Peter Pan (1953) 
original production animation drawing
pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 9" x 3.5"

This original full-figure rough animation drawing of Peter Pan was created by a Disney animator in development of a scene in Walt Disney's animated feature of J.M. Barrie's classic story. This scene appears during Peter's visit to the Darling nursery. After capturing Tinker Bell in his cap, Peter responds to Wendy's inquiry, saying "Tinker Bell...don't know what got into her," then looks down as the newly awakened Michael tugs on his jerkin and says "Hello, Peter Pan." Milt Kahl supervised the animation of Peter Pan in this scene. The animator wrote the designation "C50" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene.
