The Old Mill (1942) Production drawing of Some Ducklings. In anticipation on his first full length animated feature, Walt Disney used Silly Symphonies as a testing ground to master the effects necessary to play out on the big screen. The Old Mill tested many of these effects, such as water reflections, wind, rain, and "sunset effects" as noted in the upper right hand corner of this original production drawing. The short proved to be an invaluable experiment, but was also quite a success in its own right - winning an Academy Award in 1937. During his near-twenty year run at Disney, Gustaf Tenggren worked primarily as a background and concept artist, leading the workforce of some 700 various artists working with the animations. His Scandinavian influences gave many of Disney’s films their characteristic "old world" feel. As visible in the image, there is evidence of staple holes in each corner, which can be easily matted out.. The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") and the size of the image is 3" h x 4.5" w. US$ 6500 (framed) WDDPP522
