Cinderella's Fairy Tale Hall -Tokyo Disneyland
This piece is part of the newly opened "Cinderella's Fairy Tale Hall". It is a walk through exhibit inside the castle at the Tokyo park.
I was commissioned by the Imagineering division to create a paper sculpture diorama from the Cinderella tale. They specifically assigned me the moment when the prince sees Cinderella for the first time as she arrives to the grand ball.
The interior case measures approximately 30 inch tall, 22 inches across, and 14 inches deep.
The color scheme for the ballroom is taken from the movie...PINK PINK PINK in all of it's various tints, shades, and tones. Having a predominantly warm color worked out well. Cinderella is the only one in a cool blue tone. The other ballroom ladies are in warm monochromatic colors so they blended into the background and are secondary in importance.
The various dress designs on the ladies are inspired by drawings of old Victorian fashions.
This is a picture of the portion of the walk through with the various diorama scenes from the film. Each scene was created in a different medium by a different artist--wood, metal, glass, acrylic, porcelain, and paper. It was a really challenging and fun project to work on. I hope to see it in person at the park one day.

So beautiful!
Beautiful!
Great visual tricks that you're forced to use by working in shallow spaces. In the end, it probably makes it more interesting than if you had unlimited space. Incredible detail, too.
Would love to hear about the process - how long this took, from concept to completion.
Amazing work!
Hey Meg, you work is beautiful!
I was just curious, what kind of paper did you use to construct it? You seemed to have found a paper selection with a nice variety of shades... ect... especially in the tones of the dresses.Is it just scrapping paper?
I would love to see this in person! I love the dress designs and everything, but that chandelier is just to beautiful!
WOW!!!
Thank you for all of the kind comments and curiosities! I can't get into to much detail about making of the piece since it is a Disney property.
What I will tell you is it is the longest I've ever worked on one single piece, and it is all hand painted.
Just stunning! I love the comp and the way it was lit, it really captures the Prince's awe at seeing his love appear to him. Such patience to make an elaborate piece, I don't know how you do it.
Brilliant Megan! I just shared your blog with some co-workers....they are all very angry with your skills ;)
Whoa! this is phenonmonal! Or however you spell it! Paper crafts are so beautiful and how you make it SO 3D is amazing! Lovely blog.
OMG! Brilliant.. I really love your details and the way you captured the feeling... love it
Amazing work! My friend shared your blog and as a paper crafter too, I bow to your talent.
