Gift of Beauty

This series were Christmas-themed releases from the Walt Disney Classics Collection that emphasized our favorite Princesses at Holiday. It made it's debut in July of 2003 and these releases primarily would be 'interpretative' as opposed to 'true to the moment' sculptures.
The Holiday Princess Series was retired in December of 2006. Not a favorite of the hardcore Walt Disney Classics Collection collectors, it did very well in the theme parks and many were surprised the series ended in 2006 before the series included Ariel and Jasmine.
The colors for Aurora's gown were inspired by a 1957 Golden Book of Sleeping Beauty. During a signing event in 2004, Kent said this was one of his favorite sculptures that he sculpted.
