The Internet Movie Database today points out that the Disney Animation Tour at Orlando’s Walt Disney World re-opened on Monday, but that the attraction has one thing missing: “‘animators,’ the Orlando Sentinel observed, noting that if guests on the tour ask where the animators are, guides reply that they are ‘taking a break’. For the first time in many years, Disney has no hand-drawn animation feature in production and reportedly is considering permanently shutting down the Orlando facility”.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Sentinel itself is carrying an interview with long-time Disney producer Don Hahn which finally reveals his take on the current situation at Disney. On the same site, the Sentinel also reports on workers at the Florida resort and their Christmas “bonus” – they get to keep their jobs. Concessions have been agreed, so there’ll be no layoffs to spoil the festive season. Read the full story here.
