Iger ushering in new Disney era of risk-taking At the Walt Disney Studios, a fresh breeze -- one composed strictly of zeros and ones -- is wafting through the central corridors of the old Disney animation building on Dopey Drive, which are lined with blowups of cels from such Disney classics as "Pinocchio," "101 Dalmatians" and "The Little Mermaid." Disney's architects designed the animation building so that all the rooms had windows open to sunlight. Tunnels from the basement allowed animators to carry precious cels to other buildings without facing the elements. Today, Walt Disney's corner office on the third floor sits empty, the studios' executives having all decamped to the grander Team Disney building designed by Michael Graves. But ever since his death in 1966, Disney's presence has hung over the studio as both an inspiration and a curse. Longtime execs would ask, "But what would Walt do?" a refrain that was often as inhibiting as it was challenging.
