Mary Blair might not be a familiar name to casual Disney fans, but (for those who don't know) she was an immensely talented artist and animator who definitely left her mark on the entire Disney Company.
A famous example of her many notable contributions is the look of It’s A Small World, which was designed in her signature style.
But, Mary also did a lot of work behind-the-scenes, she was the lead concept artist for Disney animated classic films such as Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, and Cinderella.
And in celebration of Cinderella being re-released on Blu-ray, Disney shared some of the beautiful concept art that Mary created for the beloved film.
