By jove! They were all so magnificently amazing I can't really single one out.
The Wall-E one seemed to be the most on-model one, but they do have that large advantage of having their characters both 3D AND animated. But it was still terrific (although I do not understand the portrait in the sculpture... is that from tarzan?)
The Narnia 2 is simply stunning, especially the grand magnificent scenes which were incredibly detailed. I wouldn't have known they were carved out of sand if I wasn't told. The humans and Aslan don't really look like themselves though.
Sleeping Beauty's castle + thorn were breathtakingly beautiful. The multitude of angles and small detail to stay true to the film, I really applaud the artist and have GREAT respect for them. It's a shame not much focus would've been paid to the characters.

Those are amazing! I love that they tackled my two favorite Disney films (Alice and Narnia), though Aslan and the river god admittedly look peculiar. I agree that the Wall-E one is the most on-model thanks to having the most easily adaptable source visually. I think that one and the Alice one are the most impressive sculptures.
