“It was something not needed, but needed. Not necessary, but necessary.”

(Or: How Notre Dame’s spire ended up on Sleeping Beauty’s Castle)

According to Sam Gennawey’s The Disneyland Story: The Unofficial Guide to the Evolution of Walt Disney’s Dream:

On a visit to Disneyland…author Ray Bradbury saw a spire on the side of the castle that he described as “a duplicate of the convoluted and beauteous spire Viollet-le-Duc raised atop Notre-Dame 100 years ago.”

Bradbury called [Imagineering Legend] John Hench and asked, “John, how long has Viollet-le-Duc’s spire been on the side of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle?”

Hench replied, “Thirty years.”

Bradbury remarked that he had never noticed it before and asked, “Who put it there?”

Hench said, “Walt.” When asked why, Hench said, “Because he loved it.”

Bradbury said, “It was something not needed, but needed. Not necessary, but necessary.”
