Wish Upon a Star: The Art of Pinocchio, is guest-curated by John Canemaker—an Academy Award, Emmy Award, and Peabody Award-winning independent animator, animation historian, teacher, and author, according to a news release from the museum.

The exhibit, running May 18, 2016 to Jan. 9, 2017, is being presented in six sections: story, design, production, art direction, character development and animation.

More than 300 objects will be on exhibit, including original hand-drawn artwork, character model sheets, cels, maquettes, paintings, conceptual artwork, artifacts, flipbooks, and film clips, the release said.

Also being shown at the exhibit is a model of a horizontal Multiplane Camera. This was developed by The Walt Disney Studios in the 1930s, allowing various planes in a scene—each painted on separate panes of glass—to be filmed simultaneously, creating a perception of depth.

The museum is located in The Presidio of San Francisco.
