This beautiful edition portrays scene 28 from Sequence 12.1 of Lady and the Tramp (1955). This animated feature delightfully combines two of Walt Disney’s favorite themes: dogs and nostalgia for turn-of-the-century Americana. Lady makes her home in a charming residential area of a small New England town circa 1910, and the film’s art direction showcases the quaint gingerbread architecture of the era. Lady and the Tramp was the first animated feature produced in the CinemaScope® widescreen process. “CinemaScope gave the artists the opportunity—indeed, the necessity—to experiment with action, groupings, and setting,” said Walt Disney. “We were able to do more in our backgrounds and settings because we had a larger canvas on which to work.” Consequently, more time and attention were devoted to the background paintings than ever before. The printed background with this hand-painted cel lovingly recreates the Victorian-style wallpaper pattern seen in Jim Dear and Darling’s parlor in the film’s backgrounds. The oval cut portrait is evocative of Walt Disney’s 15th animated feature’s enchanting turn-of-the-century setting and perfectly captures the actual film moment of Lady and Tramp’s happy-ending family portrait.

Inspired by the art created for the Walt Disney Studios 1955 film, this edition was produced at the Walt Disney Ink and Paint Department. This hand-inked and hand-painted Limited Edition Cel required 7 ink colors and 16 paint colors, and both the cel and the background were created by carefully consulting the original animation drawings and animation background paintings that were used in the production of this animated feature. The result is an endearing portrait of these lovable pooch sweethearts. Unframed Size 13.5 by 12 Inches, framed 16 by 14.5 inches. Edition size 200.
