Description

The Jungle Book Mowgli and Baloo Production Cel Signed by Disney Legends Frank and Ollie with Custom Hand-Painted Background (Walt Disney, 1967). Featured here is an original hand-painted production cel from Walt Disney's 19th animated feature, The Jungle Book (1967), signed by Disney Legends Frank Thomas (1912 - 2004) and Ollie Johnston (1912 - 2008). The cel has been trimmed to approximately 11" x 7" and presented over a hand-painted custom presentation background, then professionally matted to 24" x 20". A Letter of Authenticity from Linda Jones is included. Directed by Woolie Reitherman, the film features animation by Frank and Ollie on both Mowgli and Baloo-whose friendship shapes the story's heart. Throughout the film, Mowgli imitates the animals around him in search of belonging, while Baloo, a laid-back icon of jungle counterculture, encourages the man-cub to discover his own path and "live the way you see fit." Thomas and Johnston, two of Walt's famed "Nine Old Men", brought exceptional character acting and warmth to Disney's Golden Age classics, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Bambi, Pinocchio, Peter Pan, and The Jungle Book. Co-authors of Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life (1981), their signatures add historic gravitas to an already striking display. A terrific vintage animation piece from two giants of the art. The cel and background are in Very Good condition.
