The exhibition explores Disney’s many trips to western Europe, where he encountered art and architecture that inspired the fairytale castles in his movies and theme parks.
“Both Disney animated films and Rococo decorative works of art are infused with elements of playful storytelling, delight, and wonder,” said Max Hollein, director of the Met. “Eighteenth-century craftspeople and 20th-century animators alike sought to ignite feelings of excitement, awe, and marvel in their respective audiences.
Said Wolf Burchard, the exhibition’s curator, “In mounting the Met’s first-ever exhibition devoted to Walt Disney and his studio’s oeuvre, it was important for us to explore his sources of inspiration as well as to recognize that his studio’s animated interpretations of European fairytales have become a lens through which many view Western art and culture today.
