(Disney, 1940) A rare animator's maquette of Pinocchio from Disney's 1940 Feature Film, "Pinocchio." Maquettes such as this were used by animators as a three-dimensional reference while animating the character. Constructed of plaster and hand-painted in the Character Model Department of the studio, only a handful would be produced and distributed among the animators, with each one numbered on the bottom. The maquette stands 8.5" tall and is 3.5" wide and is in very good condition, with some yellowing to the paint and a break in Pinocchio's left arm. The studio stamp and the number "11" are on the underside of the base.
