Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Happy Production Cel on Master Background

From Disney's influential first animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, we have in this lot an outstanding hand-painted and hand-inked production cel of Happy, one of the hardest dwarfs to find by himself, on a stupendous Master background. This full-figure image of the beloved character cautiously walking comes from the 29:50 mark of the movie, as the dwarfs inspect their cottage, believing there has been a break-in, seconds before Sneezy's powerful sneeze sends him flying. Happy measures 3.5" x 4.5", he is trimmed to image and mounted to the Master background of the dwarf's room, created in gouache on background board, and seen at about the 34:40 timestamp. Backgrounds in this film were done by Samuel Armstrong, Claude Coats, Merle Cox, Phil Dike, Roy Lockrem, Mique Nelson, and Maurice Noble. The lot is offered in a 14.25" x 15.25" mat, sold as-is. The background is trimmed. Light paint separation can be seen on the cel. In Good to Very Good condition with light handling and edge wear from production and a small stain.
