A few days ago, LEGO has pulled the veil off from one of this year’s most anticipated set, the LEGO Disney Castle 71040. Standing tall at over 29 inches, and being one of the tallest sets that LEGO has ever made, LEGO’s top designers now gives us a closer look at this 4,080-piece set with all its references to well-loved, Disney movies and some surprising, never-before-seen elements. Watch LEGO Designer Marcos Bessa as he is magically transported from Walt Disneyworld and then back to LEGO HQ for a firsthand look at the actual set of the LEGO Disney Castle 71040.

The LEGO Disney Castle  71040 pays tribute to the most loved Walt Disney animated films of all time like Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Fantasia, Rapunzel, Alladin and so much more. As it seems, the magic doesn’t end there, with a surprise element tucked under one of the tower’s spires – a special printed, fairy tale book that features the original, ‘Once upon a time’ Disney tagline as presented by Bessa.
