(Pronounced: ma-�ket) � Three-dimensional character models � Used by animators as a way to study crucial angles, reveal the play of light and shadow, and clarify issues of perspective. � Pinocchio was the first Disney full-length film to use maquettes. Why does the surface texture look different on the vintage maquettes compared to those from modern films? � The earliest maquettes were sculpted by hand out of clay and were cast as a limited number of plaster models. � These original plaster maquettes were digitally scanned by Disney Imagineering to create the production molds for the Walt Disney Archives Collection of reproduction maquettes. Why does the paint coloration on Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio and the Elephant from Fantasia look different than other products from these films? � We hand-matched the colors to the vintage maquettes using the Disney paint palette to make this collection look like those originals would have looked when initially created. � There are 3,800 paint colors in the Disney paint palette. Those initial paints used for Disney films by the Inking and Painting Department were created by chemists on the Disney Studio lot. Many of the paints from those early films were ground from natural pigments and refined until they were the consistency of a velvety smooth cream.
