Description
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas Animation Drawing and 1 of 1 Limited Edition Cel Signed by Chuck Jones (MGM, 1966). "Then the Grinch said "Giddyup!" and the sleigh started down, toward the homes where the Whos lay a-snooze in their town." The Grinch makes a slight sleigh correction (by untangling his put-upon, scared-silly dog Max) and heads down Mount Crumpit on his way to steal Whoville's Christmas, in this original 12 field animation drawing. This amazing collaboration between Ted "Dr. Seuss" Geisel and Animation Legend Chuck Jones has continued to entertain us every year with repeat television broadcasts - long may they run! You'll want to run to your computer to place a bid on this great framed display, featuring not only the original graphite and blue pencil drawing, but a special "one of one" hand-inked, hand-painted cel based on Chuck's art! Wow! Both the drawing and cel were hand-signed by Chuck Jones (1912 - 2002), and are matted and framed together. The drawing has an approximate image size of 5" x 4.5. The mat openings measure about 11.75" x 9.5", and the display is framed with Plexiglas for an overall size of 35.5" x 20". This great one-of-a-kind display was originally sold at a Chuck Jones Gallery 30 Years of Grinch event in 1996, and the print on acetate from that event is also included on back of the frame, as is a Linda Jones Certificate of Authenticity. Linda Jones holographic seals are also on the drawing and cel. The frame is sold as-is. Drawing and cel are in Fine condition.Auction Info
