It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) Master set-up of Linus and Snoopy. Linus wistfully writes his holiday letter to the mythic Great Pumpkin. Even the derision of his closest friends (and their dog) can’t dissuade him from sending his wishes to the Great Gift Giving Pumpkin. This is a fantastic master set-up from one of the world’s most beloved holiday specials! Linus appears at 5:12 and Snoopy appears shortly after at 5:26. The writing does not match up exactly with what is in the film, though it is on a cel with production numbers in the lower right corner. Therefore, in our best estimation, the cel with the writing was an earlier piece that was later replaced by the final version. The background shows evidence of wear and paper loss along the extreme upper edge as well as along each corner. There are staple holes in the cels and background toward the bottom two corners, all of which can easily be matted out. There is paper loss along the center peg hole of the background, as well as a tear in the background which measures 2.75" and extends from the right side toward the center edge towards the left horizontally. A slight amount of paint has transferred from Snoopy's ears to the background.. The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") and the size of the image is 2" h x 4" w. US$ 2700 (unframed) PNMCS1  Add this piece to your collection for only US$540 a month.
