The Disney exhibition at ACMI is full of beautiful and historic pieces of art. But the standout may just be a confection made entirely from confectionery. | karlkwin ACMI Disney

Disney: The Magic of AnimationBuilt for the 2012 film, the model of Candy Hollow was created to help the animators visualise the hometown of Vanellope in three dimensions. “One of the artists, Brittney Lee, made this out of real candy, real cookies, real cereal, real chocolates,” says curator Kristen McCormick, who has travelled with the 500 exhibits in the show from their usual home at Disney central in Burbank, California.

It does need the occasional bit of maintenance though, “because every now and then a bit of cereal or cookie will pop off. I travel with a whole kit of spares in bento boxes, and I give it a nice little refresh every time it comes to a new venue.”So far, Candy Hollow has travelled to France, Japan, Singapore and Korea. If there was ever anything in the raw ingredients to trouble Australia’s tough quarantine laws, she adds, “it’s long gone by now”.

Candy Hollow might be sweet music to the ears of kids sick of being told not to play with their food – “come on, Mum, it could end up in a museum” – but there’s plenty of material here for anyone with even the slightest interest in the studio or the artform generally.There are rough character sketches, detailed concept paintings, storyboards and finished scenes from 25 feature films and 15 animated shorts.

In this installation, visitors can step “inside” a scene from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to get a sense of the multiplane layering that creates the illusion of depth in the films of the golden age.The works on display at ACMI come from the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, a facility whose collection of 65 million pieces is primarily intended for internal purposes.
