Vintage Disney Shorts
Original Animation Production Cels from 1950s-1960s


The Disney studio actively produced short cartoons on a regular basis until about 1956 when the frequency of these animated shorts dwindled. Donald and Goofy were the biggest stars. Important newcomers in this era were Chip & Dale, a pair of rascally chipmunks often pitted against Donald Duck in all sorts of adventures. During this time period, the classic Silly Symphony series was replaced by one-shot cartoons such as Lambert the Sheepish Lion.

Below you will find a classic selection of animation cels from this period of Disney animated shorts. Please be our guest and browse through our Disney animation art.
