[It's A Small World]

Inside Art of Disney Animation called doublage speak for yourself. Does this mean   you can sing disney songs form the disney films.

[Josh]

Nope. The audience aren't asked to sing.

At the end of the attraction once you have seen the Animator explain how the movies are made there are a few interactive features at the far end of the room where Ursula will 'capture' your voice and play it into a scene from a movie.

It is accessible without going through the actual attraction if you just walk into the exit.

as Scissorsboi says, the "speak for yourself" part is in the interactive museum section at the end of the attraction.

From what I remember, here's the activities you can do after the show:

1) Sit at light up animation boards, get some pinned animation paper, and a pencil, and a cast member leads a class on how to draw a Disney character, starting with basic shapes like circles and squares. Almost anybody can get great results at these, we did Mickey, Pooh, Donald, Mushu etc and even by youngest got great results.

2) Computerised interactive touchscreen machine where you can "colour in" (ms paint style) various Disney pictures.

3) Computerised interactive voice activated machine where you dub in the voices for scenes from Disney films (usually a sing-along) - pretty sure this is the one you were asking about.

4) Computerised interactive button based machine where you use the buttons to add sound effects (crashes, splashes etc) to a cartoon scene.

5) Drawing and Tracing with pencil and paper very basic frames to create a looping animation, such as a windmill turning round, character smiling etc.

6) Along one wall in a glass cabinet are various exibits including original machettes of Ursula from "The Little Mermaid" and   Beast from "Beauty & the Beast" for you to try and draw, just as the original animators would have. (Machettes are clay 3 dimensional models of a character for animators to use to help them visualise what the characters will look like from all angles. Often nowadays computer models are used instead, but we got a kick from seeing original ones from these classic films!)

Our family (all quite into drawing and animation history) spent more time in this part than the 2 main cinema shows (the first one is clips from Disney films, the second is a basic introduction to how animation is created, with a cast member talking to "Mushu" on a projection screen).

After the two shows and interactive part there is a cool shop, where we bought a drawing book containing the same style of help for drawing other Disney characters, its's great, large format, around A3 in size, cost 9.99 EUR, which we thought was a bargain.

Oh, I've never noticed that before. I'll have to try that next time I visit.

Yes, you don't have to got through the whole attraction to get to the end section, you can enter right by the shop, or walk through the shop to get to the interactive bit. That's what we did to go to the drawing lesson several times. The attraction itself is great, but I wouldn't think anyone would want to que then sit through it all several times in one holiday
