The “Open House” Banner Frames the Animation Entrance

The entrance sign uses a hand-painted look and reads “Open House” above the reworked Animation Courtyard. The design brings Mickey Mouse, the Mad Hatter, Flounder, Moana and Minnie Mouse into the sign treatment, with the Lost Boy from Return to Neverland at the top.
