Original animation cel from Disney's 1937 classic ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' featuring the character ''Happy''. Despite Hollywood snickering that ''Snow White'' would be ''Disney's folly'' and bankrupt his studio, the prescient animator forged ahead to create the first-ever fully animated feature film. Three years into its making, when resources ran dry, he had to secure emergency funding by showing a rough cut of the film to bank executives. When it finally premiered in December 1937, Disney silenced his critics through the audience's reaction, which gave the film a standing ovation and singularly ushered in the Golden Age of Animation. Portrait cel depicts Happy gleefully posing in his signature costume. Matted and set up by Courvoisier, the official art gallery for Walt Disney Studios during much of the 20th century, though official Courvoisier signature sticker to verso is no longer intact. Cel measures 6'' x 7.5'', framed to an overall size of 13.5'' x 15''. Minor toning from age, otherwise cel is pristine with no chipping. Near fine.
