Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

WALT DISNEY STUDIO
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) 
original production animation drawing
red, blue and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 4.5" x 4"

This expressive original animation drawing of Grumpy was created by a studio animator in production of Walt Disney's first animated feature, and a cel was made directly from it. In the Seven Dwarfs' bedroom Grumpy objects to the unexpected presence of Snow White: "Angel, huh! She's a female - an' all females is poison. They're fulla wicked wiles." Fred Moore, one of Walt Disney's finest animators of the 1930s and early-1940s, supervised the animation of this scene. The animator wrote the studio designation “15” at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene; the studio's stamp appears at lower left denoting production, sequence and scene numbers.
