Walt Disney's 'Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs' was the studios' first ever animated film and it won a unique honorary Oscar award in 1939 which consisted of one regular sized trophy and 7 smaller ones; a testament to the cultural significance of the film.

This original production 'cel' or celluloid would have been used in the original production process after an animators' original drawing was traced onto a sheet of transparent plastic and hand-painted in colour. It would have then been projected in front of a hand-painted background via a multiplane camera to create a minute yet crucial movement in the final film. Now mounted and framed, this piece is the perfect way to add a sophisticated and muted touch of Disney magic to your home. Match with another drawing from our Vintage Disney collection to create a perfect pair.
