any image for a better view This lively hand-inked and hand-painted animation cel and its matching drawing of Jiminy Cricket were created by artists working with animator Preston Blair in production of a television commercial for Royal Gelatin that aired on the Disn  ey weekly television program in the 1970s. The drawing was
created by an animator; the cel was made directly from it in the Ink-and-Paint
Department and photographed in the making of the film.
Preston Blair signed the cel in full next to the character. Preston Blair began his career in animation with Walter Lantz and Charles Mintz in the 1930s before joining the Walt Disney Studio later in that decade. He animated characters for Fantasia (notably Mickey Mouse and Hyacinth Hippo) and also worked on Pinocchio (1940) and Bambi (1942). He left Disney after the 1941 strike for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. There he joined Fred "Tex" Avery's unit. He is famed for his animation of the sexy nightclub star Red in six of Tex Avery's M-G-M cartoons. In the 1960s he animated at Hanna-Barbera on The Flintstones and in subsequent years was involved in the development and production of animated films and commercials.Mr. Blair authored a number of art and animation instruction books published by Walter T. Foster. The first, Advanced Animation, was published in 1947 and revised several times into the 1990s. His titles Cartoon Animation and Animation 1 remain in print today. These originals are from the estate of Preston Blair. Two Certificates of Authenticity is included; the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity and Certificate of a very respected animation dealer. Cel measures approximately 12.5" X 10". In very fine condition.

An Actual Piece of Walt Disney's First Hollywood Workshop |
|
 |
 |
|
When Walt Disney came to Hollywood in 1923, he roomed at his uncle Robert's house at 4406 Kingswell Avenue. He built an animation stand in his uncle's garage, and worked on an animated reel of cartoon jokes which he tried to sell to the Pantages Theater Company.
Leading the 1982 team that purchased and moved the garage was Disney employee and fan Arthur Adler. When the garage was moved, Adler saved the small pieces of wood that splintered off the garage during dismantling. These pieces, which were too small to be used in the restoration of the garage, are now available for sale to Walt Disney fans who appreciate the significance of having a little bit of Walt's first Hollywood workshop/studio as part of their personal collection. Authenticity: The saving of Walt Disney's gar age from demolition, the moving of it to its current location, and the sale of the remnant pieces to me is documented in the Walt Disney history book, "Walt Disney's Garage of Dreams" by Arthur Adler, show at left. (The book is not included with this purchase, but is available on Amazon.) On page 41 Adler mentions that he got too old to sell the pieces himself, he sold them to me, Phil Sears. Every piece includes my Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity Certificate.Also included is 15 page package of photocopied documentation prepared by Adler. It includes a short history of him saving the garage, a copy of a letter from the Disney Studio Archives, and some newspaper clippings. The wood itself measures approximately 1" in length. Each piece, being original, will vary of course. The book "Walt Disney's Garage of Dreams" is not included. This purchase includes the wood artifact, the Certificate of Authenticity, and Adler's 15 page photocopied history packet. Please note that the checkout system will charge $8.95 shipping but for U.S. shipments we will refund $4.00 on this lightweight item.

The
garage-turned-studio was sold in 1982 and moved to the Garden Grove
Historical Society, and has been on permanent display there for the past thirty+ years, just a few miles from Disneyland.
