(Walt Disney Studios, 1966) Original production cels and key master background featuring Winnie the Pooh, Rabbit, and Gopher from the animated featurette Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, the last short film produced by Walt Disney. The cels are trimmed and applied to a hand-painted key master production background from film. The scene shows Winnie-the-Pooh gloomily stuck in "Rabbits House," Rabbit pounding a "Dont Feed the Bear" sign into the ground, and Gopher pleasantly observing all the action. Displayed in its original Walt Disney mount, annotated, "Walt Disney's 'Winnie the Pooh,'" with an "Original WDP" stamp to lower right. Character images range from 1.5 x 2.5 (Gopher) to 6 x 5.75 (Rabbit with sign) with a mat opening of 17.25 x 11. Framed to an overall size of 24.5 x 18.75, with the original Walt Disney Productions label on the reverse. Also signed and inscribed on the reverse in ballpoint by Junius Matthews, "For Earleyn, Junius Matthews," with a later presentation inscription by Earleyn below. Matthews was the original voice of Rabbit in the Winnie the Pooh franchise from 1966 to 1977. In fine condition.
