DISNEY 1960's LUDWIG VON DRAKE PRODUCTION ANIMATION ART CEL SET
DISNEY 1960's "LUDWIG VON DRAKE" PRODUCTION ANIMATION ART CEL SET. DISNEY 1960's "LUDWIG VON DRAKE" CEL SET. THE CEL INCLUDES A WATERCOLOR PRODUCED "BACKGROUND" SCENE.
THE CEL AND BACKGROUND SCENE WERE USED IN AN EPISODE OF "WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR" WHICH AIRED ON NBC BEGINNING IN 1961. MY BEST GUESS FOR THIS CEL WOULD HAVE BEEN DURING THE TIME FRAME OF 1961 TO 1963.
NBC WAS THE ONLY NETWORK AT THAT TIME THAT HAD THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE SHOW IN FULL COLOR. THIS SHOW WAS ONE OF THE EARLIEST TELEVISION SHOWS TO BE BROADCAST IN COLOR. ON THE VERY FIRST SHOW IN 1961, VON DRAKE APPEARED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND EXPLAINED THE PRINCIPLES OF COLOR ITSELF. THROUGHOUT THE SHOW'S RUN, VON DRAKE WAS PRIMARILY A HOST. THE MEDIUM IS GOUACHE ON "UNTRIMMED" CELLULOID SHEET.
IT IS VERY "COOL" TO HAVE A TOTALLY UNTRIMMED CEL SHEET AS MOST ARE TRIMMED. THE UNTRIMMED FORMAT GIVES YOU ADDITIONAL SPECIAL FEATURES SUCH AS BOTTOM PUNCHED HOLES FOR BINDER FILING(2 OVAL PUNCHES AND 1 ROUND PUNCH TO FIT 2 TYPES OF STORAGE BINDERS THAT WERE USED IN THE DAY).
YOU ALSO GET THE STUDIO DESIGNATION NUMBER(213) IN THIS EXAMPLEHAND WRITTEN USING A BLACK GREASE PEN ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SHEET. THE UNTRIMMED CELLULOID SHEET MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 19 X 12 ½. THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE LARGE IMAGE IS 8 X 10 ½(THE POTION OF THE IMAGE THAT WAS USED IN THE SCENE FOR THE TV SHOW IS ABOVE WHERE THE ARTIST INSERTED A HORIZONTAL LINE).
IT IS UNUSUAL THAT THE ANIMATORS WOULD PAINT MORE THAN WHAT WAS NEEDED FOR THE SLOT IN THE SHOW BEING PRODUCED MAKING THIS A VERY UNIQUE FEATURE. THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE VERY PROFESSIONALLY MATTED SET IS APPROXIMATELY 19 X 16.
THE WATERCOLOR BACKGROUND MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 11 X 8 ¼. THIS ORIGINAL HAND-INKED AND PAINTED ANIMATION CEL OF LUDWIG WAS CREATED IN THE DISNEY INK-AND-PAINT DEPARTMENT AND PHOTOGRAPHED DURING THE MAKING OF AN ANIMATED SHORT FEATURE IN THE 1960'S.
