Pinocchio Stromboli Animation Drawing (Walt Disney, 1940)....

Description

Pinocchio Stromboli Animation Drawing (Walt Disney, 1940). This powerful final animation drawing of the imposing and unscrupulous Italian puppeteer was created by Vladimir Tytla (1904-1968) and his assistant in production of the classic animated feature, and a cel painting was made directly from it. Stromboli introduces the sensational new performer for the conclusion of his marionette show, Pinocchio: "and by special permission of the management, that's-a me, too - questa lo noche - is presenting to you..." With this captured image seen in action near the 36:00 timestamp of the film. Vladimir Tytla supervised the animation of this scene, and the blue pencil underdrawing is his work. The initials of his assistant, Robert W. Carlson (1906 - 1990), Mr. Tytla's lead assistant animator, are written at upper right. Rendered in graphite and colored pencil, the image of Stromboli measures approximately 9.5" x 6" filling the space of the 12 field 5-peghole sheet of animation paper. Featured on the bottom right corner is a stamp of the drawing's production codes. The piece has minor age-toning, slight handling and edgewear, light stray marks from the rendering of Stromboli's manic expression, light creasing on the bottom corners, and three peghole supports. In Good to Very Good condition.
