Sleeping Beauty (1959)

 

 

 

Maleficent

 

 

Original production animation drawing pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 9.5" x 6.5"
This original rough animation drawing of Maleficent was created by a Disney animator in development of a scene in Walt Disney's Technirama animated feature.
The scene is set in King Stefan's castle during the celebration of the birth of Princess Aurora.

When Maleficent unexpectedly joins the festivities, Merryweather blurts out that she was not invited because "you weren't wanted."
Maleficent feigns embarrassment and says to the king and queen: "Well, in that event, I'd best be on my way."

The evil fairy's raven also appears in the scene and was animated on a separate level.
Marc Davis, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised the animation of this scene.
The animator wrote the designation "46" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene; the name of the king "Stephen" is written at the top.

Peter Pan (1953)




Hook



Original production animation drawing pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 7" x 6.5".

This dynamic rough animation drawing of Captain Hook menacingly wielding sword and hook was created by Disney animator Wolfgang Reitherman in development of a scene in the animated feature based on the story by J. M. Barrie. Peter Pan and Captain Hook battle aboard the pirate ship in their final confrontation, when the former comes to rescue the Darling children and Lost Boys.

The drawing is from the scene immediately following the first shot of Tinker Bell tugging on Turk's mustache to prevent him from reaching Michael, John and the Lost boys in the crow's nest. Peter was animated in the scene on a separate level by Don Lusk.
Mr. Reitherman, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised this scene, and this is one of his drawings. It is an animator’s extreme drawing with grid drawn at right. A number of animators handled the scenes of Peter Pan's duel with Captain Hook aboard the pirate ship, including Eric Larson, Ward Kimball, Eric Cleworth, Bob Carlson, and Clarke Mallery. The animator wrote the circled number "38" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene. Our certificate of authenticity is included.

The Dognapper (1934)




Mickey and Donald



The Dognapper is a 1934 animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists. The cartoon stars Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck as police officers who chase Pegleg Pete after he dognaps Fifi, Minnie Mouse's pet Pekingese. 
The film was directed by David Hand and features the voices of Clarence Nash as Mickey and Donald and Billy Bletcher as Pete.
This was the first and only time that Mickey was voiced by Nash; Walt was in Europe at the time and was unavailable to record his lines for Mickey, thus, Nash took over.    
The Dognapper was Donald's third film and was the first adventure story to feature both Mickey and Donald.
This was the second of only three B&W cartoons to feature Donald Duck (the other two being Orphan's Benefit and Micke'y Service Station). Because the color of Donald's feet doesn't show in black and white, his feet were black in these cartoons.

Alice in Wonderland (1951)




Queen of Hearts


 
original production animation drawing red and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 8" x 7.75".

This original rough animation drawing of the Queen of Hearts was created by a Disney animator in development of a scene in Walt Disney's animated feature based on the stories by Lewis Carroll.
Eric Larson, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised the animation of this scene.
The Queen in introduced in the "Painting the Roses Red" sequence, and she quickly loses her temper when she discovers what her minions have been doing. After the ace, trey, and deuce pass around the blame for painting the roses, the Queen explodes and, for the first time, bellows her signature command: "Off with their heads!" For added emphasis, her crown pops off her head.
The animator wrote the number "21" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene.
A certificate of authenticity is included.

Lady and the Tramp (1955)




Tony



Original production animation drawing brown and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet,
image size: 6.5" x 8.25".
This charming rough animation drawing of Tony, the Italian restauranteur, was created by Disney animator John Lounsbery in development of a scene in Walt Disney's CinemaScope animated feature. It is an animator’s extreme drawing with grid drawn at right.

Tramp escorts Lady to dinner at the alley entrance to Tony's where he and his host entice the shy "cockerala spanish'a girl" from the shadow into the light. The big-hearted Tony reaches down to pet Lady and comments to Tramp: "Hey, she's pretty sweet'a kiddo, Butch'a." George Givot and Bill Thompson masterfully performed the roles of Tony and Joe; together they performed "Bella Notte," the song written by Peggy Lee and Sonny Burke that has come to define the sequence, one of the most romantic in Disney animation.

John Lounsbery, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised the animation of this scene, and this is one of his drawings. The animator wrote the designation "93" (renumbered from "A115") at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene; he wrote Tony's word of dialogue—"Pretty"—at the top of the sheet. A certificate of authenticity is included.
