Studio Model Sheet Print
Negative & "
Reverse-Image"
Rare, Unique piece from the 1940 Film Classic
(Walt Disney, 1940)
You are bidding on an original and rare model sheet print from the production of the 1940 Walt Disney classic "Pinocchio". Printed on photographic paper, this sheet features many different poses of
Jiminy Cricket
. The printed date on this piece looks to be 3-20-39, with the movie being released in 1940.
Dimensions are approximately 14 x 11 inches. C
ondition is Very Good with minor handling wear.
The unique thing about the offered sheet is that not only is the image in negative format, but it is also "flopped" for reverse-viewing. According to Heritage Auction Galleries (where we purchased this item), this was either used as a "proof"
or
to show how Disney drawings must look correctly even when reversed.
A collector would be hard pressed to find another model sheet like this one for this Disney movie classic. In our 20 years of selling Disney collectibles, this is the first time we have come across such an item. A great add to any Disney or Pinocchio collector's collection.
M
odel sheets were used during production (prior to the release) to make the film.  Model sheets are also used to keep things consistent (across animators) through the life of production of a film or show.
Disney's second animated feature film remains a fan-favorite today, and little wonder, as it was an absolutely beautiful movie, filled with laughs and heart-tugging moments.
