Betty Boop
During the 1930s, the “Golden Age” of Hollywood, a sexy yet innocent little cartoon lady hit center stage and quickly built a legacy. She was sweet, lyrical, fashionable, and flirtatious and audiences adored her. Our “Betty Boop Sunday Drive Limoges Box” and “Betty Boop in Evening Gown with Pudgy Limoges Box” capture the spirited essence of this silver screen diva.
King Kong
Since his first “ape”-earance on the big screen in 1933, there have been many adaptations of this character’s classic tale through the years, and they always seem to please. The plot adheres to a classic formula: All seems well until a daunting villain causes distress for many (but especially a certain damsel), and a daring redemptive intervention ensues. With such impressive animatronics, this gorilla star became a permanent attraction, viewable to this day, on the Universal Studios lot. Although he is larger than life, Limoges artists have managed to create a fantastic miniature version of this giant in his famous metropolitan pose, with the “Empire State Building at Night with King Kong Limoges Box”.
The Wizard of Oz
Who doesn’t love this story about a young girl’s exciting journey home and the unforgettable friends she meets along the way? There are so many characters in this film that make it a mesmerizing experience from start to finish -- everyone from Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West to the Wizard and the Munchkins. The only other thing that made this Hollywood movie even more magical to watch, when it was released in 1939, was that it was shot in Technicolor, making all of the iconic items (i.e. ruby slippers) and settings (i.e. The Emerald City) powerfully optimized and an extra treat for the eyes. And if there is one thing that Limoges artist’s love, it’s COLOR. The beautiful crimson and gold of our “Dorothy’s Red Shoes on the Yellow Brick Road” Limoges box will bring some of this fabulous technicolor into your home this season.
Singing in the Rain
The title of this film alone makes you happy! It is a perfect feel good movie full of beautiful actors and actresses and catchy tunes. Full of singing and dancing, this movie will have you chuckling and toe-tapping all the way through. The unforgettable scene where a love-drunk Gene Kelly dances through the city streets in the pouring rain without a care is the sweetest and purest moment of the whole film. What a glorious feeling this “Singin’ in the Rain Limoges Box” gives us; we can only wish that being caught in such a downpour could feel this gratifying … especially when wearing a suit!
Beauty and the Beast
Produced at Disney’s Hollywood animation studio, Beauty and the Beast is a phenomenal fairy tale adaptation with lovable, quintessential Disney characters. Cogsworth, Lumière, Mrs. Potts, Chip … these warm and affable personalities quickly melt away the gloom and eeriness of the initially intimidating castle of the Beast. Almost as soon as you think of this movie you can hear Angela Lansbury’s lovely voice in your head singing the title song we all know well. This song plays as Belle and “The Beast” are dancing in the castle and the other castle characters are taking in the wondrous event that they have been hoping for for so long. LimogesCollector captures this wonderful moment with the “Beauty and the Beast Storybook with Chip Limoges Box,” including a miniature porcelain “Chip” figurine inside of the piece, where a detailed painting of the famous wilting rose is also displayed.
Forrest Gump
It is a special thing when a prop is used for a movie scene and is forever after associated with that film. Our “Forrest Gump Park Bench, Suitcase, Box of Chocolates” simply communicates our love for this treasured motion picture and the appreciation of a simple man’s succinct and unforgettable line of wisdom. The original park bench still exists in the filming location of Savannah, Georgia, where movie-lovers can visit, and also stop by the actual diner where “Jenny” worked.
Star Wars
The force is with us in our “Star Wars Princess Amidala Limoges Box.” The Queen of Naboo is indeed a special acquisition for lovers of this cult classic movie series. This trinket box celebrates the return of the franchise to Hollywood after a 16 year gap between films, as well as a noteworthy performance by actress Natalie Portman.
Titanic
Writer and producer, James Cameron, created a blockbuster movie around fictional characters aboard a real-life vessel during a historically monumental event in 1912. It is one of the highest grossing movies of all time and one that revived interest in exploration of this epochal sunken vessel. Just as the 1997 movie gave us a remarkable insiders look at all the glorious wonders aboard and retells the tale through to the woeful end, masterful porcelain artists have created the impressive ship “The Majestic Unsinkable Titanic Limoges Box” to showcase the luxurious ocean liner in all its glory and the “Sinking Titanic with Lifeboats Limoges Box” to display the fateful demise of the sea craft.
