Disney Shares List of Characters Who Will Appear at “Off the Page!”
Last year, Disney announced a new character experience called “Off the Page” would debut this summer as part of the new Walt Disney Studios Lot coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We now have a list of the character encounters that will be part of the space.
Guests can expect to see the following characters: Mulan, Rapunzel, Chip n’ Dale, Donald and Daisy, Goofy, and Stitch. Per Disney, each character space will offer an opportunity to have photos made with these favorite characters. Here is a video with a little more on what to expect, and we’ve shared the official announcement below.
Explore “Off the Page!” and Spot Favorite Friends
You’ll also be able to venture into “Off the Page!” – a stunning area where you can meet some of your favorite friends from Walt Disney Animation Studios stories while celebrating the artistry behind every frame.
Each space offers incredible photo opportunities with some of your favorite characters. You can meet Mulan in the Story department, posing in front of an oversized storyboard panel. Or step into the Layout department where Rapunzel waits in a setting inspired by the classic multiplane camera, where you’ll see layers of backgrounds and painted cells come together like magic.
Together, these spaces highlight key stages of the animation process, each brought to life through character encounters. Some of character you may spot are:
- Mulan in Story
- Rapunzel in Layout
- Chip n’ Dale in Hand-Drawn Animation
- Donald and Daisy in CG Animation
- Goofy in Lighting
- Stitch in Effects
Every corner of “Off the Page!” is designed to immerse you in the craft of animation, as this experience is a collaboration between Walt Disney Imagineering and Walt Disney Animation Studios. Dan Abraham, Walt Disney Animation Studios Director and co-director of the Once Upon a Studio short, says he can’t wait to see what guests dream up after visiting the space.
“It’s so cool because you’re waiting in line to have fun with the characters… and you’re getting to see a bit of history of the studio as well,” Abraham said. “It could very well inspire people to move our studio into the future when they [join Walt Disney Animation Studios] and carry on this legacy that has meant so much to so many people.”
