a castle animation Production Background
  Cinderella (1950)
Production background of a castle

This piece measures 12" x 15.5".

Sweeping in medieval grandeur, this is a supreme example of the Disney background painter’s skill. The castle is lit in intimate detail against the night’s sky, leaving everything else in despondent shadows. As background paintings go through several stages in the course of production, this exact image did not make the final cut. The reverse side is stamped as "Property of Walt Disney Productions," and references the precise film, sequence, and scene numbers for production. There is slight wear around the extreme upper edges as well as the lower left-hand corner.
The character size is 3" h x 2.5" w.
US$ 10000 (unframed).

The Cookie Queen’s first decree is to save the Hobo Cookie and crown him her king! She leans forward in her frosting frock and points her pretty finger his way effectively stopping the cookie guards from escorting him off. This key master set-up is a stunning piece of Disney animation history.

The chair is cut out and affixed to the background.
There is evidence of pin holes along extreme upper center of the cels and background, which can easily be matted out as well.

Robin Hood
Maid Marian animation Master Set-up
  Available on Layaway Robin Hood (1973)
Master set-up of Maid Marian and Mother Rabbit
"Robin Hood" was Disney studios first animated feature produced after the passing of the great Walt Disney. For this reason, the film was considered a test for the studios animation department. A test they passed with flying colors as the film garnered the biggest box office total of all the Disney films at the time. From this master set-up of Maid Marian dancing in the forest it is easy to see why the film was such a success. The background has all the beautiful, intricate detail work that Disney is famous for, and the character seem to jump off the cel in a whimsical, joyous manner. There is some tape on the edges of the cel--easily matted out and there is one tear in each upper corner of the cel with the pig on it and a corner missing on the overlay cel with the bush on it- which are held in tact with tape-- easily matted out

Bernard animation Key Master Set-up
  Available on Layaway The Rescuers (1977)
Key master set-up of Bernard and Bianca
Bernard uses all his strength to save Bianca and to pull her back into Evinrude leafy boat. This is a fascinating example of Disney animation ingenuity. This is a master set-up but the entire scene is painted on the cel.
This appears at 41:39 in the film. The cel was laminated by the studio which was a fairly common practice for cels from this film and time period. There is small evidence of paint cracking along the blue portion of the extreme lower edge of the image, with no paint missing.
The size of this piece is 16 Field (13"x16") and the character size is 3.5" h x 5" w.
US$ 1800 (unframed).

Bianca animation Key Master Set-up
  The Rescuers (1977)
Key master set-up of Bianca and Bernard
This Key Master set up of Bernard, Bianca, Madame Medusa, Mr. Snoops, Nero and Brutus is truly remarkable. This setup can be seen at 44:49 in the film and is comprised of 5 original production cels and master background. Medusa reclines on the tatty couch as she prepares to pounce on Mr. Snoops for letting Penny escape. Bernard and Bianca look on from the shadows of low table. Every character in this set-up is caught displaying the personality that they portray throughout the film. The crocodiles patiently wait to do their master’s biding, Medusa lazily sneers, Mr. Snoops cringes at Medusa’s scolding, and the story’s heroes bravely watch as they hear Medusa’s plan for the first time. This is a must have for any die hard The Rescuers fan.
The cels are stapled to the background with three staples along the extreme lower edge. There is a small portion of the background that has been trimmed away in the extreme lower left edge, which measures .25" x 2" and exists outside of the image area. All of this can easily be matted out. There are a few very small pin holes in the extreme upper left corner of the background
The size of this piece is 16 Field (13"x16")
US$ 2900 (unframed).
