Walt Disney Studios (Burbank) areas on other floors. The Studio's Starbucks Coffee shop is also located on the ground floor. The three-story former main building for Walt Disney Animation Studios was completed in 1940, based on a Streamline Moderne design by industrial designer and architect Kem Weber. It is considered the jewel of the original studio buildings. Walt Disney personally supervised the eight-wing "double H" design, ensuring as many rooms as possible had windows, which allowed natural light into the building to help the animators while working. Many Disney animated features were drawn here, including "Dumbo" (1941), "Bambi" (1942), "Cinderella" (1950), "Alice in Wonderland"
