Bee on Guard (1951)

WALT DISNEY STUDIO
Bee on Guard (1951)
two (2) original production animation drawings
red, blue and black pencil on two (2) untrimmed animation sheets, image sizes: 4.5" x 3.75" and 1" x .5"

These two (2) original matching final animation drawings of Donald Duck and Buzz-Buzz, the main bee who guards his hive's honey from Donald, were created by Disney Studio animators in production of the animated cartoon directed by Jack Hannah, and cel paintings were made directly from them. Donald dresses as a bee to raid the hive, and these drawings are from a scene during his final battle with Buzz-Buzz. The animator wrote the studio designations “63" and "C63” at lower right to indicate each original's place in the scene.
