Sleeping Beauty Castle

About the Work

"Sleeping Beauty" is a feature-length animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released in 1959. The art director for this film was Eyvind Earle, known for his distinctive stylized backgrounds inspired by Gothic art of medieval Europe.

Aurora's Castle, the setting of the film, is characterized by vertically elongated slim towers and spires. Earle's concept art features an impressive geometric and stylized design, representing an artistic interpretation different from the theme park castle at Disneyland.

About This Model

This "Aurora Castle" papercraft was created for promotional purposes for a Disney Art Exhibition. It is designed based on the imagery of Eyvind Earle's concept art, so it differs from the theme park architectural structure.

This large-scale model, consisting of 31 A4-sized sheets, recreates the complex spires and decorations in three dimensions. It was created for exhibition display at the exhibition venue and was also available as a download for visitors.
