Disney’s Imagineering team has been hard at work refurbishing the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough dioramas.

The vibrant new version of the classic walk-through attraction features colorful scenes of Aurora, her gallant prince, the evil Maleficent and other characters from the beloved fairy tale film.

This revived “show” differs from the window-display dioramas which could be seen in the castle during the 1980s and ’90s. It is inspirated from the unique style of the original Disneyland castle walk-through attraction of 1957 and is co-designed by animation art director and color stylist Eyvind Earle.

Enhanced with new scenes and special-effects magic, the new version of this attraction utilizes technology that was not available in the 1950s to tell the story of Sleeping Beauty, including the magic of good fairies Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, and the more sinister spells of the evil Maleficent.
