This is one of the newest Lego display sets designed to celebrate the history of Disney. More specifically, the Magic of Disney pays homage to the studio’s animated films.
You can’t talk about Disney “magic” without Mickey Mouse, so it’s fitting that the studio’s mascot is the centerpiece of the model. The buildable figure is based on Mickey’s appearance in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, one of the timeless shorts in the groundbreaking 1940 musical anthology Fantasia. In reference to one of the most memorable scenes, Sorcerer Mickey is joined by the Magic Brooms armed with buckets of water.
The buildable Mickey figure makes up a big chunk of the set’s 1,103 pieces, but this diorama features a several charming vignettes from animated Disney films through the ages. Pulled from the classics, there’s Simba from the Lion King surverying the kingdom from Pride Rock, Geppetto from Pinocchio floating on a raft, Belle from Beauty and the Beast next to glass display case for the rose, and Sebastian and Flounder from Little Mermaid splashing happily in the sea.
The Magic of Disney also includes scenes and characters from animated films from the 21st century, including Lilo surfing in Lilo & Stitch, and Bruno next to a small model of the Madrigal House from Encanto.
The set comes with four minifigures: Belle, Lilo, Geppetto, and Bruno. You’ll also get Lego animal figures of Simba, Flounder, and Sebastian.
