(Walt Disney Studios, 1990) Original production cel of Mickey Mouse from The Prince and the Pauper, showing Mickey, or his doppelganger, in a three-quarter-length pose wearing a princely outfit. Image measures 4.25 x 5.5, with an overall size of 13 x 10.5, signed and inscribed in black felt tip by Dale L. Baer, who served as the short’s second unit director and supervising animator, “Hi Will – Thanks for letting me sign his, best always, Dale L. Baer.” The lower right corner is marked “19” and bears the silver Walt Disney Company seal. In fine condition. An appealing piece of animation history given that The Prince and the Pauper was the final Disney film to utilize the traditional ink-and-paint and camera method prior to the CAPS digital-ink-and-paint process becoming the studio's main animation technique.
