Lot #72: Sleeping Beauty "Phillip and Aurora" Limited Edition Sericel ~18x22 Framed Art

This is a limited edition sericel depicting characters from Walt Disney's classic animated feature Sleeping Beauty (1959). This sericel, entitled "Phillip and Aurora," recreates Sequence 21, Scene 29 from the film: True love triumphs over evil as Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip are forever reunited in the unforgettable romantic finale of the beloved animated fairy tale.

Disney artists, working from the original animation drawings used for the production of Sleeping Beauty, as well as from film reference materials, have translated the original image to a hand-inked, hand-painted cel. This cel was used by Kato Art Studio of Torrance, California in the production of these sericels. This limited edition was produced in 1995. It is comprised of a general edition of 5,000 sericels and 500 publisher's proofs for a total maximum of 5,500 sericels Disney Art Editions approves the techniques used in the production of this edition and the proofs thereof. Conforming to the practice of fine art printing, the screens used to create the edition are destroyed when the edition is complete. The Disney Animation Research Library maintains the original animation drawings. The hand-inked, hand-painted cel is archived with the publisher. There are no signed or numbered impressions in this edition. No additional multiples of this image, including proofs, have been produced in this or any other limited edition.
