Made in 1953, Walt Disney's Peter Pan was the studio's last ever animated feature film where all nine of the original core animators worked together; described as “Disney’s Nine Old Men” by Walt since their very first film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

A clear sheet of either cellulose nitrate (cel) or acetate onto which the character or characters have been traced and then painted. The most common method is for an animator’s drawing to be inked or xeroxed onto the front of the cel and then painted with colour on the back. Each second of animated film is made up of 24 individual cels which, when combined, create the illusion of life!

Now mounted and framed, this piece is the perfect way to add a sophisticated and muted touch of Disney magic to your home.
