Pinocchio (1940) 
two (2) original production animation drawings
blue, red, green and black pencil on two (2) untrimmed animation sheets, image sizes: 4.75" x 6" and 2.5" x 2"

This original final animation drawing of Lampwick, the bad boy of Pleasure Island, and matching effects drawing were created by a Disney Studio animator in production of the animated feature, and cel paintings were made directly from them. Fred Moore, one of Walt Disney's most gifted animators of the 1930s and early-1940s, supervised the animation of this scene; the blue pencil underdrawing in Lampwick is undoubtedly his work. The matching effects drawing depicts the smoke and ashes from Lampy's cigar which were painted on a separate cel level. The animator wrote the studio designations “29” and "C29" at lower right to indicate each original's place in the scene; studio stamp at lower right on each sheet identifies the production, sequence and scene numbers. Our certificate of authenticity is included.

The sheet with the drawing of Lampwick has two insignificant spots to the left of the image and small spots of paint on the back to the right: VERY FINE condition.

Thaddeus Toad was created by a Disney Studio animator in production of the animated feature, and a cel painting was made directly from it.

It is an animator's extreme drawing with grid drawn at right; the blue pencil underdrawing is undoubtedly Frank Thomas' work. Jack Kinney directed this segment of the two-part feature, based on The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.

original production animation drawing
pencil on animation sheet trimmed to 12" x 15.5", image size: 5.5" x 9"

This original rough animation drawing of Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum was created by Disney animator Ward Kimball in development of a scene in the animated feature based on the tales of Lewis Carroll. In this scene the madcap twins respond when Alice, after reading of their names from their collars, pokes Dee's still figure: "If you think we're waxworks, you ought to pay, you know," says Dee, to which Dum adds "Contrariwise, if you think we're alive you ought to speak to us." Walt Disney's great animator and director Ward Kimball, one of his Nine Old Men, supervised the animation of these characters and this scene; this animator's extreme drawing, with grid at right, is undoubtedly his work. The animator wrote the designation "36" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene. Our certificate of authenticity is included.

Paper has turned tan at edges yet is not at all brittle; there is creasing along the top above the images; light handling; : FINE condition.
