(Disney, 1958) An incredibly rare and stunning production cel and background from the Walt Disney Studios animated short “Paul Bunyan.” The cel of Paul Bunyan and Joe Muffaw is from the scene where Paul finds Jow pitching his new chainsaw to the lumberjacks. The characters are trimmed to the image and the character cels applied to a separate cel layer. This cel layer is presented with a production background from the film seen in Joe and Paul’s competition behind Joe using his chainsaw. The background is an original painting by Disney Legend Eyvind Earle, who initialed the background in the lower left margin and hand-signed the piece in the lower right. The piece comes matted and framed with the frame showing some wear. The entire piece measures 19.75” x 23” with the visible image measuring 10” x 13.25”. The cel is in very good condition with some very slight paint damage and cracking, and the background displays in fine condition.
