Description

(Walt Disney Studios, 1932) Brilliant original production key master background set-up featuring Four Fish from King Neptune as part of the Silly Symphonies series, which shows four small fish blowing seashell horns and riding black seahorses during the cartoon's opening song. The cels are placed on their detailed matching hand-painted production background. The cels are slightly trimmed to 9.75 x 7.75 and the pan production background measures 10 x 7.75; the total character image (fish with bubble effects) measures 8.75 x 6.5. In very good to fine condition, with light rippling to cels and some lifting to paint; background features a clipped upper right corner, dampstaining and a ding to left edge, and toning behind fish images. King Neptune was just the second cartoon in the Silly Symphonies series to be produced in Technicolor. A scarce and wonderfully realized key master background set-up from a classic early Walt Disney cartoon.
