Original Production Animation Cels of Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather From "Sleeping Beauty," 195
"Sleeping Beauty," 1959 is an animated musical film produced by Walt Disney based on two stories: "The Sleeping Beauty" by Charles Perrault and "Little Briar Rose" by The Brothers Grimm. The film was released to theaters on January 29, 1959, by Buena Vista Distribution. This was the last Disney adaptation of a fairy tale for 30 years because of its initial mixed critical reception and because of under performance at the box office. The next Disney adaption of a fairy tale would not occur until 1989 with "The Little Mermaid."
"Sleeping Beauty" was directed by Les Clark, Eric Larson, and Wolfgang Reitherman; under the supervision of Clyde Geronimi. Additional story work was by Joe Rinaldi, Winston Hibler, Bill Peet, Ted Sears, Ralph Wright, and Milt Banta. The film's musical score and songs, featuring the work of the Graunke Symphony Orchestra under the direction of George Bruns, are arrangements or adaptations of numbers from the 1890 "Sleeping Beauty Ballet" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. "Sleeping Beauty" was the first animated film to be photographed in the Super Technirama 70 widescreen process, as well as the second full-length animated feature film to be filmed in anamorphic widescreen (following "Lady and the Tramp" four years earlier). The film was presented in Super Technirama 70 and 6-channel stereophonic sound in first-run engagements.
Flora, Fauna and Merryweather are Princess Aurora's Fairy Godmothers, who appear at baby Aurora's christening to present their gifts to her, as well as go on to become her guardians. The Fairies were voiced by Verna Felton (Flora), Barbara Jo Allen (Fauna), and Barbara Luddy (Merryweather). Verna Felton also voiced Queen Leah, Aurora's mother; and had prior roles as Dumbo's mother in "Dumbo," the Fairy Godmother in "Cinderella," the Queen of Hearts in "Alice in Wonderland," and Aunt Sarah in "Lady in the Tramp." Barbara Luddy had previously voiced Lady in "Lady and the Tramp." The principle animator for the Three Fairies was Ollie Johnston and a little known fact is that one of the actresses who was one of the live action models for the Good Fairies was Frances Bavier, the future Aunt Bee on "The Andy Griffith Show."
This is a wonderful set of original hand painted and hand inked production animation cels of all three Good Fairies, Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather from the Walt Disney masterpiece "Sleeping Beauty," 1959. All three Fairies are eyes open and large impressive images. This is an extremely beautiful piece of original vintage artwork, that would make a great addition to any animation collection!

"I still get a blast out of watching the Beatles cartoons on TV." - John Lennon
"The Beatles" showcased the band in their early mop top (or as they called it the Arthur) and suit look, which was also depicted in the 1964 live-action film "A Hard Day's Night;" even though the band had moved beyond this attire during the cartoon series run. The band members were not involved with the production beyond the use of their music recordings. Veteran voice actor Paul Frees performed the roles of John Lennon, George Harrison, and Brain Epstein, along with other characters; while Lance Percival voiced Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. The female voices were provided by Julie Bennett and Carol Corbett.
Each
Beatles figure was a loose and somewhat exaggerated depiction, with John
and Paul wearing a blue collar-less suit and tie and George and Ringo
wearing navy blue turtlenecks and light blue blazer jackets. All of them
wore matching blue drainpipe trousers and their signature Beatle Boots
(the ankle high, black, and pointed toe boot that the group had made
popular).
"King Features Syndicate, Inc." is an American content distribution and animation studio that was responsible for "The Beatles" cartoons. Most of the episodes of the series were produced by "Artransa Park Film Studios" in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and by George Dunning's company "TVC Animation" located in London. A few of the episodes were made in Hollywood, CA.

Original Production Animation Cel of Jock from "Lady and the Tramp," 1955
One evening in 1937, Disney story man Joe Grant invited Walt Disney over to his house for dinner and ended up showed Disney a drawing he had made of his pet Springer Spaniel, who was named Lady. Walt loved the drawing and suggested that Joe make a storyboard out of it; which he did and the plan was to create a new animated film, simply titled "Lady." The story that was pitched ended up being too simplistic to Walt Disney's taste, and the project was put on hold until about 20 years later.
Jock (Heather Lad O'Glencairn) is a Scottish terrier who lives near Trusty. He is very loyal and protective of his friends. He was animated by Ollie Johnston and voiced by Bill Thompson (who had provided the voice to Mr. Smee for "Peter Pan").
And right at the place where I marked it
With a Bonnie, Bonnie bone that I'll bury for me own
In the Bonnie, Bonnie bank in the backyard"
This is an absolutely adorable original production animation cel of Jock holding a bone from "Lady and the Tramp," 1955. He is eyes open, holding a bone in his mouth, and peeking around a corner. This is just a wonderful piece of vintage Walt Disney animation art history and a great addition to any animation art collection!
