Disney Sleeping Beauty Dancing in the Enchanted Light Wall Art by Thomas Kinkade Studios

Image Notes

Sleeping Beauty, released in 1959, was Disney’s sixteenth animated feature and the last animated film produced by Walt Disney to be based on a fairy tale. It was additionally the last animated feature from Disney to be inked by hand.

It was that dedication to Walt’s artistic storytelling that inspired Thomas Kinkade Studios to capture the magic of Sleeping Beauty’s tale of love triumphing over evil. We are proud to present Sleeping Beauty Dancing in the Enchanted Light, the fourth piece in the Dancing in the Light collection.

As we jump into the scene, Prince Phillip has already awakened Princess Aurora with true love’s kiss. We see the pair in the courtyard under an enchanted light streaming down from the good fairies. It is just the two of them, with their hearts in the clouds as they dance "happily ever after."

Thomas Kinkade Studios

Thomas Kinkade, known as the “Painter of Light,” valued both artistic skill and mentorship. Throughout his career, he shared his creative process with fellow artists and encouraged collaboration. By exchanging ideas and demonstrating his approach, he established the techniques, concepts, and vision that shaped the signature Kinkadian style seen in his paintings.

Today, the artists of Thomas Kinkade Studios continue to apply many of the methods he developed, from initial sketches to digital refinement, oil brushwork, image recapture, and the careful use of light. These techniques guide the creation of paintings, canvas wall art, and framed art that reflect the recognizable character of his artwork.

The studio remains focused on producing artwork that conveys warmth, familiarity, and a sense of place. Through limited edition paintings and other wall art formats, the goal is to uphold Thomas Kinkade’s belief that art should be accessible while maintaining the craftsmanship and thoughtful detail that collectors expect.
