Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Snow White Bashful and Sneezy Production Cel and Key Master Background (Walt Disney, 1937).
“Be awful careful…because if anything happened to you…I’d….” says Bashful, as Snow White kisses him good-bye. This is a historically important and stunning Key Master setup of Snow White sending the dwarfs off to work. The original hand-inked and hand-painted production cel features wonderful characters ranging in size from 5″ to 8″ tall that have been trimmed to the images and applied to a hand-painted Key Master production background of the dwarfs’ cottage. Backgrounds in this film were painted by Mique Nelson, Merle Cox, Claude Coats, Phil Dike, Ray Lackrem, Maurice Noble, and Samuel Armstrong. This Key Master setup from the first Disney feature-length film is an animation art collector’s Holy Grail. It is in a 27″ x 20″ frame with a mat opening of 16″ x 10″. Condition is Very Good and frame is sold as-is.

Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas Blue-Eyed Grinch Production Cel (MGM, 1966).
“He brought everything back, even all the food for the feast. And he himself, the Grinch, carved the roast beast!” Upon discovering the error of his Grinchy ways, the Grinch transforms from cold-hearted and red-eyed to the good-natured blue-eyed friend to all Whos. This is an original hand-painted production cel of the very rare blue-eyed Grinch carving the roast beast at the film’s finale. At this heartwarming scene around the 24:19 mark, the Grinch prepares to cut off a slice of roast beast which Cindy Lou Who serves to Max the dog. This outstanding image of the title character measures approximately 6″ x 6″, is presented over a matching print background and bears a Linda Jones holographic seal. This key scene sums up the moral of the story and is a must-have for any Grinch, Chuck Jones or Dr. Seuss collector. Matted with an opening of 12″ x 9 with an overall size of 18″ x 15″. Minor handling and condition is Very Good.
