This Set-up is complete with the Art Corner Gold Label on the back. Specially created Custom backgroundCel paint in in great condition. When we received it, it was just matted over a plain little blue matt-board. Kinda boring, so I recreated a model sheet background of Donald in various poses, and slide it behind the image of Donald. I really love how this looks. Very unique. A certain prize for any Donald fan. Color of the background slightly tinted to make it look vintage, but it\'s a brand new print. Background can be removed and replaced with something else. Perhaps you have a custom image you\'d like to use?

Brief HISTORY of the Disneyland Art Corner Shop

In 1955, the year Disneyland opened, in a section of Tomorrowland there was a area now long gone called “The Art Corner” which sold Disney animation cels from films such as Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, Mickey Mouse Club and cels from various shorts. The place was full of bins of cels that customers could paw through at will (yes, that\'s how it was described to me by someone who was there, and bought plenty of them)--everything from \"Alice In Wonderland\" to \"Peter Pan\", \"Sleeping Beauty\", numerous TV programs and shorts, etc. These cels were selected by studio artist, from the 1000’s of cels created for a production, based on attractiveness. Cels were the character (s) were Not good looking, were discarded. So only the Best ones were allowed out of the market. Every Art Corner Cel was matted and a Gold Art Corner Label attached to the backing. This label is what makes Art Corner Pieces so valuable.
