Description
The Black Cauldron Cauldron-Born Pair of Color Model Cels (Walt Disney, 1985). Here is an amazing pair of color model cels featuring a Cauldron-Born soldier from Walt Disney's dark-fantasy The Black Cauldron (the studio's 25th animated feature). Color models-also called color tests-are production reference cels created to lock character palettes and paint formulas for Ink & Paint, ensuring continuity across scenes and lighting setups. Both of these studio examples are hand-painted on 16-field acetate and bear production stamps at lower right. Depicting one of the Horned King's undead warriors, the models showcase the film's ominous design language-skeletal forms, shadowed armor tones, and only the tattered remains of cloth. The Cauldron-Born, raised by dark magic into a mindless, pain-immune army, are central to the movie's Gothic atmosphere and mature reputation within the Disney canon. One cel is affixed to a studio printed production drawing that has adhered to the cel. Removal could risk paint loss. With expected surface wear from studio use, the pair presents in overall Fair to Good condition with some paint wear including cracks and some residue -evocative artifacts from a rare, darker chapter of Disney animation.Auction Info
