WELCOME to our last catalog auction of 2023. It has been a very exciting
year for us here at Van Eaton Galleries, from our move to a larger location to the spectacular Joel Magee Auction. We thank all of you for your support and patronage. This month’s auction contains a wide range of items spanning Popular Culture, the Disney Studio, and Disney Parks. I want to thank all the consignors who have placed their beloved collectibles in our hands. My hope is that they all find new homes and are enjoyed by their new owners for years to come. Be sure to browse the catalog carefully. There are a lot of hidden gems in this sale including spectacular Costume Designs and Props from some of our favorite Hollywood Films to amazing Disney Park artifacts, including stunning original artwork by Disney Legends Charles Boyer and Herb Ryman. Although this is our last catalog auction, our year is not done. Keep an eye out for our December 2nd online-only auction. It is a great opportunity to find that lastminute holiday gift for your favorite collector (or for you!). 2024 is just around the corner. The auction schedule for the year is being finalized as we speak and includes a January online auction, the second Auction of The Joel Magee Collection and a very special auction featuring the estate of legendary animator Bob Clampett. 2024 also marks the 30th Anniversary of Van Eaton Galleries. We hope that you will be able to join us as we mark that milestone throughout the year. Once again, it has been a pleasure working with all the consignors for this auction.

Frank Churchill was one of the earliest Disney composers. Having dropped out of UCLA medical studies to pursue a career in music, he joined the Disney Studio in 1930, scoring many early Mickey shorts and Silly Symphonies. His song “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf” for The Three Little Pigs was a huge commercial success, and his songs for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Dumbo, and Bambi are Disney standards. “Baby Mine” written with Ned Washington for the scene where Dumbo is briefly reunited with his imprisoned Mother, may be the most heart-wrenching moment of any Disney animated film. Sadly, Churchill died at an early age, but his work will entertain and move audiences for generations to come.

As Walt Disney set out to create the world’s first theme park, he surrounded himself with talented and creative people who could turn his dream into a reality. In 1953 he created WED Enterprises as a division to help design and build Disneyland. WED Enterprises later became Walt Disney Imagineering, a combination of “imagination” and “engineering.” Walt’s talented pool of artists became known as “Imagineers,” and it is their original photographs, documents, and other artifacts that provide us with a historical record of the creation of Disneyland.

Throughout the 1930s, Herbert Dickens Ryman worked as a storyboard artist at MGM Studios. Walt Disney first met him at an exhibit of Ryman’s art at the Chouinard Institute in the late 1930s. Impressed, Walt invited him to work at the Studio, where he served as an Art Director on Fantasia and Dumbo. In 1941 Ryman was part of El Grupo, the team of Disney artists who accompanied Walt on a three-month goodwill tour of South America. But Ryman is best known for drawing the first full concept sketch of Disneyland that Roy Disney used to secure financing for the Park. Aside from his film and Imagineering work, Ryman remained a prolific artist all his life, a member of the American Institute of Fine Arts.

Tomorrowland was the last themed land to be built before Disneyland’s opening day, with only a few attractions open due to budget issues and time constraints. In the earliest years, many attractions promoted businesses such as Kaiser Aluminum, Monsanto, and Richfield Oil, and the land felt more like a corporate showcase than a vision for tomorrow. As the years progressed attractions such as Space Mountain, Rocket Jets, and Submarine Voyage, and many more guest favorites were added. Themed toward future technologies, a consistent problem for Tomorrowland has been attractions becoming outdated. Tomorrowland is in its third generation of refurbishments, with the Autopia notably the only attraction that has been there since opening day.

The Art Corner provided a fantastic look into Walt Disney animation that most people simply never had before. Visiting guests saw the techniques used by Disney artists to draw Mickey Mouse and could purchase books on how to draw favorite Disney characters. Most notably, the Art Corner sold original hand-painted cels and artwork that went into the creation of Walt Disney animated cartoons and feature films. Originally, the cels were offered for around a dollar apiece at the Art Corner. The general public grew to see these original pieces of animation history as the cherished relics we now see them as today. Art Corner cels have become widely collectible not just as pieces of animation history, but also for their value as pieces of Disneyland history.

In 1964, Walt Disney Productions began buying up large amounts of land near Orlando Florida, hiding their purchases under shell corporations to avoid speculation. It wasn’t until late 1965 that Walt Disney’s intentions were confirmed, and on November 15, 1965, Walt officially announced plans to build a second Park in Florida, an “East Coast Disneyland.” Although Walt didn’t live to see his visions realized, Roy O. Disney postponed his retirement to helm the project, which began construction in 1967.

Originally conceived by Walt Disney during the early development of Walt Disney World, the Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow, or EPCOT, was an experimental community that would be a center for American innovation and urban living. After Walt died in 1966, the concept was abandoned as the company was uncertain about maintaining and operating an actual city. In the 1970s Imagineers began developing a second theme park for Florida, with the idea of showcasing modern innovation and enterprise through “edutainment” attractions, as well as adding a world nations showcase. The Park was divided into two sections, Future World and World Showcase, and opened in 1982 as EPCOT Center in tribute to Walt’s original vision. In 1994, the Park was renamed Epcot, dropping the acronym and “Center” from the name.
