We are getting a special look today from Disney Imagineering of a what the Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom looks like in its full 50th Anniversary regalia in the style of famous artists Mary Blair.
“A couple weeks ago we shared a rendering of how this new décor will come to life. And for the first time – I’m excited to reveal this new Walt Disney Imagineering illustration of Cinderella Castle in full 50th Anniversary regalia in the style of Mary Blair,” Zach Riddley, Walt Disney World Site Portfolio Executive, Walt Disney Imagineering, said.
“We wanted to go back to the original story of this beautiful structure to create something entirely original for this grand celebration,” he said.
“Fanciful ribbons wrap in air around the castle turrets – inspired by the scene in the film where Cinderella is transformed in her stunning gown. And Mary’s designs provided us a beautiful palette of rich hues to choose from – deep blues, purples and shimmering golds mesh with a touch of EARidescence that will catch light and evolve through the day and into each evening,” he wrote.
Blair was a prominent Disney artist, drawing concept art for “Cinderella,” “Alice in Wonderland,” and “Peter Pan.” She also created character designs for Disneyland’s It’s a Small World, the fiesta scene in El Rio del Tiempo in the Mexico pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase, and the giant mosaic inside Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
The castle is now getting its first decorations put in place. Disney World’s 50th anniversary kicks off on Oct. 1, 2021 and the celebration will last for 18 months.
