The Art Store in DCA, how extensive is their virtual catalog of Disney pictures?

[Foxhound3857]

Last time I went there, the back wall was impressive but it was largely of the oldest or the most popular movies in their library, and the movies that I'd be interesting in buying art for, my favorites, are a bit more obscure. I'm wondering if anybody knows if they'd have a selection of art for these movies:

Zootopia
Raya and the Last Dragon
Bolt
Robin Hood
The Rescuers

The art store in DCA is called Off the Page. Other art stores include Disneyana in Disneyland and Wonderground in DTD. Knick's Knacks (Pixar store across from Lamplight) also has a virtual catalog. Personally, I usually look for work by specific artists rather than characters. The virtual catalog doesn't allow you to sort that way so I get frustrated. The virtual catalog also doesn't have older work by current Disney artists, even if it is sometimes available in the stores.

The back wall in Off the Page normally has a large assortment of framed art. However, lately it is been pretty sparce. So sparce that I was thinking they might have shipped the art to WDW for Festival of the Arts. I'm hoping they bring more art back for Food & Wine.

It's been awhile so I am hoping someone who was there more recently can correct me if I am wrong about any/all of this. Off the Page and Knick's Knacks used to have a massive book that you could flip through and then give the artist the code, who would then create the artwork/color sketch for you. You could also consult with the artist before they started to specify/confirm color and shade. They had an incredibly wide range of characters, even obscure ones I never expected them to have.

So best option is to either consult the book or ask someone if they have any artwork of the specific character I want and then just go over the selection with them?

Wednesday will be the last day of my key so it'd be cool to get something with Bolt or Sisu.

This thread is confusing me a little - just to clarify:

There's the kiosk with pre-existing artwork (posters, etc). It's only available in-store, so you won't know what's available until you poke through it. You'll order it there, and they'll ship it to you.

I think Kit is talking about the in-house artist specifically drawing something for you.

Ah, okay. I'll check the kiosk then, hopefully that have Sisu or Bolt in their catalog somewhere.

This is correct. I remember seeing artwork in racks for sale that you could flip through and if you found something you wanted, you could take it right to the register and pay for it.

There is also often an artist sitting in the room and a giant book nearby. If you select something from the book, you can have the artist create something custom for you. My understanding is that you cannot change/modify the character or the pose but you can specify color/shade. When I picked Robin Hood, the artist showed me the shade of green normally used for Robin Hood, but I selected a slightly brighter shade of green and that was not an issue at all. I picked up the finished product either the end of that day or the next day.

I know I have seen Bolt there before, as it is one of my DD’s favorite movies. I hope you find something special!

I wish they had more Bolt merch in general. We always look for it, but rarely see much of it. It is such an under-rated movie!!

When are you going? I will be there this weekend and can check out what they have.

If I remember correctly, Wonderground sorts art by subject - princesses are together, classic Mickey is together, Pixar is together, etc

Wednesday is the last day before my Key expires, so I'm going then. I was lucky to get it as one of my two days off.

Not sure that we'll hit all three art stores this weekend, but we usually stop in at at least two of the three. If I see any of the characters on your list, I'll let you know.

I went into both Off the Page and Disneyana and didn't see any displayed art from these movies. Both stores had much less art than they normally have.

I did not look through the options on the kiosk. The CM I spoke with said that you can order the kiosk prints either with or without a frame. Both stores have an artist that will custom draw a sketch for you. Below are the prices of the custom drawings. No MK discounts. The price does not include a frame.
