Description

"Oswald the Lucky Rabbit: Rival Romeos" SOLD-OUT Limited Edition Cel #5/95 (Walt Disney, 1928/2008). Presented is an exceptionally rare hand-painted limited edition cel titled "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit: Rival Romeos," created from original production artwork from the 1928 theatrical short of the same name. Sold out for over 15 years, this piece is numbered 5 of only 95 made, making it a highly coveted treasure for any animation collector. Rival Romeos was directed by Walt Disney and released to theaters on 3/5/1928, telling the story of Oswald and Pete as they compete for the attention of Ortensia (as "Sadie"). This limited edition was created shortly after the famous trade of assets between The Walt Disney Company and NBCUniversal, in which the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit were traded for sportscaster Al Michaels. Referring to this trade, Michaels joked "Oswald is definitely worth more than a fourth-round draft choice. I'm going to be a trivia answer someday." The piece is framed under Plexiglas with a mat window size of 12.75" x 9.5" and an overall frame size of 21.5" x 18.5". All frames are sold as-is. Photos are not representative of actual frame condition. The piece bears an official Walt Disney seal, and it is joined by a Certificate of Authenticity. Well preserved in the frame, the piece is displayed on a quality print background for presentation purposes, and it is in Fine condition.
