Mickey's Gala Premiere Original Production Drawing

Walt Disney's Mickey's Gala Premiere (1933) Original Production Drawing. This original final animation drawing of Horace Horsecollar, Clarabelle Cow and a crowd of movie-goers was created by a Disney Studio animator in production of the animated cartoon directed by Burt Gillett, and a cel painting was made directly from it. Mickey Mouse, Minnie and Hollywood's top stars gather at Grauman's Chinese Theatre for the premiere of the Disney stars' new cartoon, Galloping Romance. After the celebrities enter the theatre, the crowd rushes in with Clarabelle and Horace in the lead. The animator wrote the studio designation "99" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene. Pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 7 x 7.25 inches.
