(Walt Disney Studios, 1940) Uncommon original production cel featuring the dancing mushrooms from the 'Nutcracker Suite' segment of Fantasia, showing a total of seven mushrooms in a synchronized dancing pose, with the small baby mushroom in front. The cel has been trimmed and applied to an airbrushed background as prepared by Courvoisier Galleries for sale; the lower left of the background bears a small “WDP” stamp. Total mushroom image measures 5.25 x 4.5 (including bubble effects), with a mat opening of 6.75 x 6.25. Framed to an overall size of 15.5 x 14. The frame backing bears the original Walt Disney Productions label. In fine condition, with some toning to the mat. A wonderful piece from the pioneering Disney feature that paired classical music with modern, innovative visuals.
