Cinderella & Prince Charming | Disney Traditions by Jim Shore
Overview
Released in 2024, A Fairytale Love captures one of Disney's most iconic couples at the moment their happily-ever-after truly begins. Rather than recreating the famous ballroom dance, Jim Shore chose a gentler scene, with Cinderella and Prince Charming walking hand in hand, smiling at one another after the events of the film.
The result is a wonderfully elegant figurine that celebrates not just Disney royalty, but enduring love. Created as part of Disney's 75th Anniversary celebrations for Cinderella, it has quickly become one of the standout romantic pieces within the Disney Traditions collection.

Story Behind the Piece
When Walt Disney released Cinderella in 1950, few could have predicted just how important the film would become—not only for Disney animation but for the company itself.
Following the financial difficulties of the 1940s, Cinderella became a huge commercial success and effectively rescued Walt Disney Studios. The profits from the film helped fund future classics including Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Sleeping Beauty.
To celebrate the film's 75th Anniversary, Enesco introduced several commemorative figurines, with A Fairytale Love becoming the flagship Disney Traditions release.
Rather than depicting a dramatic scene, Jim Shore focused on the quiet happiness that follows the story's conclusion—two characters simply enjoying their first moments together as husband and wife.
Design & Sculpting
One of the first things collectors notice is the balance of the sculpture.
Prince Charming stands slightly behind Cinderella, naturally guiding the viewer's eye towards her iconic blue ball gown while still feeling like an equal part of the composition.
Jim Shore's unmistakable folk-art influence can be seen throughout:
- quilt-inspired patterns
- scrolling flourishes
- rosemaling decoration
- carved textures
- delicate cross motifs scattered across Cinderella's gown
Unlike many Disney Traditions figures, this piece relies less on bold colour and more on elegant sculpting. Soft blues, creams and golds give it a sophisticated appearance that works beautifully in both Disney collections and more traditional home décor.
Cinderella's Dress
The dress is based on Cinderella's famous transformation gown from the animated film.
Jim Shore has softened the bright blue typically associated with Cinderella into a more muted powder blue, allowing the intricate detailing to become the focus rather than the colour itself.
The flowing folds around the skirt create a real sense of movement despite the figures standing still, while the cream underskirt provides excellent depth.
Prince Charming
Prince Charming often receives less attention in Disney figurines than the princesses themselves, making this sculpture particularly refreshing.
His white ceremonial uniform features:
- ornate gold scrollwork
- detailed shoulder epaulettes
- sculpted cuffs
- braided sash
- elegant facial sculpt
Rather than simply standing beside Cinderella, his pose conveys warmth and admiration, helping the figurine feel genuinely romantic rather than formal.
The Base
The decorative square base continues Jim Shore's traditional styling.
Subtle floral artwork wraps around the edges, while the raised platform gives the couple prominence without becoming distracting.
The neutral colouring also allows the figurine to blend seamlessly alongside both Disney Traditions and Disney Showcase pieces.
Display Appeal
This is a surprisingly versatile display piece.
It works beautifully:
- as a centrepiece in a Cinderella collection
- alongside Disney Showcase Cinderella figurines
- within a Disney couples display
- in a princess collection
- as part of a wedding or anniversary display
Its relatively compact footprint also means it fits comfortably on standard display shelves.
Collectability
Although still available from retailers, collectors have responded very positively to this release.
Several factors contribute to its popularity:
- celebrates Disney's most famous princess
- features both Cinderella and Prince Charming
- commemorates the film's 75th Anniversary
- elegant colour palette
- appeals to both Disney Traditions and Cinderella collectors
Because it remains in production, prices have remained fairly stable. However, anniversary pieces often see renewed interest after retirement.
Current Market Value (Summer 2026)
| Condition | Estimated Value |
|---|---|
| Mint with box | £80–110 |
| Excellent unboxed | £70–80 |
| New/Sealed | £90–120 |
As with all Disney Traditions pieces, retirement by Enesco is likely to have the biggest influence on future values.
What to Check Before Buying
Collectors should inspect:
✓ Cinderella's raised hand and fingers
✓ Prince Charming's epaulettes
✓ Cinderella's bun and headband
✓ The delicate scrollwork around the dress
✓ Corners of the base
These are the areas most susceptible to knocks during shipping.
