ACMI brings the magic of Walt Disney Animation Studios to Melbourne this winter
ACMI, Australia’s national museum of screen culture introduces the internationally acclaimed exhibition Disney: The Magic of Animation to Melbourne as part of the city’s Melbourne Winter Masterpiece series.
This rare glimpse behind the scenes of Walt Disney Animation Studios gives visitors the opportunity to experience the incredible artistry behind the studio’s much-loved characters and see how drawings are brought to life, from pencil and paper to today’s computer-generated wonders.
Walt Disney Animation Studios has been creating extraordinary films for nearly a century, with every film beginning with drawings that capture the essence of character, story and emotion.
Disney: The Magic of Animation features over 500 original art works from the 1920s through to the present day, including paintings, sketches and concept art that have been specially selected by the Walt Disney Animation Research Library.
These rarely seen works reveal the development of beloved stories and animation techniques from dozens of classics ranging from Mickey Mouse’s first talkie Steamboat Willie (1928) to Fantasia (1940) to Frozen (2013).
Disney: The Magic of Animation also debuts never-before-exhibited artwork from the studio’s newest critically-acclaimed release Raya and the Last Dragon (2021).
