Description

(Walt Disney Studios, 1940) Original pencil model sheet drawn by Frank Follmer on an off-white 12 x 9 sheet, signed in the lower right corner with his initials by Follmer. The drawing shows four concept images of the prima ballerina ostrich, Madame Upanova, during the Dance of the Hours sequence from the film Fantasia. Matted to an overall size of 14 x 11. In fine condition. Follmer worked at Walt Disney Studios from the late 1930s through the early 1940s, assisting on projects like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and Fantasia. He alienated Walt Disney when he organized a strike against the studio, and ultimately left to join the Navy.
