Fans can explore the fairy tale worlds of Disney’s classic animated feature films when Dreams Come True: The Art of Disney’s Classic Fairy Tales  arrives at the National Museum of History in Taipei on December 10, 2011, exhibiting through March 14, 2012. The installation includes many original Disney animation artworks never before seen by the general public and offers insights into how animated films are made. The gallery will also feature selected footage from seven classic films that will transport adults and children into an imaginative world of fun and fantasy.

During the three-month exhibition period, visitors will see selected works from the collection of the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, rarely made available to the public. The Animation Research Library is home to more than 60 million art treasures, documenting the animation history of The Walt Disney Studios, dating back to 1928. Dreams Come True features over 600 rare and beautiful works from this collection. At each of the previous venues, in the United States, Australia and, most recently, South Korea, it has enjoyed record attendance and tremendous acclaim.

Among the works on display are story sketches, concept art, backgrounds, character designs, maquettes, production notes, movie clips, and an original animator’s desk. The exhibition includes examples from Disney’s early animated shorts -Three Little Pigs, Ugly Duckling, Mickey and the Beanstalk - as well as feature-length films Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Princess and the Frog, and Tangled.

Dreams Come True was introduced at the New Orleans Museum of Art in 2009 where it was enthusiastically received. Traveling next to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, it began its Asian tour in South Korea before moving to Taipei.
