One Sorcerer’s Hat Comes Down, Another Gets an Inspired Overhaul

While the big blue hat is slowly being dismantled over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Mouse House’s OTHER magic hat – the one atop the Roy E. Disney Animation Building in Burbank , CA – is getting gutted.

The LA Times explains:



Under the plans developed by the firm Lever Architecture, the building’s exterior will remain largely untouched, except for one major change: The blue “Fantasia” Sorcerer’s Cap, which once housed the office of Roy Disney, nephew of Walt Disney and longtime senior executive at the company, will become the building’s main entrance.

“There will be a gorgeous stairway that goes up into the hat,” [John] Lasseter said. “It’s a really great symbol, like you’re entering the building through the magic of Mickey Mouse’s hat.”

That sounds WONDERFUL!
