About Me

"We hope you enjoy this celebration of the characters and settings that live at the heart of our fondest Disney memories."

                   Walt Disney Classics Collection

"I was creating maquette sculptures for the animated films and was asked to work on a new collectible line called the Walt Disney Classics Collection. I had seen various porcelain figurines before and I was very skeptical of what could be done in this medium. However, I decided to see a couple of the initial figurines. When I saw the "Field Mouse" piece in all its detail, I was astonished. I knew right then that I wanted to be an integral part of the project".

Fall 1991

The Walt Disney Classics Collection debuted with teaser ads for retailers in the Fall 1991 trade magazine issue.

The Field Mouse from Bambi was unveiled and excitement mounted. This was the first collection where the Disney Company had produced their own line of Disney figurines.

1992

Scenes from Bambi, Cinderella and Fantasia were presented.

The prototypes were unvieled and the Collection premiered in California. After months of work, the first sculptures were shipped to dealers in October of 1992.

Release Calendar

1993

In January of 1993, The Walt Disney Collectors Society (WDCS) was introduced as a way to offer more to serious WDCC Collectors.

The perks included member-exclusive sculptures, Newsflash newsletter, Sketches magazines, an annual catalogue, cloisonne pins and other goodies.

2012

After more than 20 years, the Walt Disney Classics Collection came to a close.

At the end of 2012, Enesco parted ways with the line. Precious Moments stepped in to take over the role, but following much negative feedback surrounding these new collectibles, the entire series was cancelled.

Now

WDCC pieces remain highly collectible.

With their intricate, hand-painted designs featuring beloved Disney characters, these beautiful sculptures remain highly treasured by collectors, even decades after their original release.

WDCC Caboodles was created out of a love for WDCC, with a desire to preserve its history, share valuable information, and celebrate the magic of these beautiful sculptures with collectors around the world.

Walt Disney Classics Collection

The Walt Disney Classics Collection is the only collection of fine animation scuptures created using the time-honored principles of Disney film animation. As a result, each sculpture captures all the emotion and magic of the unforgettable characters and settings created by Disney.

Signature Marks

Each sculpture bears a backstamp with Walt Disney's signature and an incised or decal production-year mark that sumbolizes a milestone in Disney history.

Choosing the Moment

It was very important to find that specific film moment that defines the essence of each character, capturing the personality that reached beyond any particular scene.

WDCC Caboodles

My WDCC journey began in May 2015 when I started collecting the beautiful sculptures of the Walt Disney Classics Collection. As my collection grew, so did my desire to learn more about these wonderful pieces.

In March 2016, I created a WDCC reference app for the iPhone. I wanted a convenient way to access sculpture information wherever I happened to be, but at the time, there wasn't an app that offered what I was looking for. So, I decided to create one myself!

In October 2017, I joined forces with a fellow Disney collector to establish the WDCC Caboodles Facebook community, bringing together collectors from around the world who shared a passion for the Walt Disney Classics Collection.

As many of the original WDCC reference websites began disappearing, I recognized the importance of preserving that valuable information. I began developing this website as a dedicated resource for collectors, gradually adding sculpture information, photographs, historical records, and other reference materials.

In June 2018, the Caboodle Store opened, offering creative display accessories and scene enhancers. Later that year, in November, the Limited Edition Sculpture Project began, bringing opportunities to collaborate with talented artists and create new pieces inspired by the magic of WDCC.

Over the years, Caboodles became a wonderful community filled with friendships, special events, auctions, creativity, and shared memories. I dedicated countless hours to building and maintaining this website, documenting those activities, and developing an ever-growing WDCC reference library.

In March 2026, after nearly nine years of helping build and support the Facebook community, I made the decision to step away from my administrative role.

Although that chapter has come to an end, this website continues as my personal labour of love. My goal remains the same as it was when I first began — to preserve the history, artistry, and magic of the Walt Disney Classics Collection and share that information with fellow collectors.

The website will continue to grow and evolve, and I hope it remains a valuable resource for WDCC enthusiasts for many years to come!

Website founder and WDCC Collector

I'm a happily retired wife, mom, and Nana with a lifelong love of Disney and just about anything creative!

My WDCC collection has become one of my greatest passions, and I especially love designing elaborate displays that bring these beautiful sculptures and their stories to life. My Disney room is forever changing, and there's always another little bit of magic waiting to be added!

I've always enjoyed working with my hands, whether it's painting, sculpting, resin casting, 3D printing, laser engraving, or embroidery. I love learning new things, experimenting with different techniques, and finding creative ways to turn an idea into something special.

When I'm not busy creating something or rearranging my Disney collection, you'll usually find me enjoying time with my wonderful family and grandchildren.

You can also find me on TikTok, where I share videos of my WDCC collection, magical Disney displays, creative projects, travels, family adventures, and a little bit of everything that makes me happy!

Come along and enjoy a little glimpse into my world!
