A special exhibition is being held in Seoul that shows the almost century-long history of Disney characters, right from the classic Mickey Mouse cartoons to more recent works like Frozen.
Lee Min-sun tells us more.
Mickey Mouse awaits fans and visitors at this special Disney exhibition in Seoul. Some original clips of 'Steamboat Willie', the cartoon from 1928 that gave birth to the world-famous mouse, are also on display.
Characters and works created by the Disney studio are being shown at Seoul's Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
The exhibition shows some 500 art pieces including original drawings and concept art that hasn't been seen by the public before.
Visitors can take a look at how the characters in the drawings were brought to life and the efforts of the Disney creators to bring the animations closer to reality.
"I hope the Korean viewers of the exhibition really feel connected to the stories because animation is really a universal art form. And the stories Disney has told really has crossed all generations."
This year is an especially big year for Disney fans as some Disney classics including the Lion King are being made into live-action films.
And some of the art work provides hints of what could happen in the highly anticipated animation 'Frozen 2' scheduled to be released at the end of this year.
The special exhibition will run through August 18, giving visitors the chance to look back at their personal memories with the well-loved Disney characters.
