Description

Steamboat Willie. Inspired by the original Steamboat Willy cartoons, Romero Britto uses a monochromatic palette for this piece, reflecting the short black-and-white films from which the character originated. In his iconic pose, with one arm raised above his head as a greeting, the Steamboat Willy figure is a striking reinterpretation of the character’s original design. The subdued color palette complements the striking designs Romero Britto is so well known for, making this piece a must-have for Disney collectors and fans of Britto’s work. This Steamboat Willie statue is not a toy or children’s product. Intended for adults only.

DISNEY’S SENSATIONAL SIX

The Disney universe evolved from the Mickey Mouse short animated films produced by Disney beginning in 1928. Soon the other characters were added to the films and audiences were introduced to Mickey’s girlfriend Minnie, his dog Pluto, the hot-tempered Donald Duck and his beloved Daisy and, of course, the lanky Goofy. Together, these world-famous Disney cartoon characters make up what is popularly known as the “Sensational Six.” Over the years, their appearance has been changed several times to suit the spirit of the times; however, their characters remain the same. The Walt Disney Company strictly monitors its characters and how they are used on e.g. Merchandise.

Many unforgettable characters were added to the Disney family in the 100th anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. We were introduced to crowd favorites like Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Moana, the Lion King, Cinderella, Stitch and we could go on and on. All these characters you can also meet in any of the Disney parks worldwide. But the Sensational Six remains as popular as ever and is usually the highlight of shows and parades.
