JeanGreyForever Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Funny how we were just talking about Dumbo and Bambi as animal molds. Bambi looks fine but Dumbo is very cartoony and barely looks like a Lego figure. I don't think I'll be picking up this set. Edited July 5, 2023 by JeanGreyForever
PGBQW Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Looks like Lego proved me right with Dumbo and Bambi! Love the camera build, tho, it looks stunning
Surge Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 wow that camera went from just a maybe to a day one buy! mostly for those bambi and dumbo figs, but also the camera is just such a nice build!!! this is quite a leap, but the new mold for dumbo and bambi give me some hope at a lion king set whith at least a new pumbaa mold, then a statuette timon, minifig rafiki (new head mold), then reusing the lions. i could even see the lions reusing the body mold then having new heads as i am pretty sure those r separate made pieces that just cannot be separated by consumers.
OttoRiver Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Bambi and Dumbo were a welcome surprise but I do wish Dumbo was in a more active pose. Would have been nice to pose him "flying". As for the camera, I love it but is the film reel stills from the movies or Legofied stills from the movies?
JeanGreyForever Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 I get why Mickey and Minnie were included but they just seem like watered down versions of their previous figures in the CMF series 2 or the Steamboat Willie set. This was a missed opportunity to include a B&W Oswald. And I agree that a sitting Dumbo is a little too limiting especially since his most famous role is flying. It would have been nice if they had done something with his ears too so you could flap them up and down.
AstroFalcon Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 This set sounded really confusing from the rumoured description but it's actually very pretty. I don't love the idea of having popular characters exclusively in pretty pricey sets but it's so nice to get some more of the classics. Beautiful set imo, will end up getting it at some point later in the year.
JohnTPT17 Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Oh, wow, I did not have Dumbo or Bambi on my bingo card for characters that would be made this year! And they both look great! I can only imagine what the price to get them on the aftermarket will be though - I don't really want or need the camera, as well-designed as it is. Looking at the camera reel, I think the scenes are (in reverse chronological order): -2021: Encanto (Mirabel and Alma) -2013: Frozen (Coronation Elsa/Let it Go) -2009: The Princess and the Frog (Tiana on the balcony) -1998: Mulan (Mulan and Mushu) -1994: The Lion King (Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa on the bridge) -1991: Beauty and the Beast -1989: The Little Mermaid (Same image as in Villain Icons) -1977: The Rescuers (on their leaf boat) -1973: Robin Hood -1967: The Jungle Book (Baloo and Mowgli) -1963: The Sword in the Stone (Arthur pulling the sword) -1959: Sleeping Beauty (Maleficent) -1951: Alice in Wonderland -1950: Cinderella (Cinderella and Fairy Godmother) -1942: Bambi -1941: Dumbo -1940: Fantasia (Sorcerer Mickey) or Pinocchio -1937: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves? -1928: Steamboat Willie If any of those are teases for future characters, we still have some whopper sets in the pipeline! Edited July 5, 2023 by JohnTPT17 Added in ones I couldn't figure out and the timeline. Thanks @OttoRiver and @karrit!

This one looks a bit non- Lego.
thebricksbear Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Lmao that was a very dirty move by lego IMO. Putting extremely desirable figs in an extremely ugly and expensive set.
Robert8 Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Has the Hunchback of Notre Dame been even referenced at all by TLG? I think its only of the few animated movies that hasnt apperead anywhere. Not even in this camera reel

Add that to the fact that it's one of the more unpopular movies, arguable less so than even Atlantis (which has doorables now!) and it's not surprising it gets overlooked
Murdoch17 Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 There are actually two cameras in the Walt Disney set. The big one, and the multi-plane one behind Walt, used for getting zoom-in / out shots on animated films. Ub Iwerks invented that device, I believe, and it's nice to see it represented.
karrit Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 I'm not one for the buildable objects like the Typewriter, Piano, Guitar and such but this set is pretty impressive. Can't wait to see what all is depicted on that film reel. This one definitely goes on the wishlist way ahead of the Villians Icons and maybe even the Castle.

If any of those are teases for future characters, we still have some whopper sets in the pipeline! Looks like Bambi below Cinderella. The red one toward the bottom I think might be Bandleader Mickey from the Band Concert or if not him then maybe Sorcerer Mickey. Actually the more I look at that one it could be either Hercules or Kronk. Edited July 5, 2023 by karrit

Actually the more I look at that one it could be either Hercules or Kronk. Agree, almost certain it’s Bambi below Cinderella. Leaning towards sorcerer Mickey but could also see it being band concert mickey. And I think it’s Pinocchio below the Sorcerer/Band Concert mickey film cell Edited July 5, 2023 by DisneyLego
OttoRiver Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Given that the films are going backwards in release order, I think its Mirabel and Abuella at the very top with Elsa is Let it Go beneath them. The very bottom red looks like Sorcerer Mickey commanding the stars and Pinocchio beneath him which would put Snow White as the very last on the strip. Given Dumbo and Bambi are in the set, I imagine the 2 between Cinderella and Fantasia would be them. Edited July 5, 2023 by OttoRiver

Still can’t place the image in the smaller camera, the house/road scene looks so familiar but can’t figure it out Edited July 5, 2023 by DisneyLego
Aramar Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 So many new Lego figures this year! My bank account is crying 😂. Bambi and Dumbo look cute. Since we know already the sets for September, I imagine there won't be any new sets in August. A spare month to try to save some money 💰

Not sure if that's what you see in the one on display @ Hollywood Studios in Disney World. Maybe Sleepy Hollow?

I was also thinking that everything on the reel was only from the 2D movies, but Frozen and Encanto make sense for those top two. I'll go back and edit it with the years in case anyone would want to see it. 39 minutes ago, DisneyLego said: Still can’t place the image in the smaller camera, the house/road scene looks so familiar but can’t figure it out The only thing that came to my mind was the stock image when you take an eye exam and get air blown into your eye. I'm at a loss as well...
doclord Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 The picture of the house is from Disney's video introducing the Multiplanar camera.
