two (2) original production animation drawings
red, blue and black pencil on two (2) untrimmed animation sheets, image size: 4" x 4.5" and 4" x 3.5"

These two (2) original final animation drawings of Grumpy and Sleepy were created by a Disney Studio animator in production of Walt Disney's first animated feature, and cel paintings were made directly from them. 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 premier animators of the 1930s and early-1940s, supervised the animation of both characters in this scene. The animator wrote the studio designations “4” and "220" at lower right to indicate each original's place in the scene; Disney Studio stamp at lower left denotes production, sequence, and scene numbers.
