Review: Disney Store Beauty and the Beast Legacy Hanging Ornament

I was shocked to see that the original Beauty and the Beast animated film is 30 years old this year. I remember going to see it at the Cinema when it was released and loving Chip and Mrs Potts. Naturally Disney have released a 30 year celebration legacy sketchbook hanging pin celebration of this milestone and I was lucky enough to purchase one (they sold out quickly and have only come back in stock once).

The Beauty and the Beast Legacy Hanging Ornament costs £20 and can be purchased from the ShopDisney websites. The ornament features Belle and the Beast dancing within a glass globe/ dome/bell jar. The glass jar isn’t removable and has a rose engraved on it. I wish the glass was plastic as it will be very easy to smash it if it knocks against another ornament or if it is dropped. The ornament can be either free standing (which I prefer) or hing from the red ribbon which also has a 30 year medallion suspended from it.  The figures are a sculpted design with painted details. The ornament measures 11x7x7cm and is made from glass and resin. The little hearts surrounding the base are a lovely touch and show a great attention to detail. The ornament is part of the Sketchbook Legacy Film Anniversary Collection.  looking at my photos of the ornament I noticed that the Beast’s hand brown paint had sploged a tiny bit on to Belle’s dress, but it doesn’t spoil the overall aesthetic of the piece. 

I love this hanging ornament: Belle’s dress is so vibrant and detailed whilst the Beast’s tortured yet besotted expression has been captured perfectly. The ornament came packaged in styrofoam and a cardboard box so hopefully Disney has fixed the shipping issues which resulted in lots of damaged ornaments last year.

Review: Disney Store Lock, Shock and Barrel Hanging Ornament

I’m not really a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, I prefer my Disney merchandise to be cute and cuddly! I purchased the Lock, Stock and Barrel Hanging Ornament to use as one of my Christmas ornament prizes, so here are my thoughts on it.

The ornament is beautifully made and very detailed. It can be hung up or displayed as a free standing piece. At £15 it is now one of the cheaper hanging ornaments so if you are looking for a reasonably priced gift this may fit your budget. It measures 13x8x8cm so it would look great sat on the mantel piece or windowsill all the year round. It is made from resin so it is slightly more substantial than the glass ornaments although the hat or tail could get broken if it gets knocked or dropped.

The Nightmare Before Christmas ornaments aren’t for me, I prefer the musical ones, the aristocats etc. I do see why this film has a cult following and this ornament would make a great gift for anyone who collects this merchandise.

Review: Disneyland Paris Lady and the Tramp Glass Globe Hanging Ornament

 I love the animal themed Disney/ Sketchbook hanging ornaments and this one has certainly caught Lady and the Tramp’s expressions as the eat spaghetti gazing into each other’s eyes! The ornament measures 10x8x8cm and has a base so can be placed on a shelf or hung from the loop. It is a DLP exclusive.

Review: Disneyland Paris Nala and Simba Globe Hanging Ornament

I purchased the Nala and Simba Hanging Ornament (£12.99) when I visited Disneyland Paris two years ago (I bought this one to use as a prize via ShopDisney UK). The only change is the swing tag which is now the new version. Simba is patting a blue bug whilst Nala looks on. They are encased in a semi globe which has a flat base so it can either be free standing or hung from the chiffon hanging loop. It measures 10x9cm.

Review: Disneyland Paris 101 Dalmations Glass Globe Hanging Ornament

 

The Disneyland Paris 101 Dalmations Glass Globe Ornament (£12.99) is one of my favourite ornaments of all time. The ornament features Patch and Lucky sitting in front of and on a tv.  I love that the tv shows a very majestic German Shepard dog and Licky has the remote in his mouth! The tv is glittery. The ornament can be free standing or hung up. The ornament measures 10x8x8cm and the globe is fragile as it is glass. I wish the globe was made from a clear resin or plastic base as one hard knock and it is smashed. I do like that Disneyland Paris exclusive is stamped on the base of the ornament. The swing/ gift tag is the new style Studio themed card.

Review: Disneyland Paris The Three Bears from Brave Hanging Ornament

 

 I saw the Triplet Bears from Brave Hanging Ornament when I visited Disneyland Paris 2 years ago for my mum’s 80th birthday.  I loved the contrast of the bears and their gorgeous and eye catching blue eyes.  The ornament measures 6x5x5cm and features Hamish, Harris and Hubert,  The tree stump is glittery and the hanging loop is jute so fits the woodland theme. The swing tag is in the old style  which I actually prefer as it looks not like a gift tag Than the new version.

Review: Disney Store Cinderella Hanging Ornament

 

The Disney Store Cinderella Hanging Ornament is £13. Made from resin, with the silver tone 2020 charm, the ornament measures 8.5x7x10cm.  Cinderella sits beside her iconic glass slipper. This hanging ornament can be either free standing or hung from the chiffon hanging loop. I do prefer the animal themed hanging ornaments but I do appreciate the detail that has gone on to this ornament. The Cinderella book that provides her background is amazing and overall the ornament looks as though it cost more than £13. 

Review: Disneystore Chip’n’Dale Festive Hanging Ornament

 Chip n Dale aren’t my favourite Disney characters but they are cute and do look appealing in all their Disney merchandise. This festive hanging ornament is £13. 

 The cheeky chipmunks are peeking out of an acorn which also has their names on the back. The ornament measures 8x6x6cm, has a silver tone 2020 charm and a chiffon hanging loop.

Review: Disney Store Winnie The Pooh Hanging Ornament

 

From one of the newer Disney characters to one of the classic and instantly recognisable- Winnie the Pooh. In this ornament he is dangling from a balloon which he is holding.  This can’t be a free standing ornament unless you cut through the string and just have Winnie sat with a bumble bee on his nose. The ornament measures 11x4x4.5 cm. the shiny blue balloon and Winnie are made from resin and the balloon is attached with string. The 2020/Disney silver tone charm is attached to the hanging loop.

Review: Disney Store Elsa & Nokk Hanging Ornament Frozen 2

 I am probably one of the few Disney fans who hasn’t seen either Frozen or Frozen 2, it just leaves me cold for some reason. I bought this ornament just for my Christmas competition - I give hanging ornaments away from now weekly then hourly during the Christmas period. All the ornaments will be given away but I bought some just for me and this just didn’t make the cut - I don’t like the theme and it just seems plasticky. The concept is nice. Elsa is stood on a snowflake with her horse, Nokk. The ornament measures 10x9x8cm and looks very blue and icy. I am sure any Frozen fan would love it.

Review: Disney Store Pascal Light Up Hanging Ornament

 I do like a light up hanging ornament. They bring warm to a room and look so festive. My favourite film is Tangled and I love Pascal so I was pleased to see he was included in this year’s collection. 

The ornament(£15) measures 9x3.5x5cm and the lantern lights up. There is a Disney/2020 silver tone charm on the hanging loop. The lantern is so bright when turned on. I love that Pascal is so detailed and that his tail curls just the way it does in the film.  Batteries are included with the ornament and it is quite easy to turn on and off.

Review: The Aristocats Legacy Hanging Ornament

This Aristocats/ Aristokittens £13)  Hanging Ornament celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release of the Aristocats movie. The ornament features Marie, Berlioz sand Toulouse. It is part of the Legacy Film Anniversary Collection and has a 50th gold tone medallion hanging from the loop. The ornament can be either hung or left free standing.

       

 As I have a large collection of Aristocat/Disney cat hanging ornaments it will live free standing on a shelf.  It is nice to see other cats rather than just Marie featured in an ornament but Toulouse’s eyes are the wrong colour and his face should be round like the other two aristokittens! Other than those two minor details it is a gorgeous ornament.

Review: Disney Store Dumbo Hanging Ornament

 

The Disney Store Sketchbook Dumbo  Hanging Ornament (13) is adorable and he looks so happy flying along in the clouds!  Made from resin he is so detailed. The one down side is that he cannot be free standing as some of the other ornaments can. The hanging loop has the 2020 silver tone charm and the ornament measures 31/2”. I love that the clouds change tone when in the sunlight!

Review: Disney Store Hanging Ornament- Belle

 The  Belle Hanging Ornament (£13) is part of the Sketchbook/ Disney Store range. She matches Rapunzel with a yellow sparkly skirt and stands under an arch. She could be hung as an ornament or stood up on a flat surface - I keep a lot of my ornaments on display all the year round stood on a shelf. The ornament measures 10x4.5x8cm and is made from resin. There is a little silver tone 2020 charm on the hanging loop which has a castle - the same as Rapunzel on the other side.

He is made out of resin and measures 10x7x5 cm and wears a painted scarf and hat. There is a tiny silver tone charm attached to the hanging ribbon which is dated 2020 on one side and Disney on the other. Remember he is not a toy and not suitable for children under 36 months.

The Disney Store Aurora Hanging Ornament  (£13) is part of the Disney Sketchbook Ornament Series.  Dressed in a pink glittery gown with roses embossed on the skirt, white stole and pink shoes there is also a silver Disney 2019 tag attached to the pink hanging loop so if you collect Disney ornaments you know when she was purchased.  Aurora measures 13x2.5x2.5cm and is made from resin and satin. Her face and outfit are very detailed and as she doesn’t look particularly Christmassy she could be left out all year round.

Aurora can be purchased from the online Disney Store or their stores.

Lion King Hanging Ornament and #competition

The Lion King Hanging Ornament (£13) was made for the 25th anniversary of the film. Part of the Legacy Film Anniversary Collection.  It is a beautifully crafted Christmas ornament. Simba is on one side, Zazu on the other. The ornament measures 8x10x3.5cm and hangs from a piece of red ribbon. It is made from resin.  The only issue I have is Simba’s face is overly scary!!!
