From Cinderella to Beauty and the Beast and beyond, Walt Disney and the Disney Studios seamlessly integrated the aesthetics of French decorative arts into the enchanting fairy-tale worlds of beloved animated films. Picture pink castles, talking sofas, and objects coming to life: these fantastical elements were not the creations of Hollywood dream-maker Walt Disney but rather the vivid imaginations of the colorful salons of Rococo Paris. In this captivating publication, explore the novel use of French motifs in Disney films and theme parks. Discover forty works of eighteenth-century European design, ranging from tapestries and furniture to Boulle clocks and Sèvres porcelain, alongside 150 Disney film stills, drawings, and other works on paper. The text weaves these art forms together through a shared dedication to craftsmanship, highlighting references to European art in Disney films, such as the Gothic Revival architecture in Cinderella (1950), the bejeweled, medieval manuscripts in Sleeping Beauty (1959), and the Rococo-inspired furnishings and objects brought to life in Beauty and the Beast (1991). By bridging fact and fantasy, this book unveils remarkable new parallels between Disney's magical creations and their artistic inspirations.
