Disney Animation Artwork Exhibition

Mickey Mouse Animation Art

Animation art cels and drawings are the basic building blocks of an animation art feature film or short created by the animators at the Studios whether it be Walt Disney Studios, Warner Brothers Studios, or 20th Century Fox . These cartoon cels and drawings have been bought and sold and collected for many years by animation art collectors. The newer animation art cartoons that you are seeing on televison and in the movies these days are mostly computer animated, which make the older vintage animation cels and vintage animation drawings more rare and hard to find, thus over the course of 30 years they have really appreciated in value.

Animation Sensations, animation art specialists, have been buying and selling animation art through our art gallery located in Georgetown, Washington D.C. since 1989. We also perform animation cel conservation also known as animation restoration on your cells if they are in need of repair. Please feel free to call or email for a free quote.

Please look through our Animation Art Gallery section for more animation cel pictures and animation art drawings.

Walt Disney Biography

Walt Disney also known as Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5th, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. The creator of Mickey Mouse and founder of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. His father, Elias Disney, was an Irish-Canadian. His mother, Flora Call Disney, was of German-American descent. Walt was one of five children, four boys and a girl.

Raised on a farm near Marceline, Missouri, Walt became interested in drawing at an early age, selling his first sketches to neighbors when he was only seven years old. At McKinley High School in Chicago, Disney divided his attention between drawing and photography, contributing both to the school paper. At night he attended the Academy of Fine Arts.

During the fall of 1918, Disney attempted to enlist for military service. Rejected because he was only 16 years of age, Walt joined the Red Cross and was sent overseas, where he spent a year driving an ambulance and chauffeuring Red Cross officials. His ambulance was covered from stem to stem, not with stock camouflage, but with animation drawings and animation cartoons.

After the war, Walt Disney returned to Kansas City, where he began his career as an advertising cartoonist. Here, in 1920, he created and marketed his first original animated cartoons, and later perfected a new method for combining live-action and animation.

Mickey Mouse was created in 1928, and his talents were first used in a silent cartoon entitled "Plane Crazy." However, before the cartoon could be released, sound burst upon the motion picture screen. Thus Mickey made his screen debut in "Steamboat Willie," the world's first fully-synchronized sound cartoon, which premiered at the Colony Theatre in New York on November 18, 1928.

Walt Disney is a legend and a folk hero of the 20th century. His worldwide popularity was based upon the ideas which his name represents: imagination, optimism and self-made success in the American tradition. Walt Disney did more to touch the hearts, minds, and emotions of millions of Americans than any other man in the past century. Through his work, he brought joy, happiness and a universal means of communication to the people of every nation. Certainly, our world shall know but one Walt Disney. Walt Disney died on December 15, 1966.
