(Walt Disney Studios, 1989) Original production key master background set-up featuring Sebastian, Flounder, and Flotsam and Jetsam from The Little Mermaid, which shows Sebastian and Flounder in a bind, constrained by Ursula’s sinister henchmen in her underwater cave. The three large cels bear an overlay of bubble effects and are placed on a matching hand-painted production background from the exact scene of same film, which occurs when the two devious moray eels wrap up Sebastian and Flounder after Ariel's friends attempt to warm her about Ursula's evil scheme. The impressive four-character image measures 14.5 x 8.5, practically filling the entirety of the 14.5 x 10.25 mat opening. Matted and framed to an overall size of 23 x 18.75. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from The Walt Disney Company.
Provenance: Sotheby’s, Lot 12, December 15, 1990.
