Disney World just announced a new attraction that will make fans feel like kids again
If you visited Disney's Hollywood Studios back in its Disney MGM Studios days, you may remember The Magic of Disney Animation. The attraction opened with the park in 1989 and invited guests to witness Disney's animation process firsthand, peering into a working studio, where films like 'Lilo & Stitch' came to life. It wasn't quite the same after Disney shuttered its Florida-based animation operations in the early 2000s, but the attraction evolved and continued to celebrate Disney Animation until 2015, when it was closed and replaced by Star Wars Launch Bay. Now a decade later, Disney has announced a new Magic of Disney Animation is in the works for a new generation of guests. Here's what fans should know. When is The Magic of Disney Animation opening? The new Magic of Disney Animation will open at Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2026. Disney hasn't shared an exact date. Where will The Magic of Disney Animation be located? The attraction will be located in Animation Courtyard, which will be reimagined as The Walt Disney Studios. It will be where Star Wars Launch Bay is now. The Sorcerer's Hat is coming back The Star Wars Launch Bay building will be transformed to look like the iconic Roy E. Disney Animation Building in Burbank, California, where Walt Disney Animation Studios is based. Like that building, it will be topped with a huge Sorcerer's Hat. For years, a massive Sorcerer Mickey Hat served as the symbol of Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney-MGM Studios, and was a popular photo backdrop for guests. This one won't be the same, but the nostalgia factor is notable for fans who've said goodbye to longtime staples like Muppet*Vision 3D, Tom Sawyer Island, and parts of DinoLand U.S.A this year. Many fans have already expressed their excitement on social media. What to expect from The Magic of Disney Animation "Our story in this newly reimagined space begins as the animators have temporarily stepped away... but the building is still buzzing with activity as the characters have come to life and they're ready to play!' Disney shared on its official Disney Parks Blog. It's unclear how the experience will unfold, but Disney says the characters will be part of 'playful and interactive moments,' like in the Emmy-winning short film 'Once Upon a Studio' created for Disney's 100th anniversary. There will also be a short film, drawing lessons (which the previous Magic of Disney Animation also offered), and for young guests, a Drawn to Wonderland playground inspired by Disney Legend Mary Blair's concept art for 'Alice in Wonderland.' What else is coming? The new Walt Disney Studios space will host a new Disney Jr. show, character greetings and trees offering shade to guests. 'And make sure to look around, too,' Disney's blog post said. 'You never know who you might see playing in the branches, soaking up the sun or digging in the grass.' What's closing at Disney's Hollywood Studios? Star Wars Launch Bay and the live show Disney Jr. Play and Dance! will permanently close this September. Their last day of operation will be Sept. 24. The recently reimagined Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure will remain.

'Lilo & Stitch' releases on digital VOD: Where to watch
"Lilo & Stitch" are coming home. The live-action reimagining of Disney's beloved animated classic officially made its way onto select digital platforms on July 22, a couple months after the film premiered in U.S. theaters. "(Lilo & Stitch) brings new energy into the hilarious and heart-warming tale of Lilo and her cute-yet-chaotic adopted 'pet' Stitch," Disney said in a statement. "Lush tropical settings provide welcoming visuals as warm as the 'found family' that Lilo and Stitch create together, while also authentically honoring the cultures and beauty of Hawai'i." The remake has proved to be a profitable venture for Disney, grossing approximately $1 billion (and counting) at the global box office. Given its significant commercial success, it should come as no surprise that a sequel is "currently in development," according to Disney. USA TODAY's Brian Truitt gave the film ★★½ out of four, writing that "Director Dean Fleischer Camp's family adventure feels like an excessively earnest Disney Channel movie compared with the delightfully unhinged 2002 cartoon." "That's great for those who want more of a human connection but not so much if you're more jazzed about Stitch wrecking a bunch of stuff," Truitt adds. Here's what to know about the "Lilo & Stitch" digital release, including when it will be available to stream. Where to watch 'Lilo & Stitch' at home The new "Lilo & Stitch" is now available to rent or purchase on video on-demand (VOD) platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. 'Lilo & Stitch' 4K Blu-ray/DVD release The movie won't make its "extraterrestrial entry" on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD until Aug. 26. When could 'Lilo & Stitch' release for streaming on Disney+? A streaming release date has not yet been announced for "Lilo & Stitch." Based on the timeframe surrounding past Disney streaming releases, including "Moana 2" and "Mufasa: The Lion King," the film could be released on Disney+ in late August or early September. USA TODAY review: New 'Lilo & Stitch' falls short of first film's unhinged brilliance 'Lilo & Stitch' deleted scenes, bloopers According to Disney, the "Lilo & Stitch" digital and Blu-ray releases include bonus features, like deleted scenes, bloopers and more behind-the-scenes packages. The bonus content includes a breakdown of Stitch's favorite moments, a side-by-side comparison of scenes from the animated original film alongside their live-action counterpart, among others. 'Lilo & Stitch' soundtrack now streaming "Lilo & Stitch" fans can also stream the film's original soundtrack, which features new music by Iam Tongi, Mark Kealiʻi Hoʻomalu, Nyjah Music & Zyah Rhythm and an original score by Dan Romer, on Amazon, Spotify and Apple Music now.

Lilo & Stitch Gets OTT Release Date: Know Where and How To Stream Disney's Live-Action Film
Lilo & Stitch has been one of the most loved films of the year. While the movie made millions at the box office, Disney has announced the OTT release date for the cinematic piece. From July 22, the audience will be able to watch the live-action film in the comfort of their homes. The movie will be available to stream on platforms like Amazon Prime and Apple TV+. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp, the Disney movie collected over USD 1 Billion, outperforming Tom Cruise ' Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning in theaters. The movie hit the big screens on May 23 and went on to overshadow Snow White's poor performance at the box office for Disney. What is Lilo & Stitch about? Lilo & Stitch is the remake of the 2002 animated film of the same name. The story of the movie follows a blue alien, Stitch, who crashes onto the Earth and gets adopted by a young girl named Lilo. The former is taken care of by the Hawaiian native and her elder sister, Nani. As for the plot, the official synopsis of the film reads, 'Stitch, an extraterrestrial entity, comes to planet Earth after he escapes his prison, where he tries to impersonate a dog. Things take a turn when Lilo adopts him from an animal shelter.' Sharing the insight of the film, the director, previously in conversation with Disney, revealed, 'We tried to adapt it in a way that paid loving tribute to the original but wasn't a one-to-one literal translation.' He further added, 'We were very clear-eyed about the fact that animation and live action are two completely different mediums; there are things you can do well in live action that you can't in animation, and vice versa.' Meanwhile, for the fans who want to stream Lilo & Stitch on OTT, they can also pre-purchase the movie and enjoy the cinematic piece on either streaming platforms or YouTube.
