Now, we get a twist on this idea. Disney has published a new series from familiar films, but using the artwork from a single artist. This time around we get the artistic stylings of Mary Blair. (Disneyland fans may know her as one of the leading designers on it's a small world, and really old Disneyland fans will remember the Mary Blair mural in Tomorrowland). These books are a treat to look at, especially Cinderella, as her vision was often quite different from the finished product.
