メアリー・ブレアの「シンデレラ」です。

メアリー・ブレアは20世紀のアニメーション史において彼女ほど鮮やかな足跡を残したアーティストは少ないかもしれません。
彼女の独特な色彩感覚と創造力は、ディズニーのアニメーション映画に新たな命を吹き込み、今なお多くの人々に愛され続けています。
1940年代初頭、夫と共にメキシコを訪れ、この旅が彼女の色彩感覚に大きな影響を与えたと言われています。
メキシコの鮮やかな色彩、民俗芸術、そして豊かな文化は、彼女の作品に深く刻み込まれた。彼女はこの影響を自身のアニメーション作品に取り入れ、現実世界の豊かな色彩をアニメーションの中で再現しました。

ブレアはまた、当時の現代美術や抽象表現主義からも多くの影響を受け、色彩の大胆な使用やシンプルな形状を特徴とするスタイルは、彼女の作品において顕著です。伝統的なアニメーションの枠を超え、視覚的に革新的で感情豊かな表現を可能にしました

ディズニー作品の多くで色彩デザインを担当することとなり『シンデレラ』（1950年）、『ピーター・パン』（1953年）、『アリス・イン・ワンダーランド』（1951年）など、彼女が手がけた作品は、その鮮やかな色彩と独特のビジュアルスタイルで多くの観客を魅了しました。
