Animation Studios Ink and Paint Department Honors Disney100 with Limited-Edition Cel
There’s no doubt that the majority of fans fell under Disney’s spell because of their love for animation, myself included! Speaking of which, the Animation Studios Ink and Paint Department is honoring Disney’s 100th Anniversary with a Limited Edition Cel featuring Mickey and Minnie!
Walt Disney Animation Studios Ink & Paint Department
The artists of Walt Disney Animation Studios Ink & Paint Department have created something very special for Disney100. Incorporating traditional ink and paint techniques as seen over the past century, they’ve developed a unique piece of art!
Using acrylic colors approved by Disney, based on an original drawing by animator, Eric Goldberg, each cell was hand-painted and inked.
Time Flies: Celebrating 100 Years
The piece is entitled, Time Flies: Celebrating 100 Years. Mickey and Minnie are flying high above Disney Studios of the past and present!
A “100 Years” banner trails behind them. As you can see, the background progressively changes from black and white, to color, symbolizing Disney’s film history.
The three buildings represent Walt Disney Animation Studios’ various locations. Included is The Hyperion Studio on the far left, where Mickey and Minnie Mouse originated!
Next, is the Burbank Lot, constructed post Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Lastly, Mickey and Minnie soar above the “Hat Building,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ current location.
The limited edition was created in 2022. Disney shares that it “is comprised of a general edition of 100, number 1/100 to 100/100.”
You can find this piece of art at Disneyana on Main Street, U.S.A. After entering Disneyland’s Park gates, veer right, and head through the tunnel.
The fantastic treasure trove will be located immediately on your right. Time Flies: Celebrating 100 Years will land at Walt Disney World Resort galleries soon as well.
