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.

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....
In the words of legendary movie critics, Siskel & Ebert, "Two thumbs up, Wes and Camilla"

Nice build
Enjoyable build. I added a rubber band so I get a nice clicking sound when turning the crank and it stays in the same spot when done turning. (The rubber band I used was little big so I looped it around the back. See photo).

Wish the camera swiveled
This is a nice set, very nostalgic and some really good attention to details. The only thing I wish they would have done differently is to make it so the camera could be moved up and down or swiveled around on the tripod. The presence of the camera handle makes it seem like it should be able to move but then it doesn’t. It’s just a little disappointing to me.

Amazing set
This is hands down one of my favorite display sets yet and the build was an incredibly fun one. As a fan of Disney, Lego, and all around animation, I am absolutely in love with every detail, my favorite being the 3 panel background. My only complaint is that, after watching Disney's the Old mill, the scene in the set does not appear to be a part of the short.

The LEGO Disney Walt Disney Tribute Camera set (43230) is a unique and beautiful set, ideal for Disney enthusiasts. It consists of 811 pieces and replicates Walt Disney's camera from the first Mickey Mouse cartoon, Steamboat Willie. The set includes minifigures of Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse, and Minnie Mouse, with excellent detailing. The camera, mounted on a tripod, has movable parts like a focusable lens and an operational shutter. It even includes a film reel that is along the camera. Overall, it's a challenging yet rewarding set, making for an impressive display piece for Disney fans of all ages.

Loooooove this set!
The addition of the multiplane alone makes this set worth it for me. Was not expecting it to be so nice to look at!
