(Walt Disney Studios, 1942) Group of four original rough production drawings of Bambi by noted character animator Preston Blair, each showing the young buck in a wonderful leaping action pose, all essentially full-figure, three of him with playful expressions and the last depicting Bambi in a state of surprise. Each is accomplished in graphite and colored pencil on an untrimmed 12 x 10 sheet of animation paper marked in the lower right corner as “22 ½,” “23,” “24,” and “52.” Character images measure 4.25 x 5.75, 4.5 x 6, 3.5 x 6, and 3.75 x 6.25. In overall fine condition, with some light creasing to corners, and the last drawing features uniform toning and vertical and horizontal folds.
