(Disney, 1940) An extremely rare animator’s maquette of Geppetto from the production of “Pinocchio.” Maquettes such as this one were used by animators as a three-dimensional reference while animating characters. Constructed of plaster and hand-painted in the character model department of the studio, only a handful would be produced and distributed among the animators. Each one was numbered on the bottom, as seen on the bottom of this base, where the numbers “18” and “21” and the studio stamp are visible. Measuring 9” tall on a 3” x 3.75” base, the maquette is in very good condition with light wear from production use.
