What is Disney Wall Art?
Founded in the 1920s, Disney changed the world with its child-focused stories and enchanting animation. Today, Disney continues to captivate kids and grown-ups across the globe and has become a widely recognised and hugely collected subject of art. The Disney films and characters are a rich and endless source of inspiration for contemporary artists; whether it’s reimagining the look of classic characters such as Snow White, or painting iconic scenes in new mediums, Disney wall art is a charming way to bring magic into your home.

What is the Disney Art Style?
The distinct style of Disney art is often defined as magical realism; characters and scenes are presented in a realistic way but through a magical, exaggerated lens. Before CGI, static backgrounds were intricately painted, and characters were brought to life on top of the still layer. Today, the traditional techniques fuse with the ever-developing forms of digital art. While the Disney style has progressed from the earlier films and animations, there are elements that make it unmistakably Disney.
What Are the Key Features of Disney Wall Art?
Outside of the Disney artists themselves, there are some key features that contemporary artists use in their own Disney-inspired works:
Colour Work: Disney art uses a carefully chosen colour palette moving from bright and bold, to delicate pastel to create a vibrant but whimsical effect. Colours can also be coded, with certain tones indicating villains and others, heroes. It can also play on psychological colour theory, the suggestion that certain colours evoke particular emotions (such as yellow for happiness).
Inspiring Messages: Disney art can be deeply moving, conveying inspiring messages of hope, endurance, love and kinship.
Rebellion: Although Disney may not strike viewers as immediately rebellious, artists may twist original characters, giving them new and imaginative origin stories. These acts of artistic rebellion encourage us to reconsider the concept of ‘hero’ and ‘villain’.
Nostalgia: Generations have grown up with Disney and Disney wall art is sure to inspire a sense of warmth and nostalgia in those who view it.
Varying Styles & Materials: Like the evolution of Disney animation itself, artists may utilise traditional sketching and painting, collage, mixed media or digital techniques to create their works.

Disney prints are perfect for children’s bedrooms and hangout spaces – but the right Disney art can look just as striking in an adult space!
Disney wall art is eye-catching and demands a space where it can shine! A carefully chosen feature wall colour can take your artwork to the next level.
The general rule for artwork is to hang at eye-level where it can be appreciated; however, if the art is in a kid's space, break the rules and hang it lower, to add it to a gallery wall where they kids can make the most of it.
