Musical Memories was the name given to a series of collectable musical figurines that celebrated the Disney animated features. It was a limited edition collection released by mail-order in 1986. Each figurine was limited to 19,750. The figurines were chronologically mailed from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film) to Oliver & Company

Snow White, Pinocchio and Fantasia

Each figurine displayed an array of Disney characters from each film. Some depicted a certain scene while others were strictly abstract. Each figurine had a moving figure that was attached via a screw (or just loosely "sitting" on the moving musical movement).
