Disney’s Mickey and Minnie’s Campsite Tales

Disney’s Mickey and Minnie’s Campsite Tales pays homage to the tradition of camping with your family. Growing up, I enjoyed spending time with my family in the great outdoors, knowing an adventure was right around the corner. From hiking, to boating, to fishing, our days were spent in nature building core memories.

In many ways, the true adventure for my family was, less tied to the out-of-doors, but the curveballs thrown our way from the result of being ill-prepared. Forgotten food, puddle-soaked sleeping bags, and the rumbles in the night from creatures covered by the darkness.

In this painting, I’ve captured my family’s experience through Mickey’s and Minnie’s friends. Goofy is spotted fishing in a way only Goofy could, while some “bearly” visits of forest residents make an appearance. A nearby mountain lodge symbolizes comfort as the crew settles in for the night. As Donald and his nephews’ row to meet Daisy on shore, Mickey, Minnie, and his nephews begin the long-standing tradition of telling campfire stories while roasting marshmallows by a perfectly lit fire. However your family camping trips unfolded, I hope you can see yourself alongside Mickey and Friends. As always, thank you for sharing my adventures in art.
