Walt Disney - 1 Original preliminary drawing - The Dognapper - 1934

Animation Drawing - Mickey Mouse and Long Billed Donald Duck - The Dognapper (Walt Disney, 1934) Original graphite and colour pencil animation drawing from The Dognapper, a Mickey Mouse short directed by David Hand and released on November 17, 1934. This was only Donald Duck's third cartoon appearance and, crucially, his first adventure alongside Mickey, making it a landmark pairing in Disney history. The short is also notable for a unique voice credit: Walt Disney was travelling in Europe during production, so Clarence Nash (Donald's voice) stepped in to voice Mickey Mouse as well, the only time this ever happened in a theatrical release. This drawing captures a moment from the cannon gag sequence (around 4:31), where Mickey and Donald take cover behind a saw as Pete fires at them. Both characters are depicted with lively, expressive poses : Donald still in his early "long-billed" design, before his appearance was later refined and softened. Graphite and colour pencil on 12-field, 2-peghole animation paper (approximately 30.5 × 25.5 cm). Drawing numbered 23 in the lower right. Image area approximately 9 × 5 cm. Condition: very good, with only light edge and handling wear. Early 1930s Disney drawings featuring both Mickey and Donald together are scarce especially from a short with such historical significance in defining their on-screen partnership. This piece is sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.
