Peter Pan (1953) 
original production animation drawing
red and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 7" x 5.5"

This lively original rough animation drawing of Captain Hook was created by Disney animator Ward Kimball in development of a scene in Walt Disney's animated feature of J.M. Barrie's classic story. Ward Kimball, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised the animation of Captain Hook in this scene aboard his pirate ship in which he duels with Peter Pan. This is one of Mr. Kimball's extreme drawings with grid at right. The animator wrote the designation "23" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene.
