In case you’ve ever wondered what it was like to wander the Disney Studios, here’s a rare shot for you. It’s really quite neat and orderly, and without the need for soundstages to film on, the studio lot isn’t crowded with rows of cavernous warehouse-sized buildings. This particular road we’re looking down is called Minnie Mouse Boulevard and that building on the left is the Ink and Paint Department where women spent their days putting the final touches on the hand-drawn animation cels. This shot is from 1943, when the studio was relatively quiet because of the war. It would ramp up again soon as the studio went into production for 1950’s “Cinderella.”
