RC, the remote controlled race car, is supposed to be a toy from the 1980s, so his packaging reflects the graphic style and "awesome features" of the period. Back in 2009, Jody and I had the great honor of being asked by Pixar and Disney Consumer Products to help create special packaging for the new Toy Story Definitive toy line, the most film-accurate replicas of the characters ever produced. At the time, Jody had just designed the Pixar Play Parade for Disney's California Adventure, and "Toy Story 3" was still in production. #packagingdesign #pixartoystory #remotecontrolcar #kevinkidney #jodydaily #disneymerchandise #1980s https://www.instagram.com/p/By-iTd1gdRr/?igshid=p9d5hygfh3op

Walt Disney's animated film "Bambi" (1942) has an exquisite title sequence—a series of delicate watercolor paintings of forest foliage in soft silhouettes. For our Craftsman-style "Bambi" lamp, Kevin used this imagery to for a unique stained glass shade. The shade consisted of green glass panels in front of metal cut-outs. When the lamp is on, the shadows appear behind the glass. #kevinkidney #bambi #stainedglasslamp #disneycollectibles #soldout https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjzghXgClq/?igshid=1udwz8zd0fysm

Here's a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the design process of another of our stained glass lamps for Disney. This Craftsman-style "Bambi" lamp was designed by Kevin in 2006, and has an inset window in the base that reveals silhouettes of young Bambi and the Great Stag. The shade consisted of green glass panels in front of metal cut-outs of forest leaves and foliage. The leaves can only be seen when the lamp is turned on. #kevinkidney #bambi #stainedglasslamp #disneycollectibles #soldout https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjwfeqAsmg/?igshid=3hsozdafpgj9

This "Pinocchio" stained glass lamp, designed by Jody, was released in 2006 in a small edition of only 750. This was part of a larger assortment of Disney collectible items created in the 'Arts & Crafts' style of the turn of the century. Built of richly stained wood and hammered metal, the lamp base supported a shade of wavy glass with metal cut-outs depicting scenes from the animated film based on the illustrations of artist Gustaf Tenggren. The metal cut-outs were designed in two separate layers positioned behind and in front of the glass resulting in dimensional "shadow scenes". It was an idea we came up with after seeing an Indonesian shadow puppet performance, and the results were stunning. We used this 'old world' effect on other lamps to follow. #Pinocchio #stainedglasslamp #KevinKidney #JodyDaily #artsandcrafts #craftsmanstyle #disneycollectibles #soldout https://www.instagram.com/p/BxMnnC6AbbT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s1nbwa29khy8
