Disney will present an exhibition dedicated to women animators

As part of the festival in Gran Canaria

Disney is preparing an exhibition titled Whimsy & Wonder, dedicated to the work of women animators at the studio. The event will take place during the Animayo animation festival on the island of Gran Canaria, reports Variety.

Among the exhibits are works by Mary Blair, who in the 1950s transformed the visual style of classic animated films such as «Cinderella,» «Alice in Wonderland,» and «Peter Pan,» using bright colors and unconventional shapes.

The exhibition will also showcase the works of six contemporary artists, including Lorelay Bove and Josie Trinidad, who worked on «Zootopia» and «The Princess and the Frog,» as well as Lisa Keene, who contributed to «The Lion King» and «Frozen.»

The exhibition will be open from May 7 to May 10.
