Lady and the Tramp (1955) 
original production animation drawing
pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 4" x 5"

This expressive, full-figure rough animation drawing of Jock, Lady's neighbor and stalwart friend, was created by Disney animator Ollie Johnston in development of a scene in Walt Disney's CinemaScope animated feature. Ollie Johnston, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised the animation of Jock in two scenes set on the front porch of Lady's home after Tramp has killed the rat and been taken away by the dog catcher, and this is one of his drawings. Trusty sets off to the rescue with a commanding "C'mon, we got to stop that wagon." Jock follows uncertainly and comments: "But, mon, we dinna know which way they've gone." The animator wrote the designation "283A" at upper and lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene.
