Among the most renowned animators in Disney's history,
Ward Kimball is one of the original 'Nine Old Men' who
brought the magic of Disney
animation to the heights of achievement during the 1940's
and 1950's. Kimball joined the Disney team in 1934 as an
animator and was fundamental
in the animation of comic, eccentric - even bizarre - scenes.
His abstract comedic visual sensibility is particularly
displayed in the title number
of 'The Three Caballeros', and his sense of the absurd
is on full exhibition in the Mad Tea party sequence of
'Alice In Wonderland'. He may be
most recognized for his animation of Jiminy Cricket in
'Pinocchio'. Kimball was also principally responsible
for Donald Duck in 'The Three Caballeros',
1944, Pecos Bill in 'Melody Time', 1949, Lucifer the
cat in 'Cinderella', 1950, and the Chesire Cat, The March
Hare and The Mad Hatter in 'Alice
In Wonderland', 1951.
This hand-inked and
Hand Painted Limited Edition Cel
captures many of Kimball's
great animation moments. The fine art lithographic background recreates
several of Kimball's own drawings and a 1940's photo of Kimball working with Walt Disney. Ward Kimball has personally signed each work of art
in the edition.
