(Disney, 1969) An original production cel of M.C. Bird from “It’s Tough to Be a Bird,” signed with a dedication by Ward Kimball. The Disney Legend and one of Walt’s Nine Old Men won an Academy Award for the direction of the educational short. The red bird has an image size of 2.75” x 3.25” on a slightly-trimmed 10.25” x 12.5” cel. The entire matted piece measures 11” x 14”, with the cel stapled to the backing board. The piece is in good condition with light scratches, stains, wear from production use, and cracks near the staples, which do not affect the image. The matte is in fair condition with scratches, heavy fading, and wear.
