Tusker House – All

This is a closeup of the smaller hanging lanterns which are most common in the line for Enchanted Tales with Belle. The glass here is colored and imperfect, which is an important detail when considering the fact that these lights are meant the blend in with an area which should look approximately like 17th or 18th century France.

This light post is probably my favorite design which can be seen in the line. I love the spring shape which holds up the lantern, which is reminiscent of some of the springs in the movie, which Maurice used with his various inventions.

This little light is hidden under the eaves of Belle and Maurice's cottage. Its simple shape is what makes it so pretty. It has the same colored and imperfect glass which most of the outdoor lights are made with, but this fixture has a a heavier looking metal and simpler lines.

Just in front of the doorway into the last section of the line, this little lantern hangs from the eaves. It has a very simple shape. Fun fact, if this light were actually the oil lantern it looks like, that upper disk would likely be polished in order to help direct the light back down to the people below. Alternatively the disk might have been made out of mirrored glass if they had been more wealthy.

The style of this lantern is really very similar to a number of other lanterns throughout the park, but particularly like the ones seen in Frontierland. This black one looking brand new is, no doubt, a reference to the lantern Maurice carried through the woods when he got lost. I'm mostly amused by its placement on the top of a large stack of rocks.

In the last outdoor section of the line, there is a shoulder-high wall. Over that wall is this beautiful little lantern. It's very stylistically similar to the other outdoor lights in the line, but the color of it is so much more vibrant.

Like the title says, this one is a super simple ceiling light, and while it looks simple enough to be found in someone's home, that is sort of the point isn't it? This light casts a lot more lights than any of the others in the living room space, but a central ceiling light is meant to. While this light is particularily simple when compared to many of the lights throughout the Disney parks, it speaks to the amount of thought that goes into every single light in every single space throughout the parks.

This light is pretty much super simple, but the little heart pricked into the metal shade is adorable, and I admit, I've got some hearts in my eyes for this one.

This light is over the desk area in the front left corner, past the fireplace. It was a little hard for me to get this shot because of my location in the room. I find the tilt of the shade interesting, because whether it was meant that way or not, it looks like someone had adjusted the shade to get the light to cast downwards over their work.

The last section of the line is in Belle and Maurice's living room. This room has a number of small lights against the walls which cast little real light, but look very nice as the light filters through small holes in the metal. This little lantern is close to the door on the lefthand side.

I think this was my favorite of the lights in Maurice's Workshop. But I'll be the first to admit that steam punk gears are one of my favorite things as far as aesthetics. So I suppose it was inevitable that the huge wooden gear turned into a light hanging from the ceiling as a chandelier would be my favorite.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I saw this light it made me think of Da Vinci and all his sketches. The circular shape and the general air of the workshop had me thinking of the Vitruvian Man

This light looks like it was made from an old barrel or bucket, so it seems that Maurice takes what he can when it comes to lighting for his workshop.

Inside Maurice's workshop is a huge variety of lights and lanterns. this one is fairly simple compared to some of the others.

I love the wrought iron look of the details of these chandeliers, and I couldn't resist taking extra shots. I also like the ceiling medallion that the chandelier comes down from for that matter.

In the center room, where they hand out parts for the library, there are two semi-simple black chandeliers. They're appealing, to me at least, because of the details which make up the ring of the chandelier.

The largest light in library, where you meet Belle, is this chandelier. It's relatively simple as far as huge chandeliers go, but it works really well for the space. I like it because the little scrolls on each of the arms are so small and understated, but they still make the shape of the chandelier more full, which makes it look more expensive. But besides all that, it just looks like the right chandelier to be in Belle's library in Beast's castle, doesn't it?

This light can be found on the way out of Enchanted Tales with Belle, before leaving the building. I love the way the metal is formed around the glass for this one.

This lantern is the same shape as the one mounted on the walls of the line, but in this case the lantern is hanging on a wooden frame. The unity created by using the same design is really nice, especially as this is only one style of hanging lantern in the outdoor part of the line.

I've only done Enchanted Tales with Belle once, and while waiting in line I noted first these lanterns on top of the walls of the line. I love the way the lantern itself reflects the shape of a house with the upper gables, while also having a little flair like you might expect in a castle (like the Beast's castle maybe?), with the scroll shapes on the bottom and the diamonds across the lit area.
