Enesco Walt Disney Archives Beauty and The Beast Gift Boxed Notecard Set, Multicolor;

The Walt Disney Archives collection celebrates the rich history and majestic artistry of the Walt Disney Company, revisiting seldom seen original treasures, from animation maquettes to archival stationery. A groundbreaking film of wonder and romance, Disney's “Beauty and the Beast” was the first animated movie ever nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award. It premiered in 1991 to rave reviews from young and old, but its critical and commercial success was a long road in the making. Walt Disney made two separate attempts — in the 1930’s and the 1950’s — to bring the film to life, but writers struggled to transform the originally dark text into a Disney vehicle. In the late 80’s a Who’s Who team of creative minds set the story in charming 19th century France, created a score of splashy musical numbers, and added both Gaston and the enchanted objects to give us the classic we know and love today. The story of a spirited young girl and the beast who must learn to love her, and earn her love in return, continues to capture hearts today in a live action version starring Emma Watson. Presented in a gift box inspired by the film’s opening sequence, this special set of notecards features artwork curated from archival sources, from rarely seen production artwork to promotional material which showcases the film’s memorable artistic achievement.
