Sleeping Beauty Maleficent Original Animation Production Drawing (Disney, 1959)
This impressive original production drawing from Sleeping Beauty (1959) features the Mistress of All Evil, Maleficent, in a striking 8.5" x 10" full-body image. Designed and animated by Disney Legend Marc Davis, this dynamic illustration captures Maleficent's imposing presence and signature elegance. Illustrated in graphite on 16-field animation paper, the drawing is numbered 143 and appears at the 1:01:20 timestamp as she taunts her pet raven Diablo, saying, What a pity Prince Phillip can't be here to enjoy the celebration.
We must go to the dungeon and cheer him up. The number 143 is circled, indicating this to be a key frame potentially attributed to the supervising animator, Marc Davis.
