"The curse on Max and his brother" Once upon a time, in a small village tucked away in the mountains, there lived two brothers named Max and Alex. They were known throughout the village for their mischievous and volatile nature. The villagers often whispered about a curse that had been placed on the brothers, causing their unpredictable behavior. Legend had it that their great-grandfather, a powerful sorcerer, had trespassed into the sacred realm of the Forest Guardians. As punishment, the Guardians placed a curse upon him and his bloodline, ensuring that they would forever be plagued by turmoil and uncertainty. Max and Alex grew up hearing these stories, never fully believing in the curse until strange events started occurring.

This moment is inspired by the times when Walt would take his two daughters to similar attractions — Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round in Los Angeles — and thought about an “amusement enterprise” idea where children and their parents could have fun together. While this moment would have occurred earlier in Walt’s life, the statue shows an older Walt reflecting on what he has built and his excitement of the possibilities that are yet to come.

Coming to EPCOT in December at Dreamers Point in the World Celebration neighborhood, Walt the Dreamer shows Walt as he appeared later in his life in his sixties. This statue subsequently debuted elsewhere, including at Magic Kingdom Park June 1995 , Tokyo Disneyland April 1998 , Legends Plaza at the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank December 2001 and Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris when that park opened July 2002.

Max and Alex grew up hearing these stories, never fully believing in the curse until strange events started occurring. Their lives quickly spiraled out of control. They would be blamed for accidents and disasters that they had no hand in causing.

Artist Notes

Discovering figure drawing as an artist was and continues to be the center of what I consider “folk art.” I define folk art as People interacting with the environment around them. Disney took figure drawing to an amazingly different level. The brilliance of exploring the possibilities of animals with human features and characteristics interacting and communicating with their surroundings is enchanting to me.

Mickey and friends in Paris is where I imagine this exploration coming alive. With the inspiration of some of the world’s greatest galleries, I love the idea of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck playing the part of both artist and model. Paris inspires even the simplest of
artists to try their hand at a sketch or two… or maybe even some “figure” drawing.

Key Points

•In the distance is France’s most recognizable and romantic landmark the Eiffel Tower.
•Mickey is becoming quite the accomplished painter, his portrait of Donald is almost life-like.
•The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris shines bright as the sun sets. Most people don’t know it is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
•Windmill on the Moulin Rouge is perfectly tucked away in this work of art, can you spot it?

Eventually, their own actions seemed to reflect this chaos, as if they were possessed by an unseen force. Their relationships suffered, as friends and family distanced themselves, fearing the unpredictable outcomes that Max and Alex seemed to bring. Even jobs seemed to slip through their fingers, as if luck was constantly against them. Max and Alex desperately searched for a way to break the curse that had plagued their lives. They spent years studying ancient books of magic and seeking the guidance of wise elders and holy men. With each failed attempt, their hope dwindled and a sense of despair took hold. One fateful evening, while wandering through the forest that surrounded the village, Max stumbled upon an old shrine hidden beneath a thick canopy of trees. Intrigued, he ventured closer, feeling a strange surge of energy emanating from within the shrine. As he stepped inside, he discovered a mystical artifact, a glowing amulet said to possess the power to break curses. Max knew in his heart that this was his chance to free himself and his brother. With determination in his eyes, he donned the amulet and vowed to rid his family of the curse once and for all. Max returned to the village and shared his discovery with Alex. Together, they embarked on a dangerous journey, facing obstacles and overcoming trials. Through their unwavering bond and sheer determination, they successfully broke the curse that had plagued their lives for generations. As the curse lifted, so did their misfortune. Max and Alex's lives transformed, and they became beloved members of the village once again. They were no longer seen as troublemakers, but as heroes who had defied fate and proven that even the darkest of curses could be broken. Their journey taught them the importance of perseverance, unity, and the power of the human spirit. They became living testimonies that no curse is forever, and that one's destiny is not dictated solely by circumstances but by one's determination to rise above them..
