Lady and the Tramp (1955) 
original production animation drawing
brown and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 5" x 6"

This full-figure original rough animation drawing of Bull was created by Disney animator John Lounsbery in development of a scene in Walt Disney's CinemaScope animated feature. John Lounsbery, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised the animation of Bull in this scene in the dog pound, and this is one of this drawings. After Nutsy has been led through the "one way door," the English bulldog remarks "Oh well, a short life and a merry one!" The animator wrote the designation "9" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene; additional animator's note "shoulders up" is written to right of the image.
