Polar Trappers Goofy Animation Drawing (Walt Disney, 1938)....

Description

Polar Trappers Goofy Animation Drawing (Walt Disney, 1938). Goofy and Donald Duck attempt to trap arctic animals in this short, but they find that they are no match for the creatures and landscape around them. In this scene, Goofy finds himself trapped inside an icicle-covered cave in his pursuit of a walrus. Goofy discovers that the sharp icicles will begin to fall from the ceiling at even the slightest sound, and he tries and fails to get out of the cave quietly. In this image, Goofy can be seen retrieving a pin from his thick winter jacket in order to test his hypothesis that even the tiniest of sounds (like a pin drop) will cause the icicles to plummet down onto him. Unfortunately for him, he's right, and a massive icicle drops directly onto him. This moment can be found at about the 3:36 mark of the short. This Ben Sharpsteen-directed short is the first time that Donald and Goofy appear together on screen without their compatriot Mickey Mouse! This original animation drawing features a massive image of the bundled-up Goofy measuring about 6.5" x 8.25". If you're a fan of Goofy, this is a real treasure! The drawing is created with graphite and red pencil on 12 field, 5-peghole animation paper, and it has been labeled in its lower right corner with 87. This excellent drawing is in Good condition, with minor handling and edge wear, a few stray pencil marks, age-related toning, and a small tear on the right edge of the page, away from the image.
