Inspiring Walt Disney accompanies an exhibition at the Wallace Collection, delving into the profound influences of French art and architecture on Walt Disney and his studio artists. The exhibition specifically focuses on the Disney classics of hand-drawn animation, Cinderella (1950) and Beauty and the Beast (1991). By pairing preparatory material from these films, including concept art for talking furniture and fairy-tale castles, with masterpieces from the eighteenth century, the exhibition unveils hidden sources of inspiration and sheds light on the extraordinary talents behind Disney animated films and French decorative arts.
Just as the dynamic, twisting movements of the Rococo sought to infuse life into inanimate objects such as silver, porcelain, and furniture, so too did Disney animators strive to create the illusion of movement, action, and emotion. The catalogue is illustrated with innovative works by artists such as Mary Blair, Hans Bacher, and Peter J. Hall, as well as animated and anthropomorphic furniture, Sèvres porcelain, and gilt bronze from rococo designers. Through this exploration, the catalogue delves into the shared creative roots of these two seemingly disparate artistic realms, aiming to rekindle the feelings of excitement, awe, and marvel that both eighteenth-century craftsmen and Disney animators sought to ignite in their audiences.
