The Walt Disney Classics Society made its debut in 1992 with three scenes, Bambi, Cinderella and Fantasia. The first year membership piece was Jiminy Cricket.
Each Walt Disney Classics Collection sculpture bears a backstamp with Walt Disney's signature and production year mark. The marks symbolize major milestones in Disney history.
For
the first production year 1992, the Walt Disney Classics Collection
featured a steamboat wheel mark. The wheel honors Mickey Mouse's
debut in Steamboat Willie (1928). This first mark is the most
desired by collectors.
The
1993 production mark is a treble clef. The clef symbolizes the
music in the Academy Award winning Silly Symphonies.
The
1994 mark is a dancing flower. The flower represents Disney's
Flowers and Trees (1932).
The
1995 mark is a trowel. The trowel was used by Practical Pig in
the Academy Award winning 1933 cartoon, Three Little Pigs.
The
1996 mark is a sailor's hat. The hat represents Donald Duck's
on-screen debut in The Wise Little Hen (1934).
The
1997 mark is a music stand. The stand represents Mickey Mouse's
first color cartoon The Band Concert (1935).
The
1998 mark is the pickax from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).
The Dwarfs' diamond mining tool helps celebrate the Diamond (75th)
Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company.
The
1999 mark is the Sorcerer's hat from Fantasia (1940), which gave
Mickey Mouse his most famous role as the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
The
2000 mark is Dumbo's magic feather (1941), which message is to
believe in yourself and in your dreams.
The 2001 mark is a delicate symbol, butterfly from Bambi (1942), that fluttered onto young Bambi's tail
