Inside the Disney/MGM Studios Theme Park in Walt Disney World is a building dedicated to the art of animation called "The Animation Gallery". This attraction shows guests how traditional cel animation is produced. They had a tour where guests are shown a short film starring Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite that describes the process of animation. The presentation continues with a tour of a working animation studio right in the park. Guests walked along a glass-enclosed walkway above the artists' workstations. Along the way, monitors display more filmed presentations that explain each step in the process being performed in the studio below.
At the end of the tour, guests exit through the attached gallery and souvenir store which offers a broad range of items from production cels to postcards. Starting in 1989 when it opened, the Gallery has offered a souvenir cel for sale featuring Mickey Mouse. These are hand-painted cels produced on site. Naturally, these cels are mostly bought by people as mementos of their family vacations and so they tend to be tightly held by their owners, thus leading to some scarcity - particularly of the first few editions. We're pleased to show our collection of these wonderful examples of the exclusive animation art we have for sale from the park now called "Hollywood Studios".
