Steamboat Willie, released in 1928, is where some might say it all began. The timeless short film introduced audiences to the lovable character that would become the face of joy and innocence. Our latest parasol pays homage to this significant moment in animation history. It features meticulously hand-painted artwork that honors the charm and nostalgia of the cartoon. So, join Rubio Arts as we set sail with Steamboat Willie—the inspiration behind our latest parasol design!

This parasol is our latest masterpiece, crafted by our talented parasol artist, Virginia. With a keen eye for detail, as well as a deep appreciation for Steamboat Willie, Virginia has thoughtfully designed her parasol to reflect the vintage feel of the original animation. Moreover, her unyielding dedication and skill ensure that every parasol she creates is a unique work of art.

Virginia painted the monochromatic design on a classic white parasol, reminiscent of the black-and-white era of early cartoons. Though, you can create your own design on any parasol color you choose. You may also include your name or other personalized word on your parasol at no additional cost. For those who want to take their customization further, our artists can add up to 8 pieces of artwork, ensuring your parasol is uniquely yours.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, however, this parasol is also practical. It is fully customizable, waterproof, and offers excellent protection from the sun. Whether you’re strolling through the parks, enjoying a day at the beach, or simply looking for a unique way to accessorize, our parasols have you covered.

Steamboat Willie represents the start of a legacy, and our design is a celebration of that legacy. It’s a perfect blend of history, art, and functionality, making it a must-have for any animation enthusiast. Our talented parasol artists, like Virginia, are available daily in Liberty Square at Magic Kingdom. Come by and watch them bring your custom parasol dreams to life!
