At which Disney theme park studio was Mulan primarily produced?

The story behind the answer

Mulan was primarily produced at the Disney-MGM Studios animation facility in Florida.

The film was the first of three Disney features produced primarily at the animation studio located at the Disney-MGM Studios theme park, now known as Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The facility was part of Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida, Disney’s effort to expand feature-animation production beyond its traditional California base.

The Florida studio gave Mulan a special place in Disney animation history, although “primarily produced” does not mean every part of the movie was made there. Feature animation involves story development, layout, character design, voice recording, music, editing, and other work that can be distributed across teams and locations.

Production began developing in 1994. Before animation progressed, several artistic supervisors traveled to China for roughly three weeks to sketch, photograph, and study cultural details. Those observations helped shape the film’s simplified, graphic look, which drew inspiration from traditional Chinese art. The facility’s name later changed when Disney-MGM Studios became Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2008.
