When the Disney-MGM Studios opened in 1989, the park had a working Animation Studio. Guest could tour the facility and learn how animated films were made. The studio closed in 2004, but many Disney films were worked on at the park, including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Roger Rabbit shorts, and Mulan. The animation tour closed in 2015 and was replaced with The Star Wars Launch Bay. This clip comes from “Back To Neverland” a short film starring Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite.

Hollywood history has come full circle. In the 1930s, the first Metro Goldwyn Mayer sign was raised on the company’s Culver lot as a beacon to the community and an iconic symbol that the studio was open for business. The MGM sign overlooked the famed studio’s sound stages for nearly sixty years. To celebrate over 100 years of MGM studio’s cinematic history, Amazon MGM restored the original, iconic Metro Goldwyn Mayer sign and resurrected it at Amazon MGM Studios’ Culver City headquarters.
