Once upon a time, Desney & Pamela CC Tarot Deck

The "Once upon a time, Desney & Pamela CC Tarot Deck" project is a collaboration between artist Eugene Leong and the Deckstiny team, known for decks like Shuffle Tarot and Smithtiny. This Kickstarter campaign, launched in 2022, offered two distinct tarot decks: the 78-card Desney Tarot and the 22-card Pamela CC Tarot. The Desney Tarot draws its artistic inspiration from the visual style of '90s Disney cartoons, aiming to bring a nostalgic and whimsical feel to the traditional tarot system.

The Pamela CC Tarot, while part of the same campaign, is a Major Arcana-only deck (22 cards plus one special card) that appears to offer a more classic Rider-Waite-Smith aesthetic, as suggested by its name "Pamela CC" likely referencing Pamela Colman Smith. Both decks are produced with premium materials, including Germany Black-core 330GSM card stock and housed in two-piece rigid boxes. The campaign also offered a "Location Tarot" as an additional reward, further diversifying the offerings.

The project successfully raised $14,794 from 133 backers, indicating a strong interest in both the nostalgic Disney-inspired theme and the classic Major Arcana collection. The inclusion of a pocket-sized "Demo Ver. - Desney" as a free exclusive for certain tiers also highlights the creators' commitment to providing varied options for their audience.

This collection is ideal for tarot enthusiasts who appreciate nostalgic animation styles, particularly those fond of '90s Disney cartoons, and seek a deck with a lighthearted yet functional approach to tarot. It also caters to collectors interested in unique, themed decks and those who value high-quality card stock and packaging. The Pamela CC Tarot specifically appeals to readers who prefer a Major Arcana-focused deck with a classic, commemorative feel.

Eugene Leong is the co-creator of the Hybrid Tarot, a successful Kickstarter campaign from February 2021. For this project, he collaborated with Mate Horonumber, the creator behind Shuffle Tarot, Smithtiny, and Ganeshian Village Tarot, operating under the company name Deckstiny. This collaboration brings together their combined experience in creating and fulfilling successful tarot deck campaigns.
