Happy 100th birthday Mary Blair!!!
Mary Blair (October 21, 1911 - July 26, 1978), born Mary Robinson, was an American artist who was prominent in producing art and animation for The Walt Disney Company, drawing concept art for such films as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Song of the South and Cinderella.
Which Disney Designer Princess is your favorite (sorry Pocahontas fans! Feel free to include her in your answers!)?
+ Cinderella (1950) concept art by Mary Blair
Originally, Cinderella was meant to rise to the sky with her prince while dancing, a concept that would not make it to a Disney film until nine years later in Sleeping Beauty.
Disney, I’m letting you know here and now that I would pay any amount of money for these to be real. Please produce these along with the original artwork so I can read them to my children when I have them. And please give us high resolution scans of the Tangled one because I’ve never seen it before now..
This blog is in dedication to the films that defined our generation; the films that taught us to love fully, forgive earnestly and to always follow our dreams.
