Hello Kinkade Collectors,

The anticipation has been mounting for the seventh release in the Disney Dreams Collection.  We know because clients have been calling us for several weeks wondering when they could get a glimpse of the piece.  Well the waiting is over. 

We are very proud to present "The Lion King."

Once again Thom's Disney Dreams Collection sparkles.  The color palette is phenomenal and draws you right in.  As with previous Disney images, Thom has included some of the memorable characters from past Disney releases.  Can you find Snow White, The Beast, Jiminy Cricket, Peter Pan or Cinderella's mouse friends?

"You're Mufasa's boy!" That exclamation is the seminal moment on which this magnificent story of destiny, balance, and majesty turns and is one of my favorite lines in this most moving of tales.  Encapsulated in this statement is the affirmation of Simba's rightful position as heir and king. Yet despite his pedigree, Simba, besieged by imagined peccadillos and guilt ridden, leaves the comfort and security of his home to make his own way in life.  After all, was it not he whose cavalier behavior caused the death of his beloved father... running made sense and so he fled. Yet Rafiki would argue that you can't outrun destiny...a force whose role is ever present in this amazing journey evidenced by Simba's fortuitous encounter with two unlikely characters that would preserve Simba's life, teaching him to survive in the jungle, and whose friendship and support would eventually pave the way to his long awaited coronation. Moved by his profound love for Nala, and Pumbaa's and Timon's unwavering support, Simba summons the courage to embrace his destiny and take his rightful place at Pride Rock; thus completing the circle of life, restoring balance to the majestic African plains, and establishing himself in the long line of kings whose long departed watchful eyes look down approvingly on his ascension. 

 

As I painted my homage to this amazing story, I could not help but be moved by the intricate interplay between all of the magnificent creatures under Simba's domain. I imagined a lush, colorful, and bountiful African plain rightfully reestablished to its splendor after Simba vanquished Scar and his comedic, yet treacherous, hyenas each now forlorn in their punishment. The multitudes of animals have been summoned to pay tribute to Simba's new baby and their future regent as they wait under a spectacular sky illuminated in great anticipation. The world is as it should be...in harmony and perfectly balanced. Simba's heir is exalted by Rafiki and proudly symbolizes what waits when destiny is embraced, challenges faced, and one summons the courage to stand in the spotlight of providence. I trust that this image will both remind you of this fantastic story and its amazing characters and, most importantly, move you to face the future irrespective of history's impasses knowing that the watchful and approving eye of the King is content as you embrace your place in the circle of life."
