At a time when the vast majority of Disney animators were men, Walt Disney himself referred to Mary Blair as his favorite. Her work was unlike any other animator and regarded as true works of art. She was integral in helping add whimsy and life into many Disney characters such as Peter Pan, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, etc. In addition to her animation, she became the primary graphic designer for Disney’s advertising. She is also credited as the key designer of It’s a Small World.

To learn more about Mary Blair and her GORGEOUS artwork read The Art and Flair of Mary Blair (Updated Edition): An Appreciation (Disney Editions Deluxe).

Cinderella happens to be my most FAVORITE Disney movie and this print version is EXQUISITE! I urge you to check out Walt Disney’s Cinderella (Reissue) (Walt Disney’s Classic Fairytale) picture book for the artwork alone.
