Description

Wonderful ‘underwater’ Pinocchio cel paired with a preliminary production background of the ocean floor

(Walt Disney Studios, 1940) Original production cel and production background from Pinocchio, showing the title character underwater and tied to a rock anchoring him to the ocean floor. The cel is placed on a matching hand-painted preliminary background of the lush seabed, which was created during production but not used in the film. The image measures 3 x 4.5, with overall dimensions of 12 x 9. The reverse of the background bears a handwritten inscription, which reads: “A little late for your 2nd Anniversary but better late than never. - From your ‘Big Brother’ at Disney’s, Bill, (‘Jingles’), October 16, 1940.” In fine condition, with tape to edges. A gorgeous full cel featuring the main character paired with a well-done background to make an impressive and unique display.
