The Walt Disney Archives has done it again! To celebrate Pinocchio’s 85th anniversary, the team recreated a historic photo of Walt Disney with animator’s models. This achievement highlights why I love the Archives. They bring history to life and remind us of Walt’s direct connection to these timeless stories.
Recreating this moment took careful planning and dedication. The original models, crafted in the late 1930s, helped animators bring Pinocchio’s characters to life. Thanks to the Archives, these rare artifacts have been preserved for decades. Now, they have a new spotlight.
I can’t help but admire the incredible work that goes into moments like this. It’s not just about looking back; it’s about keeping the legacy alive. Congratulations to the Walt Disney Archives team on this stunning recreation, and thank you for continuing to preserve the magic!
