Vibrant original color cel set-up with six character cel paintings used in Disney’s 1939 Academy Award-winning production of The Ugly Duckling. Signed and inscribed on the mat in blue artist pencil, “To Johnnie Parsons, My Best, Walt Disney.” The 9.5 x 8 cel depicts the ostracized duckling being shunned and is matted to 16.5 x 16. The original Courvoisier Galleries certificate of authenticity for the painting is affixed to the reverse and reads in part, “This is an original painting on celluloid, actually used in the Walt Disney Production of THE UGLY DUCKLING. It is one of a select few that have been released to art collectors. The remainder has been destroyed. Copyright 1938.” Slight rippling, several dark stains to the upper right corner of the mat, and scattered lighter staining, otherwise fine condition. For each slight movement in the action of a character in a Walt Disney animated picture, a celluloid painting was made. These celluloid paintings were photographed in succession over master backgrounds producing, on the motion picture film, numerous pictures, each with its small change in movement. These, when projected on the screen in rapid succession, created the illusion of motion.
