Walt Disney Autographs Dopey For Snow White!

 

Walt Disney has personally autographed this original production cel of Dopey as a gift for the first movie Snow White actress!  According the Walt Disney Family Museum website (https://www.waltdisney.org/blog/snow-white-1916):

"Shortly after his 15th birthday, Walt Disney saw a movie that made a powerful impression on him. The film was Snow White, starring Marguerite Clark, and Walt, then a youngster in Kansas City, saw it at a special “movie party” sponsored by the Kansas City Star... It was loosely based on the Brothers Grimm story of “Snow White,” but more particularly on a 1912 stage production which also had starred Marguerite Clark. Drawing on generations of fantasy tradition, and Ms. Clark’s winning performance, the 1916 version of Snow White was a film of rare charm and appeal. It was, Walt told an interviewer in later years, “a perfect story.” In the 1930s, when he determined to produce his first feature-length animated film, the story of Snow White instantly came to mind. Today, of course, we know that he adapted the story in his own unique, original way; but he remarked more than once that he had been inspired partly by his memory of that long-ago movie showing in Kansas City..."

Walt Disney has personally autographed this 1937 original production cel of Dopey in graphite:

TO MARGUERITE CLARK   MY BEST WISHES   WALT DISNEY

  Included is an email from the former owner:

I have inherited a Snow White cel signed by Walt Disney to Marguerite Clark, who of course played Snow White in the live-action film that inspired Disney.  Clark was my grandfather's godmother. For more provenance, here is Clark, on the left, with my great-grandmother Tessie Mooney, standing third from left... Tessie married my great-grandfather J. Frank Hale, and it is their son James, my grandfather, who was Clark's godson... The Disney Family Museum has expressed interest in the cel..."
(Note:  Photo of Marguerite Clark is not included)
