disney's hollywood studios was initially developed as both a theme park inspired by show business and an operating production studio, with active film and television production services, an animation facility branch, and a functioning backlot. construction on the combined park and studio began in 1987, but was accelerated when the construction of the similarly-themed universal studios florida began a few miles away. to increase public interest and the variety of film representation within the park, disney entered into a licensing agreement with metro-goldwyn-mayer, where from the park's original name was derived. the park's production facilities were removed throughout the 2000s, and many of the park's soundstages were retrofitted for newer attractions and guest use. the park's current name took effect in 2008, with the removal of the mgm-branding throughout the park. in the 2010s, the park began to distance itself from the original studio backlot intention and entered a new direction of immersive theming and attraction development inspired by hollywood stories.
