<B>Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson - Captain Hook and Mr. Smee "Bring Tinkerbell to Me" Bronze Sculpture 5/50 (Walt Disney, 2001).</B></I> In 2001 the Disneyana Convention witnessed the unveiling of this bronze sculpture of Captain Hook and Mr. Smee from the "Frank and Ollie" series. Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson are legendary animators, two of Disney's original "Nine Old Men." A film, "Frank and Ollie," documenting their lives and friendship, was made in 1995, and the two wrote <B>Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life</B></I>, considered by most as <I>the</B></I> definitive book on "character animation". For "Peter Pan," which was released in 1953, Frank Thomas handled the "acting" of the treacherous pirate, Captain Hook while Ollie Johnson animated his fumbling, bumbling sidekick, Mr. Smee. This bronze sculpture captures the colorful personalities that these talented animators brought to life with their magnificent art. The sculpture is number 5 in a <I>very</B></I> limited edition of 50. Originally released at a retail price of $1,795, the "Bring Tinkerbell to Me" sculptures have since sold for considerably more on the secondary market. The sculpture measures approximately 9" x 9" x 10" and is in Excellent condition. Comes with a signed signature series plaque from the creating artist. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
