Former Soundstage A was renamed “Sherman Brothers Stage” in honor of the songwriting duo. The soundstage was where many Sherman Brothers songs were recorded, including “I Wanna Be Like You” and “It’s a Small World.” The dedication was done at the premiere of “Christopher Robin” on the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank

Erected for the film "The Reluctant Dragon". The sign soon become a landmark and Walt Disney often posed with visitors and celebrities in front of the sign. The sign is just a prop and does not accurately give directions on the lot.

The 419-seat Theater, another original building on the Burbank lot, shows first-run Disney films for studio employees and guests. It has plush stadium seating and has been upgraded over the years to keep pace with new technology in the exhibition of films. Food and drink are not allowed inside. Throughout its history, the theater has also been used for post-production sound mixing. According to the Disney production services website, "The Main Theater is a state-of-the-art digital sound dubbing and screening facility that was first used to mix the sound for Fantasia [in 1940]. Sound mixers blend dialogue, music, and sound effects tracks to the various levels appropriate for a movie theater. The acoustics are designed to simulate a theater that is three-quarters full. Although the theater is empty during the mixing session, extra padding in the seats and specially designed walls absorb and reflect the sound. This helps the sound mixers to know what the final product will sound like when it is released to the public."

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 (1951), Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Sleeping Beauty (1959), One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), The Rescuers (1977), and The Fox and the Hound (1981). The animation for The Black Cauldron (1985) was the last to be completed at the site.

Colonel Critchlow Sunchbench – Club Gleemeister of the former Adventures Club in Orlando. The colonel is a cable-controlled puppet worked from behind the scenes. He was usually "on duty" (sitting dormant), but he woke up to lead the new inductees in the club song, and occasionally to converse with guests in the Main Salon. The Colonel is now located at the Walt Disney Archives within the Walt Disney Studios.
