    Unique 1950s Black Pete throwing Darts at Mickey
    Disneyland Art Corner Disney Cel
    One-of-a kind Original Production cel
    Here's another personal piece, that I've had in my collection for many years.
    Time to let go of this hand painted celluloid.
    The Disney cel is in Marvelous condition for it's age (over 60 years old). Cel size is a HUGE 12 x 10 inches, Pete measures, about 7 x 5 inches. Never restored, all original paint in very good condition (please see pics). Beautiful Ink paint lines.
    Cel is from
    "
    Donald's Award
    ", broadcast on "The Wonderful World Of Color".
    The original air date was
    Episode aired 27 March 1957
    . Great looking image of Pete with his trombone. The cel is from a 'bridge' animation sequence between older cartoons. This cel was meant to match Pete in Trombone Trouble.
    BONUS:
    We created the background of the Mickey Head Dart Board as Pete was more of Mickey's nemesis then Donald's. Background is custom designed and printed on archival watercolor paper. Background is not available separately, so please don't ask.
    BRAND NEW Frame
    Brand NEW Solid Wood Custom Frame and Custom Matting. Matting is Archival. New Glass. Piece is finished off with brown dust-paper backing. Art Corner label is visible on the backing. Wire hanger.
    This piece is ready to hang out of the box!
    Piece has the Art Corner Certificate of Authenticity on the back.
    It's very rare to have a Mint Condition Art Corner cel. Buyers should be aware that this is a used cel and will always be imperfect and
    imperfections
    should be expected with this kind of cel. Piece has the Disney-Disneyland Main Street USA, Art Corner Certificate of Authenticity on the back.
    It's the ultimate center piece of any animation art collection.
    Buyers are responsible for understanding that this is vintage animation artwork that has characteristics that are NOT NEW. This is an antique, that is in typical antique condition. You buy antiques because they are imperfect, used and have wear. This is a vintage original production cel. It is vintage, not new. It is considered to be an antique. If you are not an experienced collector of Art Corner cels then this is not recommended for you, the novice collector. There is no such thing as a 'mint' condition Art Corner cel Set-up. Inspect closely, might have areas of missing paint or cracking which is Normal wear for a 60 years old hand painted cel.  Because it is vintage and NOT new, is precisely why you want to collect and buy these pieces. Unfortunately, rookie buyers have un-realistic expectations of perfections.....for those of you who have that need for perfection, then you should buy a sericel. That's the perfect piece for you.
    Personally, as animation art collector of over 40 years. I LOVE Art Corner cels. I love that they were original Sold at Disneyland in the 50s and 60s while Walt Disney was alive and running Disneyland. Their very existence is because Walt himself thought they were artwork and he made them available to the masses.  They are one of a kind. They appeared on-screen. Each was hand painted by Top Disney talent, the finest Disney artists at the studio. Not some guy in a theme park, in a dark corner of a shop, doing drawings for 5 bucks. Simply speaking they are the ultimate Disneyland collectible.
    The Art Corner Label on the back is the Official Disney Certificates of Authenticity.
