At Animation Sensations, an animation art gallery since 1989, you will find an extensive collection of original vintage Walt Disney animation production cels, including production drawings, production backgrounds, and original vintage production cels. Many production cels are accompanied by production backgrounds, Courvoisier backgrounds, or color copy backgrounds. Please check with us if you are interested in buying a key master set up. If you can't find a specific character in a vintage production cel and a vintage production drawing, feel free to look at the Disney Limited Edition cels section from the classic animated feature film Fantasia

Included in our animation collection is a beautiful original production cel from Fantasia's Dance of the Hours sequence, in which a variety of animals give a hilarious performance dancing to Amilcare Ponchielli's ballet. This lovely dancing elephant is on a Courvoisier background.

Also on Courvoisier backgrounds are three original vintage production cels from Fantasia's The Pastoral Symphony. Two feature the cute Baby Black Pegasus, flying through the clouds in one cel and perched in his nest in the second. The third sequence is a pair of cels depicting the curious Baby Blue Unicorn and impish Young Faun blowing his horn.

Fantasia, Walt Disney, 1940
Mickey in Fantasia

About the Film

Walt Disney’s third feature-length film, Fantasia, was originally planned as a short featuring Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer’s apprentice. It was a marriage of animation without dialog set to Paul Dukas’s classical orchestral piece The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Walt Disney partnered with legendary conductor Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Philharmonic Orchestra to record the music.

As production progressed, Disney realized that animation was the perfect means of reintroducing classical music to the general public and decided to expand the project to include more shorts interpreting other compositions. He again went to Stokowski to help with the selection of additional music, resulting in seven more selections to bring the total to eight animated shorts. The final challenge was to name the film. Disney held a naming contest at the studio, and Fantasia was the clear winner.

Fantasia was not an instant success when it was first released in 1940 and had its share of controversy over brief nudity. But it stood the test of time as more and more people began to appreciate the film’s innovation and imagination. Fantasia inspired the 1946 Disney feature film Make Mine Music, which used popular music of the time instead of classical; was rereleased in 1947 along with several other Disney classics; and had its own sequel in the year 2000 called Fantasia 2000, which featured seven new animated shorts set to classical music.
