DR. PHILLIPS Artistic talent filled the Art of Fitness Personal Training and Yoga Studio in Dr. Phillips Saturday, Nov. 19, as alumni from the former Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida Studio reunited. The studio closed 12 years ago, and the Magic Beyond the Mouse art show served as a way to bring the artists together to catch up and showcase the work they’ve created in the years since the closure. Many of those in attendance played instrumental roles in the creation of hit Disney films such as “Mulan,” “Lilo & Stitch” and “Brother Bear.”
