(Walt Disney Studios, 1933) Original production drawing of Mickey and Minnie Mouse from Mickey's Mellerdrammer, showing them together during their stage production of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Accomplished in graphite and colored pencil on untrimmed 12 x 9.25 animation paper marked "76" and "Scene 11" along the lower border. Total character image measures 7 x 4. Matted and framed to an overall size of 17.25 x 13.25. In fine condition. Today, Mickey's Mellerdrammer is considered controversial as it is essentially a take-off on a minstrel show, and Mickey—as seen here—is dressed in blackface.
