Disney Cats & Dogs exhibit | Walt Disney Family Museum | Complete Exhibit Walkthrough

Animatronic Duo returned to The Walt Disney Family Museum to see the Disney Cats & Dogs exhibit. The exhibit closes June 2, 2024, so Animatronic Duo made a visit to document the exhibit before it goes away for good. The video is comprehensive and shows each video and wall of the exhibit. Unfortunately the audio wasn’t working on the video when we went to the exhibit, but there are subtitles and we added music to make it more interesting. Please like and subscribe. We have a couple more videos coming in the next month and will be returning to Disneyland this summer and fall and making a lot more videos!
According to the Walt Disney Family Museum website:
“Disney Cats & Dogs is a traveling exhibition originally presented in 2021 by the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, Walt Disney Archives, and Disney Japan at Matsuya Ginza-the historic department store in Tokyo-before traveling to additional destinations in Japan. In conjunction with The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary, this unique and exciting exhibition was on view for the first time in the United States from Saturday, June 24, 2023 through Sunday, June 2, 2024. Disney Cats & Dogs explores the evolution and innovation of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ animal-inspired animation and storytelling through the decades, and the massive undertaking involved in bringing their iconic cats and dogs to life on screen. From loveable main characters like Mickey Mouse’s best pal Pluto, Lady and Tramp from Lady and the Tramp (1955), Pongo and Perdita from One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Duchess from The Aristocats (1970), and Oliver from Oliver & Company (1988), to supporting sidekicks such as Lucifer from Cinderella (1950) and Percy from Pocahontas (1995), Walt Disney’s love for animals and proclivity for starring cats and dogs in his films has led to their endearing portrayals and prominence in Disney’s animated and live-action films to this day.  This extensive collection of over 300 archival reproduction concept sketches, paintings, model sheets, animation drawings, posters, photographs, digital artworks, and final film sequences highlight the true-to-life design and movements of Disney’s speaking and non-verbal cats and dogs, perfectly paired with their charismatic personalities and quirks that make them such memorable characters.
Walt was once quoted as reflecting, “Animals have personalities like people, and must be studied.” By 1930, he had supported an animation training program for his artists to better understand both human and animal anatomy, with live animals often brought into the Studios for the artists to observe and sketch up close. As evidenced in Bambi (1942), Walt’s artists were able to successfully bring their cast of animal characters to the big screen with realistic movements and mannerisms, while also elevating their individuality and attitudes, ultimately solidifying them as some of Disney’s most beloved animated characters for generations to come.
This exhibition also gives visitors an insight into Walt’s love of animals with archival photographs, quotes, and personal stories on display. Walt’s family cared for many cats and dogs throughout his life, and he often found inspiration for sequences in his films from these animal friends. Even in the early days of the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio-known today as The Walt Disney Company-Walt would create roles for his Uncle Robert Disney’s German Shepherd, Peggy. Her live-action debut in the Alice Comedies in 1924 marked the first appearance of a real-life Disney dog, and she quickly became a fan favorite.”
