(Walt Disney Studios, 1940) Original production key master background set-up featuring Stromboli from Pinocchio, showing the villain in his caravan train car, with a puppet perched on a shelf in the background. The cel is placed on a rare hand-painted key master background from Pinocchio. Character image measures 7 x 5.75, with overall dimensions of 12.25 x 10.25. In fine condition. This stunning set-up comes from the scene in Stromboli's wagon after Pinocchio performs in his marionette show. Thinking he is free to leave, Stromboli grows angry and locks him in a birdcage and threatens to chop him into firewood if he doesn't perform. Despite only a short appearance in the film, Stromboli remains one of Disney's most acclaimed villains to this day. An impressive and rare key master example.
