Remember... it all started with a Mouse
Remember... it all started with a Mouse is a tribute to Walt's legacy and visionary imagination.  As part of this year's D23 Expo, local artist Noah was commissioned by Disney Consumer Products to create the iconic graphic celebrating this year's themes.  In exquisite detail, Noah has captured the joy and laughter that comes from Walt Disney's ever-familiar and contagious smile.  By carefully selecting a pallet of colors, he cleverly reveals this year's celebrated Disney film anniversaries including Walt Disney's 101 Dalmatians, Alice in Wonderland, Dumbo and Beauty and the Beast.  

Here's a behind the scenes look at Noah creating Remember. . . it all started with a mouse, please click here.

For the past decade, Noah has continued to magically interpret Disney characters through his unique style, which has become a favorite among Disney collectors worldwide. For more information on Noah, visit www.noahfineart.com.
