This hand-painted cel captures the
essence of a classic moment from a cartoon directed by
renowned animation artist and director Chuck Jones.
The wuvely Valkyrie Brunhilde is enraptured by the
operatic sounds from Seigfried Elmer in the ritualistic
courtship of Wagners...er, Warners Bros. cartoon parody.
What's Opera, Doc? was voted the number one cartoon by
historians, film critics and film directors out of
thousands in the book 'The World's Fifty Greatest Cartoons'.
Inspired by the original 1957 cartoon scene in
'What's Opera, Doc?', Jones created the original artwork
used to produce this edition. Each cel is hand-signed by
Jones, signifying his approval. This edition is also
signed by background legend Maurice Noble, who created
the backgrounds for the original production, and the
background for this edition.
Image size is approximately

This
Limited Edition Cel

Opera Doc?', directed by legend Chuck Jones.
