"Sleeping Beauty" Walt Disney Studios 1959   Gouache on trimmed production celluloid applied to a pan watercolor production background. This is truly animation at it's most dramatic. Rarely do you find a work that possesses so much raw power and passion. This setup is from the pinnacle scene where Prince Philip fights Maleficent who has turned herself into the Dragon. The background to this piece was done by Disney's legendary artist Eyvind Earle. Note his trademark sharp, geometric design to objects such as the vines and the rock which make up the cliff. Earle's background art is among the most sought after works by collectors. The trimmed cels of The Prince and The dragon complement this striking background perfectly. Matted size 11" x 33.5"
