to Burbank across the street from the main studios with the opening of the Walt Disney Feature Animation Building. Many Disney animated features were drawn here, including Dumbo (1941), Bambi (1942), Cinderella (1950), Alice in Wonderland (1951), Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Sleeping Beauty (1959), One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), The Rescuers (1977), and The Fox and the Hound (1981). [14][15] Walt's suite was closed after his death in 1966 and not reused until 1970, after his personal items had been carefully archived. Constructed from 1947 and opening in April 1949, Stage 2 is the second oldest soundstage on the Walt Disney Studios lot, and at 31,000 feet (9,400 m), one of the largest in Los Angeles. Here, too, the first three-strip Technicolor animated film, the Silly Symphony Flowers and Trees, and the first animated cartoon using Disney's multiplane camera, The Old Mill, were created.
After Disney's purchase of ABC in 1996, a new headquarters for the television network was constructed across Riverside Drive next to the Walt Disney Feature Animation Building.
Since 1990 the Camera Building has been occupied by what is now Buena Vista Imaging, which provides photo-optical and digital imaging services for films and television.[46].

[41], Technological advances in animation, such as the advent of Xerography in the early 1960s and the development of CAPS in the late 1980s, ultimately made traditional ink and paint techniques obsolete at the Disney studio. In the early 1940s Disney employed over 100 "ink and paint girls" at a starting salary of $18 a week, as opposed to $300 a week for experienced animators.
Upon completing 30 years of service in 1998, Stage 4 was divided into two new television studios, creating the new Stage 4 and Stage 5.
The stage is the smallest on the lot at 11,000 sq ft.
Disney chairman Michael Eisner had the Team Disney building constructed in 1990.
Both stages are 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) each and are in frequent use at the studios.
In Disney's time "morgue" was also a journalistic term for a repository of old newspaper copy that could be referenced in the future, and it was in this spirit that he named his archives. The tank area was also used heavily beginning in the 1960s as Disney pioneered the use of the sodium screen process. This private cafeteria and grill opened in 1940 as Walt Disney's Studio Restaurant, and is now named the Buena Vista Café. Animators and directors would view these loops on Moviola machines to check the work before submitting it to Ink and Paint.[21]. (Today only the street names remain the same). Walt Disney personally supervised the eight-wing "double H" design, ensuring as many rooms as possible had windows, which allowed natural light into the building to help the animators while working. Unique original features were the "de-dusting chambers" that personnel, painted cels and other materials had to pass through before entering, so no trace of dust or lint would show up in the photography. Walt Disney used the earnings from the successful release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to finance the construction of the Burbank studio. Emporis is a leading database for building information worldwide. They are built on the former back-lot and are located behind the Frank G. Wells Building.
Disney's staff began to grow to a substantial size at the Hyperion studio, and Disney Legends such as Disney's Nine Old Men began their careers there.

The Team Disney structure is sometimes called the "Seven Dwarfs Building".
As noted above, in 1985, Disney Animation was moved out of the studio lot and into a cluster of old buildings in Glendale. It features a 2400 sq ft underwater tank and is still in active use.
The Hyperion studio site was sold in 1940 and divided between two different industrial manufacturers, and in 1966 a subsequent owner demolished what was left of the studio complex and replaced it with the supermarket and shopping center that stand there today.
The building is currently home to the Walt Disney Archives, studio mail center, Marvel Studios, the Disney Music Group, a screening room, various multipurpose rooms, and one of the three extant multiplane cameras (which is on display in the lobby). [28] It was the model for the Earffel Tower which stood at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park near Orlando, Florida from 1989 to 2016, and the replica at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris (2002 to the present),[29] though the original has never been decorated with Mickey Mouse ears on top. Garity and Ledeen, "The New Walt Disney Studio", p. 16.
[22][23] The tunnel is still maintained and a length of it is open to D23 tours. If, however, the award was presented posthumously, an image of the Disney Legends statue is engraved instead of the traditional hand prints and signature. In the 1970s stage 3 was equipped with the first computerized motion control system.
Walt's brother Roy O. Disney, who ran the company's financial operations, shared a wing with the accounting and legal departments on the first floor, which was where the animators, in-betweeners and clean-up artists worked. It was formerly home to Walt Disney Television, various management offices, and the human resources department.
The three-story former main building for Walt Disney Animation Studios was completed in 1940, based on a Streamline Moderne design by industrial designer and architect Kem Weber. Completed in 1990 and designed by Michael Graves, The Team Disney Burbank building contains the office of President and CEO Robert A. Iger, as well as the boardroom for the Board of Directors. During summer 1923, Walt Disney created "The Disney Bros. Stage 4 is known as the "Home Improvement stage", as that series was filmed here from 1991 to 1999.
Stage 3 was completed in 1953 and designed especially for the film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Throughout its history, the theater has also been used for post-production sound mixing. The last Disney animated feature to employ inked and painted cels was The Little Mermaid (1989). It originally consisted of two buildings, constructed in 1934 and 1937, to accommodate the company's rapidly expanding animation department.
The attack on Pearl Harbor by Imperial Japan on December 7, 1941 brought America into World War II. There are at least four buildings in the United States and two elsewhere which carry the Team Disney title. Disney purposely planned his new Burbank studio around the animation process.
[28] The colloquial name "Shorts Building" was apparently a nod to its historical past, as no further animation would be done on the premises.
W. E. Garity and J. L. Ledeen, "The New Walt Disney Studio". Today it employs video editing techniques.
On June 24, 2013, it was dedicated to Mousketeer Annette Funicello as it was the original shooting stage for The Mickey Mouse Club.[30]. The Walt Disney Studios, located in Burbank, California, United States, serves as the corporate headquarters for The Walt Disney Company media conglomerate. In 2016 it was opened for viewing by studio employees, special guests, and gold members of the Disney fan club D23. The name "Main Theater" is used to distinguish the venue from several smaller screening rooms situated throughout the studio. [42] Today the Ink and Paint Building is primarily used for office space, though its original paint-mixing lab has been preserved and is used for the creation of limited edition Disney artwork created on-site.[43][44]. The new studio is a colorful architectural landmark, adorned by a 122-foot-tall version of the Fantasia Sorcerer's hat,[49] which once housed the office of Roy Disney, former head of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The division has since moved to the Grand Central Creative Campus in nearby Glendale, California. During this time, backlots for exterior shots were also built and remained standing at the studios until after a major change in management in 1984. The structure is the last remaining example of the "California Bungalow" type architecture that remains from the Hyperion studio facility. "[32], The signage above the entrance says simply "Theatre". The complex also houses the offices for the company's many divisions, with the exception of the 20th Century Studios (formerly 20th Century Fox), which remains on its namesake lot in Century City. In 2015, under the auspices of the Walt Disney Archives, Suite 3H was restored as closely as possible to the condition in which Walt left it, with many of the original furnishings and objects. One section was used as a special paint-mixing laboratory to provide Disney cartoons with the widest possible spectrum of colors. Although the theater is empty during the mixing session, extra padding in the seats and specially designed walls absorb and reflect the sound. The 419-seat Theater,[31] another original building on the Burbank lot, shows first-run Disney films for studio employees and guests. During World War II, the stage was used for repairing army vehicles.
[6] During the war, Disney regularly produced propaganda and training films for the U.S. government including its armed forces to increase morale among Americans that the fight against the Axis powers was waged for a just cause.[6]. COPYRIGHT © 2000-2020 EMPORIS GMBH. It was here where, after a train journey with his wife Lillian, Walt created the character of Mickey Mouse in 1928.
The Roy O. Disney building is located next to the animation building and held the office of Roy O. Disney to whom the building is dedicated.
In 1925, Walt Disney placed a deposit on a new, considerably larger lot at 2719 Hyperion Avenue, and the studio moved there in January 1926. The 1934 structure was called the "Animation Building No. The Bungalow was built in 1935 as the original home of the Disney Publicity and Comic Strip Departments. [1] The other way to tour the studio is to join the official Disney D23 fan club, which offers tours to members every few months.
The floor was removed and an additional 20 feet was dug down to accommodate the 360-degree set for the scene. In the years after the war, the studio began regular work on live-action features, as they needed the money.
The Archives are located on the ground floor and are open to all cast members; they also have additional storage and restricted areas on other floors.
