It's an interesting item -- a sheet of Disney stationery. Not animation art, but an interesting piece to have in the collection. What I thought was a little odd was the printing at the bottom of the page "Walt Disney Enterprises Successor to Walt Disney Productions, Ltd..."

"Snow White" (1937) [Series] - Snow White Reel Survey

A series of postings of "Snow White" items in the Cowan Collection [click here to see the contact sheet of the items in the postings].

Here is one of my favorite items from the Ingeborg Willy Scrapbook -- a copy of a survey she completed after watching a Snow White sequence...

One of the things that struck me was that the survey was more in line with what we might see today -- not in 1937. I thought it was pretty innovative.

I thought that her comments that Snow White breaths "too dramatically" during the scene in the woods with the Huntsman was interesting.

I uploaded a larger than usual image so that you could better read Willy's comments.

"Snow White" (1937) [Series] - PhotoParade and Publicity Still

A series of postings of "Snow White" items in the Cowan Collection [click here to see the contact sheet of items in the postings].

A great article from PhotoParade!

As I looked at the article today, I realized that the Comparative Size Model Sheet featured in the newspaper article was the same as a publicity still I have from 1936 (shown below).

Frankly, I don't know how Dave Smith and the rest of the crew at Disney Archives keeps track of all their millions of items. I think my database work on the collection has been a real plus, but maybe there is some museum class on database construction I should have taken...

Following the Publicity Still is the rest of the publication. Frankly, it's my favorite because you can see the faces of those that were the voices in the movie AND you can see some of the similarities between the actors and the movie characters... NOTE: be sure and check out the photos of Pinto Colvig (more widely known as the voice of Goofy).

"Snow White" (1937;1998) [Series] - Adriana Caselotti Signed Picture

A series of postings of "Snow White" items in the Cowan Collection [click Here to see the contact sheet of items in the postings].

Here is a nice little historical piece -- a Disney produced image of Snow White signed by Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow White.

Caselotti (1916-1997) has a very distinctive voice. So distinctive in fact that (according to Wikipedia) Disney went to great lengths to make sure that she was not heard in the media of the time (see the notes from Wikipedia below). Frankly, I was saddened by the story. Her parents were opera singers and I'm sure she was thrilled at her "big break" into the movies -- only to have her career cut short. Ah, well... The same situation exists today with the folks that provide the very distinctive voices for cartoons like "The Simpsons," etc.

Note that Caselotti died in 1997 and this item was purchased in early 1998.

Wikipedia: Adriana Caselotti (May 16, 1916 - January 19, 1997) was an American actress and singer. She was the voice of Snow White in Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In the mid-1930s, Adriana Caselotti was hired by Walt Disney to help cast parts in his new film. She was blacklisted by Disney after the film-he did not want her to appear in any other films following Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Jack Benny specifically mentioned that he had asked Walt Disney for permission to use her on his radio show and was told, "I'm sorry, but that voice can't be used anywhere. I don't want to spoil the illusion of Snow White." The only other work she did following her premiere was an uncredited role in The Wizard of Oz, as the voice of Juliet during the Tin-Man's song, "If I Only had a Heart".

She did, however, do a few promotional spots for Snow White, signing memorabilia. In 1973, she appeared on an episode of The Julie Andrews Hour saluting the music of Walt Disney, singing I'm Wishing with Julie Andrews. She also made a guest appearance on the syndicated Mike Douglas show. Later in her life, she sold autographs. She also made an attempt at an opera career. In the early 1990s, when the Snow White Grotto at Disneyland was refurbished, Caselotti re-recorded "I'm Wishing" for the Snow White Wishing Well at the age of 75.

"Snow White" (1937; 1994) [Series] - Commemorative VHS Tape Litho

A series of postings of "Snow White" items in the Cowan Collection [click Here to see the contact sheet of items in the postings].


While not necessarily "antique," this 1994 lithograph that came with the special "Snow White" video tape does reflect the early stages of Disney's interest in the animation art market. In the 1980's, Disney art was appearing in many of the larger auction houses and the art was pulling some pretty large dollars. In 1987, we picked up Disney's first "Limited Edition" (500 in the series) from "Fantasia." Other LEs followed. Then we saw the introduction of Sericels and production runs of 2,000+.

If I remember right, we had to order the tape in advance. Go to the store to pick it up. Then someone went into the back and returned with the Lithograph. It certainly gave the impression that it was "special."

This "suitable for framing" litho is actually quite nice looking -- very good color saturation, nice action and good character expressions.

"Snow White" (1937;1983) [Series] - Snow White Sunday

A series of postings of "Snow White" items in the Cowan Collection [click Here to see the contact sheet of items in the postings]

Let me start the posting of "Snow White" material in the collection with a piece that left for auction a couple of days ago...

This is really a great scene to have -- the sequence where the Huntsman pulls the knife to kill Snow White, but has a change of heart. From a character standpoint, you have the Queen with the great "Silence" line, a great evil look, the Hunstman's evil and ashamed looks, Snow White with her innocent look, the loss of innocence and the final despair as she runs to the woods not knowing what she will find...

It is interesting that you have this kind of dramatic scene so early in the film. From my perspective, many of the Disney films have the "edge of the seat" moments later in the film. Frankly, having this unexpected near-death experience for Snow White take place early in the film probably heightened the overall dramatic nature...

There isn't a year on the sheet, but it would appear that it was scheduled to run on April 3rd. I just don't have the reference material to figure out the year of publication...

NOTE: I received a note from Joakim Gunnarsson on the date:

Hi!
Actually this is from 1983. It ran from March 13 to June 26.
Probably written by Carl Fallberg with art by Richard Moore.

"Lady and The Tramp" (1955) - Collection Series

I've just finished posting the images of the "Lady and the Tramp" items in the collection.

Here's a contact sheet of the items to be found below... Enjoy!

[Click to Enlarge]

"Lady and The Tramp" (1955) [Series] - "Bella Notte" Setup

Part of the "Lady and the Tramp" series in the Cowan Collection [click Here to see all the images].


OK. Here's the last item we have in the collection from "Lady and the Tramp" -- a nice piece from the "Bella Notte" sequence.

To put this in perspective, about 25 years ago I had been laid off, Jenny had quit work a few months earlier to stay at home with our new daughter and I was trying to start a consulting company. We were trying to hold onto what little savings was in the bank and we decided to subscribe to the new "Disney Channel" on our cable system.

Shortly after we signed up, we started to receive the Disney Store Catalog. On the back of the cover page was a short blurb offering the opportunity to purchase an original cel from "Winnie the Pooh." Pooh had a special meaning to the two of us because I had read some passages from "Winnie the Pooh" on our first date. We really didn't know much about cels and talked a little about the process. Then we went back to watching the show.

Jenny decided that getting a "Pooh" cel for my 40th birthday in 1985 would be a great idea and robbed the "Penny Jar" to come up with enough money. When Jenny called Disney to place the order, she was told that they had sold out, but gave her the name of man and wife dealer that sold animation art. Long story short, it was a special birthday and the start of decades of collecting...

A short time after my birthday we were watching some Disney program that featured scenes from "Lady and the Tramp." Just after seeing the "Bella Notte" scene we turned to each other and said "Wouldn't that be a great cel to have!" Jenny called the woman she had dealt with and excitedly told her about our interest in the scene. As Jenny started to describe the scene, Jenny could hear the woman on the other end of the long distance call start to chuckle. The woman apologized and explained that it was one of the most sought after scenes and extremely rare. Jenny and I let out a collective sigh and didn't think too much of it.

Over the years (before the "internets"), we would check out the auction catalogs for various pieces and always let dealers know of our interest in the scene. In 2004, I received a call from a dealer that had found someone with 6-7 "Bella Notte" items and the dealer wondered if I was still interested in picking up a piece.

Now, we have a "Bella Notte" piece! It isn't the moment when the noses touch, but I like it because it's the moment when you and I suddenly realize what is about to happen -- long before Lady and Tramp figure it out!

Cels of Lady, Tramp, Table and Master Background

Now, here is the frame grab from the film. Notice change in the background, the positioning of the table cloth, etc. I should point out that the final image on the film can be different than the original art if, for creative decisions, the Director wants a different color configuration or brightness level.


Here's the sequence in sketch form found on page 101 of "Too Funny For Words" by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston (1987).


Finally, here is the art framed...

----- ADDING TO THE SALE ----- : Photo Signed by Walt Disney

Well, the folks from Heritage Auctions were at the house yesterday going over the Comic Art and Artifacts from the Space Program that I'll be putting up. One of the items that I decided to add to the items that will auctioned off is the photograph that Walt Disney gave to Ingeborg Willy in 1937, the woman from the Pen & Ink Department responsible for the wonderful Scrapbook I often cite here. It's a great shot of Walt in what is sometimes called a "Hollywood Pose."

We put the photo is a very elegant frame that gives some great "weight" to the shot. Sorry about the color shift to blue. The scan above is color-correct...

----- STAR TREK ITEMS -----

OK. After watching the new Star Trek movie, I'm going to break from the "Lady and the Tramp" Series and post up the items in our collection dealing with Star Trek. I must admit, I often wonder if there is anything I DON'T collect.....


Most of the items here are from the Forrest J. Ackerman Estate. Ackerman, who coined the phrase "Sci-Fi," was an avid collector of all things Science Fiction. His "Ackermansion" was a Mecca for those interested in the field. Due to some health issues and the failure of an individual to pay Ackerman after a successful legal action, he was forced to sell some of this collection at auction -- which is how I come to own the items...

Here are some notes on the items below: (1) The Communicator is a classic and a fairly rare find -- the case actually flips open; (2) The models are great looking and are highly detailed on the top and bottom; (3) The "Tribble" is fantastic, but it isn't from the show -- Roddenberry had a number made for him which he gave out to friends and this is the one he gave to Ackerman; (4) 1968 script -- a great example of an early script for the show; (5) The "Writer's Guide" is absolutely wonderful -- several hundred pages describing the show's philosophy, recapping episodes and providing detailed descriptions of the technology of the ship and I've included several pages that are well worth reading!!!!
