Colorful vintage reproduction of an original celluloid drawing actually used in the Walt Disney production of Bambi, featuring Bambi, Thumper, and Flower having an encounter with a butterfly. Very nicely signed and inscribed on the mat in brown artist’s crayon, “To Ellen—Best wishes, Walt Disney.” Mat is also labeled in pencil directly under the image, “Walt Disney’s Bambi.” Drawing and mat are framed to an overall size of 16.75 x 16. Back of the item has the original brown backing which bears the original label from Walt Disney Productions, detailing the animation process and important museums which contain Disney art. Label reads, in part: “This is a reproduction of an original celluloid drawing, actually used in the Walt Disney production of ‘Bambi.’ It is one of a select few that have been released…Walt Disney originals are included in many important museums and private collections. Notable among these are: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Cleveland Museum of Art, etc.” In fine condition, with some, light damp staining along bottom edge, affecting only Disney’s paraph and tearing to backing and label. Bambi was rumored to be Disney’s favorite film. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
