MICKEY MOUSE Production Art Animation Cel WALT DISNEY 1932 TRADER MICKEY I10

Here we have an extremely rare early 1932 hand drawn production used layout drawing SET OF 2 from the iconic Walt Disney short " TRADER MICKEY". Great pose/almost centered (will be centered with matte). Note: will look amazing once matted and framed! Trader Mickey is a 1932 Mickey Mouse cartoon where Mickey and Pluto, as traders in Africa, are captured by cannibals but win them over with a musical jam session, saving themselves from being cooked.

Directed by Dave Hand, the film is notable for its use of racial stereotypes, which has prevented its release on modern home video or television, though it is available online. Release Date: August 20 or 26, 1932. Directors: Burt Gillett and David Hand (Hand's directorial debut). Stars: Walt Disney (Mickey Mouse), Pinto Colvig (Cannibal Chief). Plot: Mickey and Pluto are captured by cannibals while on an African river, but they diffuse the situation by playing music, leading to a dance party with the natives.

Significance: It was one of the first Disney cartoons with synchronized sound and marked the directorial debut of Dave Hand, who would later direct Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Controversy: Due to its use of racist caricatures, the cartoon has never been officially released on home video or shown on Disney-affiliated channels.
