TOBY TORTOISE RETURNS

Walt Disney Studio, TOBY TORTOISE RETURNS, ORIGINAL PRODUCTION ANIMATION CHARACTER DRAWINGS, 1936.These original animation character drawings of Max Hare were created by a Disney artist in preparation for animation of scenes in the animated Silly Symphony cartoon. Max Hare and Toby Tortoise first competed in The Tortoise and the Hare(1935), and they appear as adversaries in a boxing match in this 1936 cartoon directed by Wilfred Jackson. These drawings were likely based on a model sheet distributed to animators; the artist wrote "Max Hare" at upper left. Drawn in pencil on an untrimmed animation sheet, the art measures 8" x 10.5". There is light handling; one pinhole in each upper corner; the paper has darkened a bit with age
