Walt Disney Studios - Animation Model Sheet for Cannibal King from  Trader Mickey  Original Art (Dis
<B>Walt Disney Studios - Animation Model Sheet for Cannibal King from "Trader Mickey" Original Art (Disney, 1931).</B></I> Here is a bit of film history that the fine folks at Disney might just as soon "recast." This is the model sheet for the Cannibal King in "Trader Mickey" from 1931. This short was Disney's take-off on the movie "Trader Horn" released the year prior. The reason for Disney's reluctance to show this 'toon today is that it features some broad caricatures of the cannibal natives that are quite extreme. A couple of poses feature the King wearing a girdle for a crown, and one sketch is of him laughing over a copy of <B>Ballyhoo</B></I>, a popular parody magazine of the day. There is a Walt Disney Productions stamp on an unobtrusive, blank portion of the page. This piece comes to you matted and in Excellent condition; the image area measures 8.5" x 11.5". <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.
