"It's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious."

- Mary Poppins

"Mary Poppins," 1964 was a musical fantasy feature film produced by Walt Disney Productions and was loosely based on P.L. Travers' book series of the same name. The film was directed by Robert Stevenson, with screenplay by Bill Walsh and Don DaGradi. "Mary Poppins" combined live-action with animation and stared Julie Andrews in the role of Mary Poppins; a practically perfect nanny who visited a dysfunctional family in London and employed a variety of techniques to improve the family's dynamic. Dick Van Dyke was brilliant in the supporting role of Bert.

"Mary Poppins" was released on August 27, 1964 to universal acclaim; receiving a total of 13 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. The film won five: Best Actress for Andrews, Best Film Editing, Best Original Music Score, Best Visual Effects, and Best Original Song for "Chim Chim Cher-ee." The popular success of the film in undoubtedly due to wonderful songs, that were written by the brilliant team of the Sherman Brothers.

The song "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is one of the stand out songs for the film, and the word entered the pop culture lexicon for being the longest word in the English language (which actually is not true). The song's writers stated that the word originated from their memories of creating double-talk speech as children, and took them only two weeks to write. "We remembered this wonderful word from our childhood," said Richard Sherman who co-wrote the song with his brother Robert.

"I was saved by a flying, wild man in loin cloth!" - Jane Porter

"Tarzan" 1999 is the 37th full length feature film produced by Walt Disney and it was released on June 12, 1999 by Buena Vista Distribution. The film was based on the story "Tarzan of the Apes" written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and was directed by Chris Buck and Kevin Lima with screenplay by Tab Murphy, Bob Tzudiker, and Noni White. "Tarzan" features the voice cast of Tony Goldwyn, Minnie Driver, Glenn Close, Rosie O'Donnell, Brian Blessed, Lance Henriksen, Wayne Knight, and Nigel Hawthorne. The film grossed $448.2 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest film release in 1999, and the second-highest animation release behind "Toy Story 2."

Close up of the original production animation drawing of Jane Porter.

"We thought, this won't be a complicated character. He doesn't have a costume. Then we realized he has the most complicated costume of all -- the human body -- and the anatomy would have to be functioning. The muscles weren't just going to be little lines. When he grabbed a vine, you'd have to see the muscle tense in his forearm, and when he bent his leg, you'd see the tendons of the toes rising up." -Glen Keane

Tony Goldwyn, and American actor, producer, and director; was the voice of Tarzan. Veteran Walt Disney animator Glen Keane, who animated Pocahontas, Aladdin, and Ariel - The Little Mermaid; was the supervising animator for Tarzan as an adult. John Ripa animated Tarzan as an infant and a child. Both artists studied the movement of apes to use for their animation of Tarzan; and Keane was inspired by videos brought home by his young son of skateboarders and snowboarders. Keane envisioned Tarzan as a daredevil "tree surfer," moving through "a freeway of sidewalks covered with moss."

Jane Porter's supervising animator was Ken Duncan and the character was voiced by Minnie Driver. This is an extremely rare and highly detailed key drawing of Jane Porter accomplished is graphite and red pencils. A fantastic waist up image, she is eyes and mouth open, wearing a pith helmet, and has strong facial details. A very rare and wonderful drawing of Tarzan's love interest, and this would be a great addition to any animation art collection!

"Pocahontas, look at me, I'd rather die tomorrow than live 100 years without knowing you." -John Smith

"Pocahontas" 1995 is an animated musical drama and the 33rd full length feature film produced by Walt Disney, and it was released on June 23, 1995 by Buena Vista Pictures. The film was loosely based on the life of the Native American woman Pocahontas and portrays a fictionalized historical encounter with the Englishman John Smith and the settlers of Jamestown. The film was directed by Mike Gabriel and Eric Goldberg, musical score by Alan Menken, songs by Stephe Schwartz, and stars Irene Bedard as the voice of Pocahontas and Mel Gibson and the voice of John Smith. Supporting casts includes David Ogden Stiers, Russell Means, Christian Bale, Billy Connolly, and Linda Hunt.

Pocahontas is the only Disney protagonist to be based on an actual historical figure, rather than a traditional fairy tole or folktale. She is also the only Disney Princess to have a tattoo, which is located around her right bicep. Pocahontas was designed by Glen Keane, who also served as lead animator, and the character was modeled after her Native American voice actress Irene Bedard (along with the historical Pocahontas as well as super models Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington). Judy Kuhn provided Pocahontas's singing voice. It is interesting to note that Bedard would go on to portray Pocahontas's mother in the New Line Cinema 2005 film, "The New World."

John Smith is one of the English explorers that was on Governor Ratcliffe's expedition to Virginia. There he would meet and fall in love with Pocahontas. The character was loosely based on the actual historical figure of the same name, animated by John Pomeroy, and was voiced by Mel Gibson. This is great action oriented original production animation drawing of John Smith. A large image, eyes and mouth open, and he is holding his musket. This would be a great addition to any animation art collection!

"Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?" - Pocahontas

Judy Kuhn provided Pocahontas's singing voice. It is interesting to note that Bedard would go on to portray Pocahontas's mother in the New Line Cinema 2005 film, "The New World."

The stand out scene of the film is when Pocahontas sings "Colors of the Wind;" which explains to one of the new settlers, John Smith, the beauty and importance of the nature and how to show respect for the planet. "Colors of the Wind" was composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and won the 1995 Oscar for Best Original Song, a Golden Globe in the same category, and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Movie. The song is absolutely beautiful and represents the Native American viewpoint that the Earth is a living entity, and that mankind is connected to everything in nature. Due to the the song's popularity, many versions exist, it has been covered by multiple artists, and translated into many languages.

This is an absolutely perfect original production animation drawing of Pocahontas from the highlight of the film, when she is singing the Grammy Award winning "Color of the Wind." She stands over six inches tall, her hands and arms are outstretched, and her hair and the bottom of her dress are being blown around by the red pencil drawn wind. A beautiful piece and a great addition to any animation art collection!

"It's incredible! 16 years, and not a trace of her! She couldn't have vanished into thin air! Are you sure you searched everywhere?" - Maleficent 

"Sleeping Beauty" is a Walt Disney animated full length feature film and was based on "The Sleeping Beauty" by Charles Perrault and "Little Briar Rose" by The Brothers Grimm. The film was the sixteenth in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, and it was released to theaters on January 29, 1959 by Buena Vista Distribution. This was to be the last Disney adaptation of a fairy tale for many years, both because of its initial mixed critical reception, and because of it's under performance at the box office. The Walt Disney studio did not return to the fairy tale genre until 30 years later, with the release of "The Little Mermaid" in 1989.

"Sleeping Beauty" was directed by Les Clark, Eric Larson, and Wolfgang Reitherman, under the supervision of Clyde Geronimi. The story was written by Joe Rinaldi, Winston Hibler, Bill Peet, Ted Sears, Ralph Wright, and Milt Banta. The film's musical score and songs, featuring the Graunke Symphony Orchestra, was under the direction of George Bruns. Arrangements and/or adaptations were derived from numbers from the 1890 "Sleeping Beauty Ballet" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. In addition, Igor Stravinsky's music compositions were also adapted into the film. "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. In select first-run engagements, the film was presented in Super Technirama 70 and 6-channel stereophonic sound.

The next two paragraphs are from Walt Disney animator Andreas Deja:

"Sleeping Beauty's Goons have their roots in paintings by Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516). When I was a kid there was nothing scarier than to look at his pictures depicting visions of hell. Bosch filled his canvas with evil creatures whose anatomy was comprised of various animal and human parts.

Bill Peet and several other Disney artists studied these gruesome figures and used some visual elements in designing Maleficent's scary, but not to smart henchman, the Goons. Peet had a great time researching and boarding sequences that included the Goons. Eventually these Disney versions of Bosch's monsters were given comical treatment. They are still repulsive, but not scary enough to give children nightmares. John Lounsbery animated most of the important scenes involving the Goons, including the pig like leader."

In addition to Lounsbery, Milt Kahl also animated some of the key scenes of the Goons. Candy Candido, Pinto Colvig, and Bob Amsberry provided the Goon voices. This is a rare original production animation drawing of the Pig Leader of Maleficent's Goons, and is from the scene in Maleficent's Castle when she is furious over the fact that her Goon Henchman (after 16 years) have not been able to find Princess Aurora. Maleficent screams, "It's incredible! 16 years, and not a trace of her! She couldn't have vanished into thin air! Are you sure you searched everywhere?" The Goons go on to explain that they have searched all the cradles; thus explaining that they have been looking for a baby for all those years. This is a wonderful animation clean up drawing of the Pig Goon Leader. He is eyes and mouth open, wearing his helmet, and holding a halberd (a type of of weapon prominent weapon from the 14th and 15th centuries that consist of an axe blade topped with a spike set on a long pole). A great drawing for any vintage Walt Disney animation art collection! The dialog for the scene is below:

Maleficent: "It's incredible! 16 years, and not a trace of her! She couldn't have vanished into thin air! Are you sure you searched everywhere?"

Goons: "Yes, yes, uh, everywhere.  - We all did. Yeah, yeah! Uh-huh, yeah."

Maleficent: "And what about the town? The forest? The mountains?"

Goons: "Yeah, we searched mountains, uh, uh, uh, uh, forest.. and, uh, houses, and, uh... Let me see. Uh, and all the cradles."

Maleficent: "Cradle?"

Goons: "Yep, yep. Every cradle."

Maleficent: "Cradle? Did you hear that, my pet? All these years, they've been looking for a baby. Fools! Idiots! Imbeciles!"

Original Production Animation Drawing of Lucifer from "Cinderella," 1950

Original production animation drawing of Lucifer in green, yellow, and graphite pencils from "Cinderella," 1950, Walt Disney Studios; Walt Disney Color Department stamp lower left; Production numbers upper and lower right; Size - Lucifer: 7 1/4 x 13 1/4", Sheet 12 1/2 x 14 3/4"; Unframed.

The 1950 Walt Disney feature film "Cinderella" was based on the French version of the tale by Charles Perrault, entitled "Cinderella" and written in 1698. The film was the second in the series of great Princess films developed by Disney, the first being Snow White in 1937. The character of Cinderella is usually front and center in the pantheon of Disney Princess merchandise, perhaps because she is the only Princess not to be of a noble blood line who ended up marrying a Prince and becoming royalty.

Lucifer was the name of the pet cat of Lady Tremaine, Cinderella's evil Stepmother. The name Lucifer, a synonym of Satan, was chosen by Walt Disney himself probably due to his known hatred of cats. Lucifer was largely created for comic relief from the main storyline of Cinderella. Ward Kimball, the animator for Lucifer, was also responsible for the comedic subplot of the cat-and-mouse chase scenes between the cat and the two featured mice of the film, Jaq and Gus. His design for Lucifer was largely inspired by a pet cat belonging to Kimball himself; and Kimball's excellent animation skills have made Lucifer one of Disney's greatest Villains!

Close up of the original production animation drawing of Lucifer.

Lucifer was voiced by the very well known voice actress, June Foray. Foray worked for many different animation studios and is probably most well known as the voice of Cindy Lou Who, in Chuck Jone's holiday favorite "How The Grinch Stole Christmas," 1966. Chuck Jones is reported to have said, "June Foray is not the female Mel Blanc, Mel Blanc was the male June Foray."

This is a very large and expressive original production animation drawing of Lady Tremaine's wicked and sinister cat, Lucifer. Original artwork of Lucifer is very rare and this is a great piece. The drawing is from the scene when Gus and Jaq attempt to collect Drizella and Anastasia's discarded clothing and accessories in order to incorporate them into a dress for Cinderella to wear to the King's Ball. Lucifer is trying to catch the mice and ends up getting stuck inside of a blouse sleeve. He is eyes and mouth open with a great wicked smile and is accomplished in green, yellow, and graphite pencils. A rare and beautiful piece of vintage Walt Disney animation artwork from the full length masterpiece "Cinderella!"
