    taking a sculpture maquette class would have been awesome. I got to learn animation from Phil Young, and he was doing a maquette class at my local college, but sadly passed away due to covid complications. Never got to take his course...he did teach me a lot though and I loved him as a teacher.

    Damn Aaron this is so inspiring. Makes me want to get a resin 3D printer and print out sculpts I’ve done in Blender and Nomad for drawing reference. I’ve always wondered what Marc Davis’ Snow White sculpture looked like! Thank you for showing it!

    I'm really upset Disney doesn't release pieces like this in large production for collectors. I absolutely love Beast, and it's damn near impossible to find an acceptable figure or statue of Beast that's accurate in likeness.
    Bandai does this with anime and comic characters regularly. Not sure why Disney hasn't gotten up to speed on something like this.

      That's not the point. They could make a lot of money off of these for merchandising. Do you have any idea how popular anime figures are in Japan? Hugely popular.
      And companies like Bandai produce quality pieces with spot-on character likeness the size of these maquettes for dirt cheap, and that's where a huge percentage of Bandai's revenue comes from.

      And just to say, all the figures/statues I've seen that are amazing for Beast's likeness have been from Bandai and Medicom Toy (both Japanse companies); with the exception of Jim Shore from the US. Who has only done a handful.

    I have Scar, Mufasa, Pocahontas and John Smith, so if you want to do another episode like this at some point, you're welcome to borrow them when you're in the area (maybe if you swing by to see Darko and Mirjana at FAVO one of these days. They have my #). -Jen O.

    I've seen a few artists who use 3D Models instead of IRL sculptures.
    What do you think? Is there a noticeable difference between using a "Virtual" Maquett vs. one you can actually touch and rotate with your own hands?

    Hello! How are you doing Mr. Blaise? I hope all is great.
    Love all your maquettes, they are so beautiful, from Raja to Koda and Kenai, and of course that amazing Mother Bear.
    And Yao!! He is one of My favorite characters.
    Sculpture is one of My favorite things, and looking at some of My favorite characters and how they were used to draw and animate our beloved movies is so special.
    I took sculpture in art school (which sadly couldnt finish) and then as a workshop, and I think I was always a goal to create for animation too
    Now I am really inspired to continue studying and creating by myself...just to start: My grizzly bear I was doing when the workshop ended.
    Of course compared to mother bear is tiny and looks it has never eaten hehe
    Thank You for showing your collection
    And thank You for inspiring with your art.

    Thank you so much for sharing these treasures with us. I wish I were a little mouse to see how the 2D movies was made, and the use of these maquettes. I remember the maquette of the Beast displayed in the attraction Art of Animation at Disneyland Paris, it was so impressive, all in movement (kinda like the one of Koda's mum *o*). I would love an exhibition around the world displaying all the maquettes that were made ^^

    hey Arron, i've been watching your content for a while now and i'm intrested in what animations you find cool that are pretty obscure. and if your down for a foreign watch id suggest 'dead leaves' by studio trigger, its pretty old so the quality not very good, and the humours real raunchy but its one of the best animated piece's ive seen, though im pretty sure its the polar opposite of your style anyway cool maquettes
