Its hard to believe that Disney characters have
appeared on television for nearly 50 years. Starting with a few specials on ABC
in the early 1950's that evolved into the
Disneyland television show in 1954, expanding to include the original
Mickey Mouse Club,series, the first color Disney broadcasts of
Wonderful World of Color, in the early 1960s and continuing on to the many animated
series we see today, Disney has been a fixture of American television for over 50 years.
Here are a few examples of the memories we all share captured in some wonderful
animation cels.
Here we have a fabulous production cel made in the Studio's Ink and Paint Department and photographed in the making of a 1960's Disney television program. 8x10" cel opening in 12x14" mat. Reproduction background. It has a Disneyland Art Corner seal.
Jiminy Cricket Production Cel
Production cel probably from 1960's television. It's a fine image of Jiminy, full-figure and eyes open. We obtained it with the original Disneyland Art Corner mat and background in poor condition and so we replaced them. 9x12" cel opening in 16x20" mat.
Jiminy Cricket Production Cel
Production cel, probably from television. It's a cut cel shown in a 6x4½" opening in a 14x11" mat with a supplied background.
Webbygale DuckTales Production Cel
This is a production cel from one of the Disney Afternoon television series, "DuckTales" that was produced in the late 1980's or early 1990's. It features
Webbygale over a reproduction background that shows Minnie Mouse. It has a 4½x6½" cel opening in an 8x10" mat.
Peter Pan TV Commercial Cel
Production cel from 1960s television commercial, not made by Disney, although
produced under license. It has a matching reproduction background with a 8x5" cel opening
in a 12x9" mat.
