This piece is from our personal collection and we have had it since it was originally issued. The framing was done professionally by one of the five people who at the time were advising Disney on animation artwork. As stated in the certificate of authenticity that is included with this piece: " This is a special limited-edition, 132/300, hand painted, ink-enhanced, cel set-up excerpted from the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" section of Walt Disney's Fantasia and from Walt Disney Pictures' Fantasia 2000. This image, "A Lesson Learned" is from original animation drawings from Sequence 7, scenes 87 and 88 of the animated feature. After causing an enchanted tempest, Mickey Mouse returns to the mystical sorcerer Yen Sid, and timidly returns the borrowed magic cap to his disappointed master. The Walt Disney Studios has created this character image using traditional animation techniques. The original animation drawings were adapted for this composition and transferred to acetate cels by a special six step xerographic process. Artists of the Walt Disney Studio Ink and Paint depatment then enhanced the cels with 9 hand inked lines and hand-painted each of the cels in the edition with 27 Disney-approved acrylic colors, plus 3 air brush effects and 1 dry brush effect. Disney artists have created the background scene accompanying this cel. It is not an original production background. However, original layouts, sketches and frames from the film were used as reference. Color Service has lithographically printed the resulting artwork on premium - quality acid free paper. As a finishing touch, Joe Grant has signed each piece in the edition to commemmorate his role in the production of the original film segment. Mr. Grant is not the artist of he piece.
