Rare original Boat Builders key master panoramic background with recreated one-of-a-kind cel set-up

(Walt Disney Studios, 1936) Original watercolor key master panoramic production background from the animated short film Boat Builders, showing wooden platform with nail barrel and the hull to a large unfinished boat. A matching hand-painted cel of Goofy and ship boards, recreated in 1994 by the Walt Disney Studios Ink and Paint Department, has been neatly trimmed and applied to the background, resulting in a one-of-a-kind cel set-up of Scene 13A, in which Goofy inspects his handy work. Images measure 3.5 x 6 (Goofy) and 2 x 4.5 (boards), with a mat opening of 15.75 x 8.75. The piece has the gold Walt Disney Company seal to lower left. Matted and framed to an overall size of 28 x 21; the frame features a window in the backing for viewing the reverse of the background, which is marked: "Prod. RM7," "Scene 13A," "Animator Strickland," and is stamp-dated December 2, 1937. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the Walt Disney Company.
