Description

(Walt Disney Studios, 1941) Superb original production cel of Dumbo, Timothy Q. Mouse, and the crows Fats, Deacon, Dopey, Specks, and Jim Crow from Dumbo, which depicts the young elephant perched on telephone wire and holding the 'magic feather' with Timothy and the crows seated on his head; this particularly memorable scene comes from the closing moments of the 'When I See an Elephant Fly' musical sequence. The cel has been applied to an airbrushed background as prepared by Courvoisier Galleries for sale, with the encircled Walt Disney Productions “WDP” stamped in the lower left corner. Total character image measures 10 x 5.75, with a mat opening of 10 x 8. Cloth-matted and framed to an overall size of 19.5 x 18.5; window to frame backing reveals the Disney Courvoisier Galleries label, which reads: "This is an actual original painting on celluloid, actually used in the Walt Disney Production of Dumbo, the Circus Elephant. It is one of a select few that have been released to art collectors. The remainder have been destroyed. Of this series only 22 available." In fine condition.
