(Walt Disney Studios, 1955) Original production cel set-up of the two title characters from Lady and Tramp, showing the canine couple eating spaghetti in an alleyway behind Tony's Restaurant during the film’s memorable 'Bella Notte' sequence. Deriving from the personal collection of a Disney animator who added a hand-painted foreground cel that is nearly identical to the film’s original; the foreground features a linen-draped table, a lit candle, breadsticks, and a plate of spaghetti. The cels of Lady and Tramp were trimmed to image, as were the strands of spaghetti hanging from their mouths, and applied to a larger cel, which is placed on a matching color laser background. Character images measure 3.25 x 5.75 (Tramp), 2.75 x 4.75 (Lady), and 11 x 7.75 (table with candle), with overall dimensions of 17 x 13. The animator created this set-up circa 2000-2003 in the same manner as the classic ‘Art Props’ set-ups matted and signed by Walt Disney for studio VIPs. In fine condition. This rare and beautiful setup brings to life the memorable ‘Bella Notte’ scene that climaxes in the 'spaghetti kiss,' an iconic moment in American cinema.
