WALT DISNEY STUDIO
Mickey's Amateurs (1937)
original production animation layout drawing
red, green and black on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 6" x 6.75" including sketch of Clara Cluck

This original animation layout drawing of Clarabelle Cow was created by a Disney Studio artist in development of scene 11 in the animated cartoon directed by a trio of storymen: Walt Pfeiffer, Pinto Colvig, and Ed Penner. The elegantly dressed Clarabelle plays piano accompaniment to Clara Cluck's operatic performance on Mickey Mouse's radio show. In the cartoon she precedes Clara onstage. The artist wrote the designation "3 cow" at upper right and "Sc 11" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the film.
