Mary Blair

I recently went to Disneyland and saw the Mary Blair exhibit at the Disney Gallery. Mary Blair was the woman who did the concept art and color styling for the "It's a Small World" ride (also for the films Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and Cinderella). We've always been obsessed with the ride so getting to learn about the woman behind it and seeing some of her original drawings was a dream come true!







Isn't it magical? It's like the colors she used don't even exist anymore. Props to Walt for recognizing her talent and giving her such awesome opportunities to showcase it. Disneyland and Disney movies would not be the same without her!
