With its latest edition, Montblanc celebrates the cultural legacy of Walt Disney, the American filmmaker, entrepreneur and innovator who pioneered motion picture technologies in sound, colour and animation to bring to life his many unforgettable characters on screen, including the beloved Mickey Mouse. Disney delighted audiences at home and in movie theatres with his animated shorts and live-action feature films. With the opening of Disneyland in 1955, he invited visitors from around the world to experience his imagination inside a spectacular theme park – a first of its kind.
From his humble beginnings as a cartoon artist, Walt Disney became one of the most memorable filmmakers in the history of entertainment, and went on to be honored with a record-breaking 32 Academy Awards.
The Montblanc Great Characters Walt Disney Limited Edition 1901 is limited to 1901 pieces which refers to the year of Walt Disney’s birth. The groundbreaking multiplane camera invented by Disney is decipted on the cap in lacquer inlays with platinum-coated parts. On the barrel you will see an Mickey Mouse design with a flickering scanimation effect when rotated. Mickey Mouse appeared in Walt Disney’s first film “Steamboat Willie” in 1928. This film, which is also famous for its use of synchronised sound, inspired the smokestack shape of the platinum-coated clip. The fountain pen has a rhoidum-coated nib, made of Au750 solid gold. The nib is decorated with an engraving if the inconic Mickey Mouse.
