This beautifully painted desert in the dark was originally a concept piece for Disney's 1992 masterpiece, "Aladdin."

The soft colors used combined with the gentle shapes and curves of the trees creates a peaceful landscape the viewer can simply sink into.

Cinderella
a castle animation Production Background
  Cinderella (1950)
Production background of a castle

This piece measures 12" x 15.5".

Sweeping in medieval grandeur, this is a supreme example of the Disney background painter’s skill. The castle is lit in intimate detail against the night’s sky, leaving everything else in despondent shadows. As background paintings go through several stages in the course of production, this exact image did not make the final cut. The reverse side is stamped as "Property of Walt Disney Productions," and references the precise film, sequence, and scene numbers for production. There is slight wear around the extreme upper edges as well as the lower left-hand corner.
The size of the image is 3" h x 2.5" w.
US$ 10000 (unframed).

NA animation Master Background
  Pinocchio (1940)
Master background

This piece measures 11" x 31". This beautiful panoramic master background depicts the cobblestone lined streets of the quaint Italian town of Pinocchio’s happier days.

The film's directors created these fantastically long backgrounds in which a character could be animated on the move. This background is yet another example of the lost art of animation, in which so many painstaking hours were spent on these beautiful large paintings in order to capture the intrinsic mood of each masterpiece film.
The background appears at 28:25 in the film.
This piece shows the slightest evidence of handling along the extreme left corner, which can easily be matted out.

Robin Hood
Maid Marian animation Master Set-up
  Available on Layaway Robin Hood (1973)
Master set-up of Maid Marian and Mother Rabbit
"Robin Hood" was Disney studios first animated feature produced after the passing of the great Walt Disney. For this reason, the film was considered a test for the studios animation department. A test they passed with flying colors as the film garnered the biggest box office total of all the Disney films at the time. From this master set-up of Maid Marian dancing in the forest it is easy to see why the film was such a success. The background has all the beautiful, intricate detail work that Disney is famous for, and the character seem to jump off the cel in a whimsical, joyous manner. There is some tape on the edges of the cel--easily matted out and there is one tear in each upper corner of the cel with the pig on it and a corner missing on the overlay cel with the bush on it- which are held in tact with tape-- easily matted out

Penny animation Master Set-up
  The Rescuers (1977)
Master set-up of Penny
This beautiful master set-up comes from one of the most carefully designed scenes in Disney’s history. The producers of Disney’s 1977 hit film, “The Rescuers,” took special care to make sure that every shot in this scene served to build tension. They were successful, and this pivotal scene in which Penny dislodges The Devil’s Eye from a pirate’s skull is still one of the tensest moments in animation history. Penny’s face is filled with apprehension as she attempts to lift the dripping sword. The animators did an amazing job portraying the underlying frailty of this unbelievably brave little girl. There is a corner cut out from the background approx 1" x 4" and is at the very edge of the background well away from the painted area
The size of this piece is 16 Field (13"x16")
