Over the years different Disney related bronze sculptures (or some other material) have been for sale now and then. Such as Mickey in Fantasia, or individual pieces of Mickey, Donald and Goofy, Tinker Bell, Dumbo and Jiminy Cricket and others. Sadly I don't have any of those. But what if Disney wanted suggestions for future sculptures? It doesn't have to be their most famous characters. Some hypothetical suggestions:

The Magic hard in Fun and Fancy Free

Bongo the Bear

Wart pulling out the sword in The Sword in the Stone

Mowgli sitting on King Louie's throne with banana peel on his head in The Jungle Book

Peter and the Wolf

Brer Rabbit

Pablo The Cold-Blooded Penguin

Something from Snow White in the style of Gustaf Tenggren

Retro dinosaurs. Not how the dinosaurs are portrayed today, but who one assumed they were back when Fantasia and Rite of Spring was made.

The snow fairies in Fantasia

Or from individual shorts:

The Goddess of Spring, Disney's first attempt to draw a more realistic human looking character

Flowers and Trees, the first three-strip color cartoon ever made

Brave Little Tailor (if they include the giant, it would be a rather large sculpture)

Santa in the Silly Symphonies short Santa's Workshop

Thru the Mirror

Lonesome Ghosts,

Or even from their Comic books, especially those by Carl Barks;

Gyro Gearloose, for instance when he and Gus Goose visits Gus' dream planet, his Little Helper, or the square chickens in Lost in the Andes, the ruler of the planet of gold, the faceless people or the sea serpent in No Such Varmint.

I think the Magic Harp is a great choice, since she's already golden. I think the Fantasia fairies would be pretty, and I have a soft spot for Bongo!

I like your idea of "moments"- Wart and Mowgli.

How about the Black Cauldron? That's made of metal! I think Belle and Beast in the ballroom might be pretty.

Thanks. These were just some ideas I came up with. Everybody can add their own ones. So The Black Cauldron and The Beauty and the Beast would work great as well. We could have Belle and the Beast dancing, but if we add a lot of other things around it too, it would be a diorama. Which I also like, but which perhaps works best in color (imagine if one could use nothing but colors, glass and a 3D-printer to print a large diorama in the form of a block of glass with a scene inside, and some background art).

Kind of like these, but imagine they are glass?!

Well, those are mostly two dimensional. I was thinking more like the 3D laser etched crystal cubes that has been around for a while, like this: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ ... 1917041006

But instead of white dots, they would use microscopic dots of ink that hardened, dense enough to avoid any pixel effect and instead make the objects look solid, like 3D versions of animated 2D-characters. Everything that wasn't paint would be hard transparent glass (or possibly high quality plastic). Not sure if it's possible to do yet, but it would have been interesting to see such products being made.

Looks like someone are experimenting already, but without colors (and probably not always inside solid glass):

Whoa, those look cool. This idea reminds me of the "light boxes" sold at WDW (Gallery of Light Collection by Olszewski), but I know that those are different.
