Hollywood & Dine Cel and Pin Release

Join us on Saturday, June 22, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 to 5 p.m. at Animation Gallery inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios,  for the release of  the Hollywood and Dine cel. This piece features Minnie, Mickey and a hand painted Goofy at the iconic Hollywood and Dine location.

Open from 2001 – 2002, Hollywood and Dine was located inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios™. The outside of the building, like much of Hollywood Pictures Backlot, resembled a soundstage. The outdoor dining area featured assortments of movie props and equipment. A large mural, depicting a futuristic Hollywood, featuring movie theaters (showing films such as Scream 33, The Sixty-Sixth Sense, and Fantasia 2460) and futuristic landmarks such as a DisneyQuest hovering thousands of feet over Los Angeles.

The first 750 framed cels ordered will come with a special limited edition pin to commemorate the release of Hollywood and Dine.

The Ink and Paint cel frames are wooden frames with options of either black or gold finishing.  All Ink and Paint cels are framed in museum grade plexi to preserve the delicate art.

If you are unable to attend the premiere of Hollywood and Dine, but would still like to purchase the Ink & Paint cel, please contact Walt Disney Event Services to pre-order your cel at 407-827-7600, Monday – Friday from 9am to 5pm.
