About: Miniature Painting of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Fairy Castle
On the wall of the Great Hall of the Fairy Castle is a painting of Mickey and Minnie Mouse dressed as the King and Queen of Hearts, characters from Alice in Wonderland. The painting was given to Colleen Moore to place in the Fairy Castle by Walt Disney (1901-1966) himself.
The Great Hall with floating staircase is a grand room with many treasures. The floor is composed of ivory carved with rose vines which carry up onto the great pillars supporting the ceiling. The ceiling includes domes painted by Helga Brabon of characters from fairytales of both the Grimm brothers and Hans Christian Anderson. The Great Hall includes many hanging wall paintings as well as many rare treasures gathered from around the world.
