Vibrant original hand colored animation cel used in Disney’s 1940 production of Pinocchio, signed on the mat in green artist pencil, “Walt Disney.” The 11.5 x 8 cel depicts Pinocchio staring at a blonde puppet and is matted to 18.5 x 16. Area of staining to the bottom of the mat not affecting the signature or cel, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original Courvoisier Galleries certificate of authenticity for the painting that reads in part, “This is an original painting on celluloid, actually used in the Walt Disney Production of PINOCCHIO. It is one of a select few that have been released to art collectors. The remainder have been destroyed. Copyright 1939.” Also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Phil Sears.

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. A beautiful example!
