Camera manufacturer Leica has developed a new special edition of the Q2 camera to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary.
Walt Disney is said to have used Leica cameras from the very beginning when animating the first animated films. In addition to the camera, a specially designed strap, a matching bag, and a certificate of authenticity are included.
The camera will be produced in 500 units and will be available globally at the end of April. The price is currently unknown.
Just one look at the Leica Q2 | Disney “100 Years of Wonder” reveals the collaboration between the two traditional companies. The cover of the special edition shows Mickey Mouse, Disney’s best-known character and one of the world’s most famous personalities. The drawings from 1937 were penned by Don Towsley, one of Disney’s most renowned animators. From around this time, Disney also used Leica cameras and projectors to bring storyboard animations to life.
