Lot 768 Original cels and studio prepared background from the “Bella Notte” sequence of Lady and the Tramp
(Walt Disney Studios, 1955) Rare original production cels of Lady and Tramp as well as the table, the breadsticks, candle and the plate of spaghetti from the “Bella Notte” sequence of Lady and the Tramp. This particular piece was assembled and released by the studio as a signature piece for the opening of Disneyland in 1955, and specifically for the opening of Disney’s Art Corner; the store in Disneyland that was an outlet for Disney animation art. The original painted background is unique among Art Corner animation art pieces, which have at most, printed backgrounds on thin paper or no background at all. A long-time Disney employee, who later helped open the Art Corner, was given the privilege of purchasing this piece and was the source for this historically important, quite rare, and most iconic Disney image. The entire piece measures 8 in. x 10 in. and still has the Disneyland Art Corner label attached to the back.
