Welcome to our first auction of 2022. Thank you all for continuing to support us through this changing world, and a special thank you to our wonderful consignors for contributing to the fantastic selection of Disney artifacts and Park memorabilia featured in this catalog. I am particularly excited for you to browse the amazing animation artwork and rare Disneyland signage that we have brought together for this auction.

INTRO

This catalog offers a historic journey through The Walt Disney Studios and Disneyland, with a diverse representation of Walt’s life, work, and legacy. We begin in 1923 when Walt first came to Los Angeles and go on to chronicle a number of the Studio’s struggles and successes over the years, many of which resulted in some of the greatest characters and stories of our generation. I hope these pages provide you with fascinating new details about these timeless works and only further enhance your own memories tied to Walt, the Studio, and the Parks.

Spring is a season of growth and renewal, and that is very much the case here at Van Eaton Galleries. After 27 years at our location in Sherman Oaks, California, I am tremendously proud and excited to announce we have officially outgrown the space. In the coming months, we will be moving to a new and much larger facility in nearby Studio City. While quite the undertaking for our team, this will allow us to bring you larger exhibits and auctions, as well as an expanded yearround retail gallery space. I look forward to welcoming you into our new location soon.

In the meantime, please enjoy this catalog and the wide array of items within. If you are local to our Gallery, I hope you can stop by during the exhibit hours to see these incredible pieces in person. Being surrounded by so many key artifacts from throughout the history of The Walt Disney Studios and Disney Parks is truly an amazing experience.

From myself, and our incredible staff that has helped create this catalog, we offer you our sincere thanks for your support, and hope you enjoy the auction.

Walt’s career in animation had very humble beginnings. Eager to make his mark, he arrived in Los Angeles in 1923 and set up a make-shift studio in his uncle’s garage. Despite several early setbacks, including the loss of his character Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Walt soon began to gain significant momentum. He opened The Walt Disney Studio on Hyperion Avenue in 1926 and debuted his new character, Mickey Mouse, two years later. Mickey-mania ensued, as popular Mickey Mouse Clubs formed at theater chains across the United States and a wide range of licensed Disney merchandise was produced worldwide. This provided a healthy revenue stream that allowed the Studio to continue creating Mickey and Silly Symphony shorts, and further emboldened Walt, who set his sights on developing the first feature-length animated film: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

1. Original Wood Sections from Walt Disney’s First Studio. (Disney, 1923) A glass container of small wood sections from Walt Disney’s garage animation studio in Los Angeles. The garage workshop is often credited as Walt’s first animation studio. In addition to their significance in the life of Walt, these wood sections once belonged to Disney Legend Sam McKim. Included with the wood sections is a “Sam McKim: A True Disney Legend” postcard and a 2002 copy of Sketches Magazine featuring an article about the garage. Measuring 3”x1”, the glass container of wood sections is in very good condition, bearing an adhered label reading “Walt Disney’s First Studio Authentic Wood 0155.” $200-$400

2. Walt Disney Studio Application & Employment Documents. (Disney, c.1926-39) An extremely rare Walt Disney Studio application & related employment documents from the earliest days of the Studio. The documents comes with the original postmarked Walt Disney Studio envelope. The packet is addressed to Mr. E. Simon of Chicago, Illinois, who was inquiring about a position with the Studio. The envelope and ephemera bear the Hyperion Avenue address. The collection includes an unsigned letter of application, George H. Drake’s studio response letter, a 3-page document expounding on animator qualifications, a “Problem” questionnaire, and an application for employment. Measuring between 8.5”x11” and 8.5”x14”, the documents are in fine condition while exhibiting some toning, wear along the original folds, and minor wear to the edges and corners. $500-$1,000

3. “Ozzie of the Mounted” Production Background.

(Disney, 1928) A hand-painted production background created for the short, “Ozzie of the Mounted.” Its star, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, was an immediate hit with audiences, though the character was hardly lucky for Disney. Producer Charles Mintz was able to quickly secure a contract for the Oswald series with distributor Universal Pictures. With the initial success of the character, Walt approached Mintz for a more profitable payment deal. Mintz rejected the deal and ended their contract with Disney, and production of the Oswald shorts was moved to Winkler Pictures. As such, within a year of Oswald’s debut, Mintz had full control of the character, and successfully poached much of Walt’s animation staff. As a result, only 27 of 190 Oswald shorts were Disney made. This original hand-painted background was created during the original Disney period of the character, and is accomplished in pencil, ink, and paint. It depicts a wanted poster for Oswald’s rival Peg-Leg Pete on the hewn log wall of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Headquarters.

Measuring 8.75”x11.25, the production background is in fine condition. Very little original production artwork from this era has survived, making the remaining production artifacts from this nearly 100-year-old film exceptionally rare. $12,000-$15,000

4. Sequence of (5) Production Drawings from “Plane Crazy.” (Disney, 1928) A sequence of (5) Ub Iwerks’ production drawings from “Plane Crazy,” the first Mickey Mouse short. “Plane Crazy,” a silent film, was tested before an audience in May of 1928, making it the first official appearance of Mickey Mouse. The short received a tepid response and Walt went back to the drawing board. With the later advent of synchronized sound, and the subsequent success of “Steamboat Willie” in November 1928, “Plane Crazy” was re-released with sound in March 1929 to greater success. The point-of-view drawings of this sequence depict the driver of an automobile caught unaware by Mickey’s out-of-control barnstorming antics. Each piece ranges in image size from 1.25”x1.5” to 11.75”x9.5” on its 9.5”x12” animation paper. It is in very good condition, exhibiting mild color toning from age, a few creases, and minor wear. $2,000-$4,000

5. The Busy Beavers Production Background & Recreated Cel. (Disney, 1931) An extremely rare original hand-painted production background from the Disney Silly Symphony, “The Busy Beavers.” The background is accompanied by an original production drawing and a professionally recreated cel made from the drawing. The original forest background shows the beautiful contrasting tones, tints, and highlights typical of the era of black and white short film production. The cel has an image size of 2”x6.5” on its 12.5”x10.5” cel sheet. The drawing has an image size of 2”x6.5” on its 9.5”x12” animation paper. The background measures 9.5”x11.75” on its animation paper. The original background is in very fine condition with a few small spots of discoloration. $3,000-$5,000

6. Original Mickey Mouse Comic Strip by Floyd Gottfredson.

(Disney, 1932) An exceptionally rare original hand-drawn Mickey Mouse comic strip by Floyd Gottfredson. The very first Mickey Mouse comic strip debuted on January 13, 1930. Walt Disney himself wrote the earliest strips and animator Ub Iwerks provided the illustrations.

Soon after, Walt turned to Gottfredson, one of his Studio animation “in-betweeners,” to helm the comic strip project. Gottfredson would go on to draw Mickey Mouse comic strips for 45 years. In this original strip, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse attempt to escape a mutiny aboard the “Good Ship Potluck,” during part of the “Treasure Island” serial that was originally published from May 16 to November 11, 1932. The artwork has been hand-drawn by Gottfredson, with the story attributed to Webb Smith. The strip bears the early “Walter E. Disney Enterprises” copyright notation applied in the lower-left corner, and an ink “Walt Disney” signature which is also attributed to Gottfredson as part of the strip artwork. The piece has a 6”x27” mat opening within its 12”x32.75” wooden frame. The framed artwork is in very fine condition, exhibiting a few smudges and small spots of discoloration. Any example of Mickey Mouse comic strip art is exceptionally rare, however such an early strip as this, featuring both Mickey and Minnie, is near impossible to find. $20,000-$30,000

(Disney, c.1930s-40s) A rare unlicensed “Mickys Voice” violin string manufactured in Germany amidst the Mickey Mouse Mania that swept the globe during the era.

13. Mickey Mouse “World Fair 1933” Pocket Knife. (Unknown, 1970s) An infamous souvenir pocket knife featuring Mickey Mouse.

These knives appeared in the collector’s market around the 1970s and are marked as if they were sold at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair.

However, the Mickey Mouse image on the knife is a more modern version that would not have been used in 1933, and perhaps the most telling detail is that World’s Fair is misspelled as “World Fair.” Despite the unusual history of these knives, they are actually quite desirable among collectors and have earned a unique place in Disneyana history.

Walt proudly led his Studio staff into performing civic service toward their Country during the second World War. While many artists fought on the front line, numerous educational films like “Victory Through Air Power” were produced to further help the war effort. The Studio’s Illustration Department also made visual contributions toward safety and training manuals for the United States Air Force, instructional guides elucidating the definitions of propaganda, and even imagery for United States War Bond Certificates. As did many companies during this difficult time, the Studio incurred massive debts during the war, which led to the creation of lower budget and package films including Saludos Amigos, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, Make Mine Music, and Song of the South, which featured segments blending live action with animation.

Amid rising production costs and diminishing box office returns, the Studio was on the verge of bankruptcy by 1948. As a result, Walt was forced to give priority to one of three feature-length films currently in development. Struck by its similarities to Snow White, Walt assigned the Studio’s top animation talent to Cinderella and greenlit the project. The critical decision paid off, as the film’s box office performance and subsequent merchandise sales helped fund the animated productions of Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, as well as live action efforts like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Midway through the decade, Walt began to turn his attention toward television production. This bold era for the Studio saw the debut of the Disneyland anthology series, notably introducing the Davy Crockett miniseries in its first season, along with The Mickey Mouse Club variety show.

99. Cinderella Concept Painting by Mary Blair. (Disney, 1950) An original concept painting by Color Stylist Mary Blair for Cinderella.

Walt Disney chose Blair as the color stylist for Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and several theatrical shorts. It was her conceptual work and styling that set the tone for the first three features for the studio in the 1950s. Her early concepts are considered by many collectors to be some of the most desirable and important artwork to come out of the Studio. This concept for Cinderella is accomplished in gouache on art board, and explores a key scene from the film. Cinderella is depicted as she is ferried to the Royal Ball aboard a magical pumpkin carriage prepared by her Fairy Godmother.

Disney was attracted to Hall’s old-world European style of painting and felt it was perfect for Peter Pan. Hall created a series of incredible paintings visualizing the story, however, the raging war in Europe and a strike at the Studio caused a halt on the project until the 1950s, when Disney ultimately went in a different direction for the film’s styling and concept.

Walt Disney once said, “From the time I started making motion pictures, I dreamed of bringing Sleeping Beauty to life through the medium of animation.” In 1950, he announced that development of it was underway, and over the nine years until the film’s debut, the film went through several changes in style and story. While the film would eventually blossom into a timeless cinematic classic of visual grace and beauty, the near decade the film spent in development resulted in a remarkable range of production material. Perhaps the most notable of the film’s vastly different artistic approaches were those by Kay Nielsen and Eyvind Earle, both of which are cherished today for their beauty and significance in the Studio’s history.

149. Kay Nielsen Sleeping Beauty Concept Art. (Disney, c.1952-53) A concept pastel drawing by illustrator Kay Nielsen, from the production of Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. A renowned Danish illustrator, Nielsen created artwork for numerous European collections of fairy tales in the 1910s before joining The Walt Disney Company in 1937. While revered for his contributions on many Disney films, particularly Fantasia’s Night on Bald Mountain sequence, Nielsen only worked at the studio for four years. At the request of Art Director Ken Anderson, he returned over a decade later, serving as one of the first artists to develop concept art for Sleeping Beauty. Depicting the three Good Fairies outside the Woodcutter’s Cottage, this Rackhamesque drawing was accomplished in colorful pastels atop black art paper. Because the studio eventually opted to adhere closer to Eyvind Earle’s later concepts for the film’s aesthetic, only a small number of Nielsen’s pieces are known to have survived the production process, with fewer still ever being offered for public sale. The item has an image size of 6”x8” on its 8”x9” paper. The drawing displays in very fine condition, exhibiting the slightest edge wear, with few pinholes at the corners and annotations from intended production use. With his passing in 1957, Nielsen’s work on Sleeping Beauty is among some of the last and most coveted pieces he created. $4,000-$8,000

Walt Disney’s penchant for technological innovation can clearly be seen in the 1982 sci-fi classic, Tron. While only a small portion of the film extensively uses computer-generated imagery, (in fact the term CGI wasn’t regularly used until after its release) Tron is rightfully celebrated as a technological marvel. The film’s unique look was primarily accomplished through Ektachrome continuous-tone transparency layers. The actors and sets in Tron were first photographed in black-and-white, then continuous-tone transparency layers were made by enlarging the 70-mm film negatives.

The animation principles of Disney’s “Nine Old Men” have inspired untold numbers of artists, including a young animator named John Lasseter. John showcased his two-minute computer generated “Luxo, Jr.,” before the SIGGRAPH conference in 1986. That groundbreaking film led to “Tin Toy” in 1988, to which Pixar owes its first Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.

Pixar would later collaborate with Disney to distribute its earliest feature films like Toy Story and Monsters, Inc., and later became a part of The Walt Disney Studios in 2006.

To help Walt Disney’s dreams become reality, it took a varied group of artists and individuals, each with unique creative talents. Few Studio artists and Imagineers have had as unique of a style and approach as Disney Legend Rolly Crump. Since his first association with the Walt Disney Studios in 1952, Rolly began to learn from the impressive talents of Eric Larson, Mary Blair, Eyvind Earle, and many others, all the while making numerous contributions toward Walt Disney’s animated features, as well as attractions for both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Some of Rolly’s most recognized artistic contributions were for attractions including the Enchanted Tiki Room, Haunted Mansion, and It’s a Small World. In his earlier years at the Studio, Rolly experimented with a number of “Beatnik” movement posters, as seen in this section. These posters beautifully depict Rolly’s style and humor, and survive as a testament to one of the most endearing creative minds behind the Walt Disney Studios and Disney Parks.

There is no denying that Walt and his Studio Staff loved trains. From “Mickey’s Choo Choo” (1929) to “The Great Locomotive Chase” (1956) a number of locomotives have been featured in Walt Disney Studio short films and feature length films. Like the relationship between ties to rail, many Studio artists were linked by a common passion for railroads and rolling stock. Bill Peet once illustrated a Mickey Mouse Club Magazine article called “Road Engines and Rails” about the precursors to railroad engines, Ward and Betty Kimball traversed the United States on holidays in search of railroad memorabilia for their museum, and Walt Disney Studio Machinist Roger Broggie would help produce Walt’s own narrow gauge Carolwood Pacific Railroad, and its Lilly Belle locomotive.

Walt Disney knew that if his park was going to succeed, he would need to surround himself with talented and creative individuals who could turn his dream into a reality. Since its founding in 1952, WED Enterprises and its Imagineers have been utilized to develop Disneyland attractions and entertainment, as well as shows for the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair.

328. Herb Ryman Disneyland Castle Concept Painting. (Disney, c.1954) An incredible early concept painting for the Disneyland Castle by Disney Legend Herb Ryman. Ryman began his career at the Disney Studio in 1938, serving as an art director for such feature-length animated classics as Fantasia and Dumbo. However, it was his work for the Disney Parks that became a cornerstone of his Disney career. It was in 1953 that Walt Disney called on his friend Herb to sketch the original design for Disneyland, launching a new direction of his artistic legacy. Ryman became one of the first “Imagineers,” putting Walt’s ideas for the design of his park into conceptual drawings and paintings. This original Sleeping Beauty Castle concept was a necessary step in the design and construction of Disneyland, and survives as an incredible artifact of Disney Parks history. Ryman was also a gifted teacher and mentor to many younger artists and designers. In the 1960s, he personally gave this original painting to his student and friend, Steve Shubin. Ryman’s inscription at the bottom-left reads “One of the Preliminary Concept Designs for the Disneyland Castle-Herbert Ryman.” Accomplished in acrylic, pencil, and marker on 19”x15.5” artist’s board, the image depicts Walt’s early vision for the centerpiece of his Park. Only a handful of Ryman’s Castle concepts have been offered for public sale, making this an extremely rare and important part of Disneyland history. The painting is in fine condition with minimal wear along the edges. There is a Walt Disney Productions copyright stamp in the bottom-right corner. $20,000-$30,000

Walt Disney was convinced that the success of the park was dependent on having a quality hotel next to Disneyland. In 1954, Walt met Jack Wrather, a successful businessman who was looking to expand into the hotel business, and a partnership was made. The Disneyland Hotel remained under Wrather’s control until 1988, when the Walt Disney Company purchased the entire Wrather Corporation, and with it, claimed ownership of the Hotel. The Hotel has gone through several changes over the years, and as the park has expanded, newer, more modern facilities have been built.

Tomorrowland was to be a living blueprint of the future, with artists like Herb Ryman, Bjorn Aronson, and John Hench helping contribute towards Walt Disney’s vision of tomorrow. From its earliest attractions such as Monsanto’s Hall of Chemistry and the Rocket to the Moon, to later favorites including the PeopleMover, Space Mountain, and Star Tours, Tomorrowland has continued to inspire countless guests to look forward to a bigger and brighter future.

Much of the earliest conceptual and design work for Tomorrowland was created by Herb Ryman, a 20th Century Fox set designer who had been hired by Walt Disney during September of 1953.

Many “suggestions” (as Herb called them) were submitted for aspects of the land, including the Tomorrowland Entrance, Clock of the World, House of the Future, Rocket Pylon, and even a monorail system with suspended trains. Ryman’s Tomorrowland work represents some of the earliest Disneyland concepts, created while Walt’s ideas for the land were still expanding and developing. They survive as true artifacts of Disneyland history.

As Disneyland continued to develop, some of Herb’s depicted quick sketch “suggestions” evolved into definite visual elements like the “Avenue of Flags” that enhanced the show quality of the entryway to Tomorrowland. Measuring approximately 13”x32.25”, the large drawing is mounted on artist’s board. The piece is in very good condition, exhibiting mild color toning and areas of discoloration from age, and minor wear from use. $8,000-$12,000

When Imagineers began developing a second theme park for Walt Disney World in the 1970s, they drew on the futuristic themes of Walt’s EPCOT plans that would grow into a World Showcase of international cultures and promises of the Future World of Tomorrow.

22. Rescission of Sale of Lot: Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale of any lot in the event of non-payment, disputed ownership, clerical error, clerical omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason in the auctioneer’s sole and absolute discretion.

23. Lots Sold After Auction: In some cases lots will be sold after the auction. The Terms and Conditions apply to those sales as well.

24. Payment in Dollars: All sales are strictly for cash; and payment must be made in United States Dollars.

25. Amount of Payment: All deliveries, and transfers of title, are subject to the full payment of all monies due for the lot, including the payment of the separate Buyer's Premium. The Buyer's Premium shall be 18% of the highest successful recognized bid for inperson, phone, or absentee bidding; 21% for bids placed through internet platforms. Auctioneer retains the Buyer's Premium as its own property.

26. Payment Terms: Payment is due upon the closing of the auction sessions, or upon presentation of an invoice. If payment in full is not received within (7) calendar days after the close of the auction, or within (5) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later, the auctioneer may in its sole and absolute discretion, void the sale. If the sale is voided for non-payment the successful bidder shall still owe the auctioneer its fees. Sales tax will be collected from any successful bidder unless the appropriate certificate is on file with the auctioneer at least five business days before the first date set for the auction. If the successful bidder choses to send an “echeck”, electronic funds transfer, or ACH payment, and it does not clear, the bidder authorizes the auctioneer to use the credit card on file. If payment is not made the auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot to any under-bidder or in any future auction; any difference in the realized proceeds shall be the responsibility of the non-paying successful first bidder.

VAN E ATON G ALLERIE S PRE SENT S 27. Pick Up, Shipping, and Insurance Concerns: It is the Buyer's responsibility to pick up the lot being purchased, or make arrangements at his own cost, for packing, shipping, and handling. It is the Buyer's duty and obligation to insure the lot from the date that title transfers to the successful Bidder, i.e., upon the receipt of full payment by the Auctioneer (the "TRANSFER DATE").

Risk of loss passes to the Buyer on the TRANSFER DATE. Delivery costs and insurance during delivery are the responsibility of the Buyer. Frames are sold as-is. Auctioneer is not responsible for damage to a framed item during shipment. Such breakage shall not be the basis for return for any lot. All items must be shipped, or will be held for pick-up at a time when deemed permissible by local regulations pertaining to the Covid-19 virus.

28. Interest: Any unpaid invoice will bear interest at the highest rate allowed by California law.

29. Attorney’s Fees: In the event that it in necessary for the auctioneer to employ an attorney the successful Bidder agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

30. Security Interest Granted: The successful Bidder grants a security interest in the lot being sold to secure the payment of the invoice. The successful bidder grants a possessory lien as well to the auctioneer. Auctioneer shall have the rights granted under Article 9 of the California Commercial Code including but not limited to the right of sale.

31. No Warranties: NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION IN THE CATALOGUE OR ON THE DAY OF AUCTION. Descriptions are only being presented for the benefit of those bidders who have not had the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding and no description in the catalogue shall create any warranty. Color variations are to be expected and are not the basis for any return of any lot. Auctioneer is only selling the right, title, and interest of any lot that has been consigned to the Auctioneer by virtue of any consignment agreements. The Auctioneer disclaims any warranty of fitness or merchantability.

32. Disclaimer of Damages; Sole Remedies: Auctioneer disclaims any damages, consequential or otherwise. Auctioneer shall not be responsible for consequential damages, incidental damages, compensatory damages, or any other damages. Up to the date that the auctioneer pays the consignor (45 days after the close of the auction sessions), and in the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver a lot, or if it is established that the lot lacks title, or some other transfer or condition issue is claimed, the sole remedy of the Bidder up to a date six months after the close of the auction sessions shall be the rescission of the sale and the refund of any amount paid by the Buyer. After the consignor is paid by the auctioneer the sole remedy of the Buyer is against the consignor, and vice versa.

33. Statements are Opinions: In consideration of participation in the auction, and the placing of a bid, Bidder expressly releases auctioneer, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, outside experts, and attorneys the (”RELEASEES”) from any and all claims, causes of action, in law or in equity, direct or indirect, known or unknown that he/she/it may have with respect to the auction, the catalogue, the conduct of the auction, or the lots being purchased. By not complying with the terms of this Release, Bidder waives any and all claims against the RELEASEES. A bidder or buyer acknowledges that there is a risk that subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, one or more of them will discover facts or will discover, suffer, or incur claims and/or damages relating to the subject matter of this release, which were unknown or unanticipated at the time of the auction, which, if known on that date may have materially affected their respective decisions to give the herein release. Despite this knowledge and understanding, each bidder and buyer agrees that it is assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated facts and claims, and in connection herewith, each hereby expressly waives any and all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which section has been explained to and is understood by each party and which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

34: Arbitration: By placing a bid in the auction, a Bidder agrees to the dispute resolution set forth herein. All disputes shall be arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles County, California. Costs shall be split equally among all parties.

This replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial.

35. Prohibited Activities: Any agreement between consignors and bidders to sell by private sale any lot, or to effect a non-sale of an item at auction is prohibited and auctioneer reserves the right to collect from the bidder the Buyer’s Premium.

36. Special Notice: Auctioneer has in compliance with Title 2.95 of the California Civil Code, Section 1812.600 posted with the California Secretary of State a bond.
