Walt Disney Studios --  Pinocchio  Original Pencil Model Sheet. (1940).
<B>Walt Disney Studios -- "Pinocchio" Original Pencil Model Sheet. (1940).</B></I> Pinocchio is shown in five wonderful original pencil poses in an early character model sheet. Gustav Tenggren's illustrations were the inspiration for the atmosphere and character designs as the Disney studio tried to translate the story to film. This early design work for Pinocchio shows him much closer to the Tenggren design than the final Disney image. This is a rare piece of design history. Superb! The art is in excellent condition on 5-hole animation paper measuring 12.0" x 10.0" and each pose of Pinocchio measures approximately 1.75" x 4.5." <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.
