The Shorts Building was constructed from two original Animation Buildings at the Disney Studios on Hyperion Avenue in Hollywood. Those two sections were moved to the Burbank site in 1939-1940 as part of the studio construction project. At Hyperion, the building housed the creative and animation staffs for many Disney short subject cartoons as well as the animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and it was also the home of Walt and Roy's original offices. After its move to Burbank, it housed the Comic Strip, Publicity, and Foreign departments. Because it served both Walt Disney Studio locations, the Shorts Building holds a unique place in the company's history. The building underwent an extensive renovation in 1992-1993 and now houses various Studio Operations departments.
