Artworks inspired by Disney and cartoons

The story of Disney begins in 1923 when Walt Disney founded his animation studio, soon joined by his brother Roy. In 1928, the appearance of a character with big ears — Mickey Mouse — revolutionized the animation industry. The following decades saw the birth of classics such as Snow White, Cinderella, The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin, which shaped the global collective imagination. At the same time, other animation studios also made history, such as Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, and Pixar. The aesthetic of cartoons – bright colors, expressive shapes, visual storytelling – became a universal language that continues to inspire many contemporary artists today. The Disney universe remains a major cultural pillar, blending magic, emotion, and artistic innovation.
