Animators that were in charge of imagining the castles and buildings in the cartoons that arose in recent years,  for inspiration and creation of the buildings of the dreams often took  hundreds years old structures. Many of those buildings that inspired the animators are popular destinations for tourists who recognize the “coping” of reality into the films of Disney. Take a look at some of those Disney castles:

Frozen Place of Elsa in the famous cartoon “Frozen” is inspired by the building “Hotel de Glace” which is constructed every year from frozen cubes in Quebec City. This is one of the most interesting Disney castles. The hotel runs from January to March each year, and during the 2014 the hosts offered its guests a special “Frozen” theme where guests could live one day in the incredible kingdom of Arendele.
