  • Fall under the spell of Disney’s classic animation at this unique exhibition hosted by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.

    Drawn from the archives of the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, Dreams Come True: The Art of Disney's Classic Fairy Tales is a rare opportunity to see original concept art, story sketches, drawings, maquettes and final frame cells from some of the Walt Disney Studios' most celebrated films. An Australian exclusive, the exhibition features over 600 artworks from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Princess and the Frog, and Disney's latest animated feature Tangled. Walt Disney began adapting fairy tales for animation in the 1920s, inspired by the traditional tales of the Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen. The exhibition explores developments in story and animation techniques and showcases the work of influential Disney such as Mary Blair, Kay Nielsen, Eyvind Earle and Glen Keane.

    Dreams Come True takes you on a stunning visual journey behind the scenes of these timeless Disney fairy tale classics. The exhibition is accompanied by film programs, talks, live events, family and school holiday activities.

    Tickets are available online for advance bookings and further information is available from the ACMI website.
