  • Walt Disney Studio / Ub Iwerks: Steamboat Willie
    Nov. 29, 2024

    Walt Disney Studio / Ub Iwerks: Steamboat Willie

    Est: €900 - €1,200

    Steamboat Willie Bleistift auf Skizzenpapier. 1928. 24 x 30,3 cm. Unten rechts mit Bleistift bezeichnet "13". Der Beginn eines bahnbrechenden Stückes Animationsgeschichte: Walt Disneys erster Sound-Cartoon "Steamboat Willie" war auch derjenige, der zum ersten Mal die berühmteste Kreation des Studios vorstellte - Mickey Mouse. Die Eröffnungsszene des Films zeigt Mickeys Boot, einen tuckernden Raddampfer. Die vorliegende seltene Animationszeichnung stellt dieses Boot dar und die schwarzen, aus seinem Schornstein puffenden Rauchwolken, daneben auch numerierte Positionsmarkierungen. Dieser Film wurde komplett von Ub Iwerks gezeichnet und von Walt Disney inszeniert. Obwohl zwei frühere Mickey-Cartoons als Stummfilme produziert worden waren, wurden beide zugunsten von Steamboat Willie von der Veröffentlichung zurückgezogen und später mit Soundtracks nachgerüstet. Die Uraufführung fand am 18. November 1928 im New Yorker Colony Theater statt. Im Unterrand mit den originalen Lochungen. - Provenienz: Bonham's, New York, Auktion 23420, 13.06.2016, Lot 94 - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

  • Walt Disney Studio / Ub Iwerks: Steamboat Willie: Peg-Leg Pete
    Nov. 29, 2024

    Walt Disney Studio / Ub Iwerks: Steamboat Willie: Peg-Leg Pete

    Est: €900 - €1,200

    Steamboat Willie: Peg-Leg Pete Bleistift auf Skizzenpapier. 1928. 24 x 30,3 cm. Unten rechts mit Bleistift bezeichnet "450", "F 445" sowie rechts neben der Darstellung "445", verso gestempelt "442". Als Schurke und Erzfeind von Mickey Maus ist er sofort erkennbar: Bedrohlich blickt der mit wenigen sicheren Linien gezeichnete Peg-Leg Pete und erscheint mit den in die Seiten gestützten Armen wie ein Ausbund an feindlicher Energie. Pete (Kater Karlo), der Kapitän des Dampfschiffs in Steamboat Willie, war - damals noch als anthropomorpher Bär - erstmals bereits 1925 in dem Disney-Cartoon Alice Solves the Puzzle zu sehen, also früher als Mickey Maus selber. Er ist damit die älteste heute noch verwendete Disney-Figur. Im Unterrand mit den originalen Lochungen. - Provenienz: Bonham's, New York, Auktion 23420, 13.06.2016, Lot 94 - Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.
