PINOCCHIO (1940) - Framed Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket Original Production Cel on Courvoisier Background - An original production cel setup from Pinocchio (1940), Disney’s second animated feature and a landmark in the evolution of character animation and visual storytelling. This piece captures the heart of the film, with Pinocchio receiving earnest advice from Jiminy Cricket, his soon-to-be-official conscience.Both characters have been hand-inked (note the delicate coloured ink lines and surface renderings) and hand-painted on trimmed celluloid, then expertly set against a Courvoisier airbrushed background, complete with hand-applied shadowing to ground the characters in their environment. This custom background presentation was a hallmark of Courvoisier Galleries, Disney’s appointed art distributor in the 1930s–40s, and remains one of the most sought-after formats for Golden Age production art.The scene is particularly charming, the full-figure characters with large scale, expressive poses, and strong interaction, emblematic of Disney’s early narrative brilliance. Cels of this calibre, particularly from Pinocchio, are increasingly scarce.Presented in a substantial, timeless frame with Courvoisier’s original descriptive label preserved on the reverse, this is a standout example of Disney’s early efforts to present animation as fine art. Its survival offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of cinematic history, capturing the enduring charm of Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket in a scene that continues to resonate with audiences. Dimensions (framed): 38.25 cm x 40.5 cm x 4 cm (15" x 16" x 1.5")Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M
PINOCCHIO (1940) - Framed Limited Edition "Anytime You Need Me" Animation Cel - This hand-painted limited edition cel, released by Walt Disney Art Classics in 1996, captures the heartfelt moment where Jiminy Cricket offers guidance to Pinocchio, encapsulating the enduring theme: “Always let your conscience be your guide.â€Created using traditional techniques, Disney artists hand-inked lines onto acetate cels over original animation drawings (for example, note the different-coloured ink lines for Pinocchio’s nose, hair, and the rendering on his feather) and then hand-painted the artwork using 30 Disney-approved acrylic colours. The background was lovingly reproduced by a Disney artist, drawing from original paintings, sketches, and frames to ensure authenticity.Hand-painted limited editions like this hold a significant place in the animation art market. They provide collectors and fans with beautifully rendered pieces from beloved films, exactly how they were originally enjoyed. Original production cels and backgrounds were lost, archived, or command exceptionally high values when they surface. Released through Disney’s Collector’s Art Programme and sold via theme parks, Disney Stores, and authorised galleries, these editions were crafted with meticulous attention to detail, often utilising archived notes and artwork to ensure authenticity.Limited to just 350 pieces, this artwork is numbered “140/350†and bears a Walt Disney Company seal in the lower right corner. Many editions, including this one, sold out upon release due to high anticipation and remain highly sought after by collectors today. It is mounted within an original Disney frame with plexiglass and features a hanging wire on the reverse. The lot is accompanied by a The Walt Disney Company certificate of authenticity. Dimensions (framed): 25.25" x 23.25" x 1.25" (64 x 59 x 3 cm)Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M
