"Bambi" Walt Disney Studios 1942   Gouache on trimmed production celluloid applied to an oil paint production background. Thumper's little heart, and feet, go pitter patter at the sight of his girlfriend in this precious cel and background setup. Bambi was Disney's only feature to ever use oil paint as its dominant background medium. Watercolor was the normal medium of choice for Disney and his artists. However, for Bambi, Disney cast aside the detailed watercolor background styles of Pinocchio and Snow White and went for a more impressionistic feel done in oil. This piece was originally setup at Disney for sale through Courvoisier Galleries. All paint is original and in extraordinarily mint condition. The cels of these two characters are among the largest ever seen in a cel and background setup. Matted size 9.5" x 12"
