PINOCCHIO (1940) - The Blue Fairy Original Production Pencil Drawing - An original animation drawing of the Blue Fairy from Walt Disney's Pinocchio.The Blue Fairy appears only briefly in the film, but her role is vital: she brings Pinocchio to life and sets the story's emotional arc in motion. As a character, she needed to appear both ethereal and grounded, human enough to be believable, yet with an unmistakable sense of magic. Supervising animator Hamilton "Ham" Luske, one of Walt Disney's most trusted creative leads, was responsible for her animation. Luske's work on the Blue Fairy refined the realism he brought to Snow White just a few years earlier, and his delicate handling of performance gives this character such lasting impact.To help guide the realism needed, actress Evelyn Venable was used as the live-action reference model. Her graceful features and composure made her an ideal match for the Blue Fairy's elegant design. There has long been speculation that she also provided the voice, though no formal credit was given.Drawings like this, where the clarity of line reveals so much about performance, staging, and intent, were considered the backbone of the animation process. Walt Disney believed the drawing was the true artistry, with cels merely a byproduct of that foundational work and a 'tool of the job'. While most production cels were destroyed or reused, drawings of this calibre were often archived, studied, and retained.It is rendered in graphite with subtle coloured pencil accents on her wings. She is portrayed with classical poise and serenity, mid-motion, and her expression is full of grace. The paper is labelled "53" in the lower right corner, and a handwritten annotation reads "tongue". There are some minor rips around some of the paper edges.

As such, production drawings like this remain the only original artwork used directly in the creation of the film but are rarely made available.The drawing is rendered in graphite and blue pencil on 16-field animation paper. It features clean character linework of Timon (voiced by Nathan Lane) with subtle tonal accents, and it is annotated with "T92" in the lower right corner.

ASTERIX CONQUERS AMERICA (1994) - Asterix, Obelix and Multi-Character Original Production Cel and Pan Original Layout Drawing Setup - A richly detailed pan layout setup from the animated feature Asterix Conquers America (aka Asterix In America), expertly composed using seven original hand-painted production cels over a large-format pan background drawing.Asterix Conquers America was the first Asterix film produced entirely outside France and marked an ambitious expansion of the franchise. With its distinctive style, international tone, and strong visual storytelling, it brought the iconic Gauls to a new generation.While this specific arrangement does not appear "as is" in the film, each cel and layout element was created for the production and has been thoughtfully assembled by the studio to showcase the visual dynamism and character design that define the feature. The studio officially released this piece as part of the Asterix Art Program, curated to preserve the series' legacy and offer collectors a rare look into the production process.Set in a Native American village deep in the New World, the artwork brings together an ensemble of key characters: the defiant Asterix stands mid-conversation alongside the wise druid Getafix (Panoramix), recently kidnapped and flung across the ocean by Roman forces. To their side, the young tribal girl, while a wary villager and medicine man, and the elaborately dressed village chief observe from either end, the ever-faithful Obelix acting as both mediator and muscle in the scene.The pencil layout background stretches across, laying out the ceremonial grounds and tipi village in a sweeping perspective. These layouts were integral to shot planning, camera movement, and cel positioning. The scale, clarity, and theatrical composition make this setup an ideal display piece, a scene that captures the drama and charm of the film's aesthetic. Multiple production reference numbers are handwritten along the bottom edge of the cels, and several annotations are written on the drawing. The official studio stamp is present on the bottom right corner of the layout, authenticating its origin. A special offering for fans of the franchise and for collectors who value the immediacy, scale, and storytelling power of original animation art.

GUNDAM FRANCHISE (1979-PRESENT) - Altron Gundam (Shenlong Gundam Upgrade) Original Production Cel and Matching Drawing - A visually striking production cel and matching original production drawing of the Altron Gundam, the evolved form of Wufei Chang's original Shenlong Gundam.Altron Gundam first appears after Shenlong is captured and refitted by the rebel forces of the White Fang. Unlike its predecessor, Altron sports twin extendable dragon arms, upgraded beam weaponry, and a more aggressive stance, mirroring Wufei's shifting ideology and growing sense of justice. Its name, derived from "二é é¾" ("two-headed dragon"), reflects both this upgrade and its new mythic intensity.This cel was produced during the golden age of hand-painted cel animation in Japan, just before the industry transitioned to digital techniques. As such, it embodies a level of tactile, manual artistry that is now lost to time.Altron Gundam is seen in a powerful close-up framed by dynamic energy lines. Matched with its original production drawing (douga), this setup encapsulates the intensity and grandeur of mecha animation at its cinematic peak. They are both labelled "A35E". The matching douga drawing reveals the careful planning and precision behind this moment. Hand-drawn in graphite with colour pencil overlays and striking red slashes indicating flare lines and FX cues, it captures the vital tension between control and chaos - essential to the narrative arc of Wufei and his mobile suit's evolution. The cel and drawing together showcase both the final image seen onscreen and the hidden process behind it.

This is a rare opportunity to own a moment of genuine connection between mentor and protege in the Disney canon and from a film that often flies under the radar.This artwork is likely a working drawing used for precise positioning and character staging. This drawing features Merlin, the eccentric wizard, gently grasping the young Wart (Arthur) by the shoulders. The interaction between them is carefully composed, and both figures are expressive and well-posed within the camera framing lines.The characters are rendered in graphite and red pencil on 16-field 3-peg animation paper, with Wart drawn in red pencil. This was a common animation technique used to distinguish overlapping characters or to define placement in multi-character interactions. Wart's placement, partially unfinished in red, indicates he may have been finalised in a separate drawing for inking, while this composite would guide the animators and layout team. The registration peg holes remain intact, and a camera alignment line is visible across the top and bottom margins. There is a minor tear on the bottom edge of the paper. Dimensions: 32 cm x 39.5 cm (12.5" x 15.5")Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M

Rendered in graphite with red and green colour pencil accents on 12-field 5-peg animation paper, this is a superb example of Disney's early character animation. The ink and paint department used the red and green lines to denote the different colour inklines, part of the labour-intensive hand-inking process employed at the time. The sheet is production-stamped with "2001, 10A, 25" and is numbered "44" in the lower right, matching Disney's meticulous scene and frame tracking system.

CINDERELLA (1950) - Cinderella In Bed Original Production-Era Animation Pencil Drawing - An original production-era animation drawing of Cinderella from Walt Disney Studios c.1949-1950. While this drawing does not match an exact final frame in the completed 1950 animated film, several production markers affirm its authenticity: the paper, peg configuration, and character styling place it squarely within the film's production window. The line quality and looseness of the facial features and hairstyle suggest it may have been part of a rough animation pass, an assistant animator's timing test, or a development drawing created while refining key scenes.Drawings like this often originate from early or alternate versions of sequences that were later revised or reanimated. The softer linework and absence of ink-and-paint registration marks reinforce that this was not traced for cel use but was a working part of the animation process. It is ideal for collectors who value the craftsmanship and behind-the-scenes artistry that shaped the golden age of Disney animation.The drawing shows Cinderella seated in bed and holding a blanket. It is rendered in graphite with a small amount of pink coloured pencil added to her lips on 12-field, 5-peg hole animation paper. It is numbered "47" on the lower right. The paper displays some minor creasing. Dimensions: 25.5 cm x 30.5 cm (10" x 12")Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M

PETER PAN (1953) - Tinkerbell Stretching Original Production Pencil Drawing - A magnificent and rare original production drawing of Tinker Bell from Walt Disney's Peter Pan, beautifully rendered in graphite and coloured pencil on animation paper. This exceptional pose captures Tink in a graceful, full-body stretch, arms lifted, wings delicately framed, her characteristic sass radiating through expression and posture. Remarkably, given her tiny scale on screen, this large, detailed drawing reveals the craftsmanship behind her iconic personality.Tinker Bell was brought to life by Marc Davis, one of Walt Disney's revered Nine Old Men, whose masterful animation turned her into one of the most beloved and enduring Disney characters. Without a single line of spoken dialogue, Tink's entire character was conveyed through Davis's expert understanding of movement, expression, and body language. Davis worked closely from live-action reference footage and infused Tinker Bell with a captivating blend of mischief, charm, and heart.Importantly, Walt Disney regarded the studio's drawings as the backbone of the animation process, the foundation upon which the magic was built. As a result, original drawings like this were typically archived and vaulted for their artistic and historical value. In contrast, most cels were routinely discarded or destroyed after production as they were seen as a tool of the job, making the acquisition of drawings like this even more meaningful to collectors and animation historians.

MULAN (1998) - Mushu Original Production Pencil Drawing - An original production drawing of Mushu from Disney's Mulan, used in the making of the film. Mulan holds a particular place in Disney history as one of the final features to use the full traditional hand-drawn process of animators sketching on paper, while integrating the CAPS (Computer Animation Production System) pipeline, developed in collaboration with Pixar. Rather than transferring drawings onto acetate cels and painting them by hand, the final animation was scanned, digitally inked and painted, and composited with effects and backgrounds inside a digital system. This hybrid technique preserved the look of classic animation while allowing for more complex visual sequences. Original character drawings of Mushu are highly sought-after by collectors due to his popularity, personality, and the key role he plays in both narrative and comic relief. Voiced by Eddie Murphy, Mushu became an instant fan-favourite and remains one of the most recognisable Disney sidekicks of the 1990s.Drawings like this were an essential part of the traditional animation pipeline, forming the foundation for each cel or digitally inked frame. Mushu was supervised by Disney animator Tom Bancroft, whose energetic and comic approach brought the character to life in every scene. Executed in graphite and red pencil on Disney animation paper, this expressive sketch captures the fiery guardian dragon mid-gesture, eyes narrowed, brow furrowed, and clawed hand poised in classic Mushu attitude. The use of red pencil here denotes the animator's rough underdrawing, used to establish the form and energy of the pose, while the black graphite layer refines the lines that would be passed to clean-up and (digital) ink and paint departments.

Full of personality, with a strong silhouette and expressive lines, this is classic Disney animation at its best.Rendered in graphite with red and green colour pencil detail on original 5-peg hole animation paper, the drawing features clear indications for the ink and paint team, including shadow and cel layering references. The shaded area behind Pinocchio's arm is marked "DX65," a practical note that hints at the colour reference and instruction. It is numbered "C65" and stamped "Prod. 2003, Seq. 1.6, Scene 15".
