It’s time for another exiting installment of Saturdays With Nick! That means it’s the weekend (finally)! Until I met Nick, I only thought I had a pretty decent collection of Disneyana. Compared to Nick, though, I’m a total rookie. I’m sorry to say I have not one single piece of the Walt Disney Classics Collection and will reluctantly admit, this is probably not a bad thing. For my own sanity and the safety of my wallet, I need to draw the line somewhere. That doesn’t keep me from absolutely adoring this pair of cuties. Be sure to check out the expression on Minnie’s face! Totes adorbs! (Nick loves it when I say that!)
Brave Little Tailor – Walt Disney Classics Collection
By Nick
These Mickey and Minnie, Brave Little Tailor Walt Disney Classics Collection pieces are among my favorite collectibles.
Mickey stands 7 1/4 inches tall. Plussing includes a matte platinum finish on his scissors.
Titled “I let him have it”, it is the 1993 Animators Choice Figurine, and the first year redemption sculpture for the Walt Disney Classic Collection. It bears the Treble Clef production mark, symbolizing the music in the Academy Award-winning ‘Silly Symphonies’.
Minnie stands 6 1/2 inches tall. Her veil is painted with opalescent paint, and her shoe buckles are painted gold.
Titled “Princess Minnie”, this piece was the 1996 Animator’s Choice sculpt.
She has the Sailor’s Hat production mark, which represents Donald Duck’s on-screen debut in 1934 animated short, ‘The Wise Little Hen’.
They perfectly capture 2 beloved characters in a beloved scene from a (Is he going to say it again? Yes!) beloved animated short.
