One of the best build experiences
To some, you just slap a few bricks together and you have a LEGO set, same experience, blah blah blah. The techniques this build uses are completely different and stray a bit from the normal path of a LEGO build. It has technical elements that make the repetitiveness disappear for the tripod build and keeps you interested. The figures included are very nice and detailed and make a fine addition to your collection and the pane glass combiner element is just crazy cool and is exactly how they used to make the old cartoons. This build is amazing looking and with some simple modifications can even be setup to look like a focal art piece.

Great Display Piece!
First and foremost, I’m a filmmaker so this really feels like the perfect LEGO set for me.
It took me approx 2hrs to build, so a relatively easy assembly - but with some slightly challenging technic pieces to assemble the head of the tripod.
The attention to detail with the camera is amazing, and I especially love the intentional sound effect of the film rolling when turning the crank.
However, I do feel the build is slightly wobbly - especially with so much interactivity on the camera. A slight step near it will make the camera wobble on the tripod - despite it being secured in with lots of connectors.
I think the price point of this does let it down a fair bit - despite it being a beautiful set, it is smaller, with fewer pieces than other models of a similar price.
That being said, it’s a great build for any Disney fan, and filmmakers (especially as the “1” from the “100” of the film reels can easily be removed to resemble a normal film camera).

Incredible details!
This set was my favourite build so far and I knew it would become my favourite set I own after only the first bag. The film clapper and the lenses are an incredible extra level of detail and they don’t even make up the main part of the set! The set over all is really fun and satisfying to build and there are lots of moving parts. The film reel makes this such a special piece and is really nostalgic. Highly recommend this set to anyone! Great value for money and looks amazing in my collection

Quite good
It's a nice-looking set, especially if you have something to do with film production, it's a nice addition to the shelf next to the Oscar 😆 However, I have to give it a lower rating because I think the price is definitely too high for what we get, the set is small and it can be built extremely quickly. A little advice if you want the film strip to look better, you can try to hook it to one of the elements on the tripod, then the tape will be better exposed and will not hang like that.

Walt Disney tribute camera
Loved building this, Disney characters are so cute and camera looks fab. I wish Lego would do more of the black and white Disney Lego, I also have steamboat Willie, which I love. Great value for money.

Fun build and cool features!
The set retails for $99.99, comes with 811 pieces, and stands at an impressive 14.5 inches tall. Included in the set is a film reel which features scenes from some of Disney Animations most iconic films spanning from Steamboat Willie to Encanto Another great feature is the five unique minifigs, most notably and exclusive to this set are Bambi, Dumbo, and Walt Disney himself.
Another couples great features of this set are how when you crank the camera, you hear the classic sound of an old film reel spinning, and the hidden office for Walt inside of the camera.
While the set is a beautiful display piece, I will say I was disappointed with the lack of playability it has. I wish that you could move the camera around on the stand. While it seems the designers did their best to make it as sturdy as possible, it is very wobbly and top heavy when you try to use any of the features.
Overall, this set has a lot of unique and fun building techniques and was fun to put together. Even you’re not a Disney fan, it’s easy to just pop off the “1” and film reel and display it as just the camera itself.
Overall, I’d rate this set at a 8.5/10 for its display-ability, and unique parts. I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys videography and Disney, but if one of those two things don’t appeal to you, you can probably just get the build by itself or the figures you want for a cheaper price on BrickLink.

Magical like Disney
Perfect for any Disney fanatic or classic animation fan.
It showcases some of Walt's greatest masterpieces over the past 100 years from Steamboat Willie, to Snow White, Lion King, Aladin, Bambi and everything in between .
Minifigs of Wlat, Mickey, Minnie, Bambi, Dumbo (wish they would've done Snow White as she's the one that put Walt on the "map")
The three layered pane of "The Old Mill" takes you back in time and to the technological advancement of Walt when doing animation.
Beautiful details of the clasics aforementioned on replica movie film.
In closing.one last thing....
