Disney Displays Original Great Movie Ride Dancers in Holiday Window at Hollywood Studios

Disney presents the refurbished figures as a seasonal tribute rather than a return of the closed attraction.

Overview

  • Three Busby Berkeley–style dancer figures from the former attraction are now featured in a holiday window at Keystone Clothiers on Hollywood Boulevard.
  • Multiple outlets report the figures are original animatronics from the ride’s Footlight Parade opening scene that have been refurbished and redressed.
  • The dancers wear festive velvet Santa hats and silvery tutus, with visible holdovers like swim caps and silver heels noted by on-site observers.
  • Coverage stresses this display is a nostalgic, temporary installation and not a reopening or reanimation of The Great Movie Ride.
  • The ride opened in 1989 and closed in 2017 to make way for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in 2020, with the display prompting renewed fan nostalgia and speculation online without any official plans announced.
