Disney Storyboard Sketch - Mickey and Minnie from 'The Brave Little Tailor' (1938)

This item is a framed production-style sketch depicting Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in a celebratory embrace from the classic 1938 Walt Disney short film, 'The Brave Little Tailor'. The artwork is rendered on a tan or cream-toned paper using graphite and possibly charcoal or grease pencil. It features dynamic action lines and handwritten onomatopoeia 'SMACK' layered multiple times to indicate kissing sounds, alongside production numbers '39' and '(3)' in the upper right. Minnie is depicted in her princess attire with a conical hennin hat, while Mickey is in his peasant tailor clothing. The characters exhibit the iconic rounded aesthetic of the late 1930s Disney animation style. The piece is matted with a double mat (white with a maroon inner border) and housed in a dark wood frame featuring a beaded inner edge detail. A small printed caption at the bottom reads '© Disney' and 'Original story sketch of Mickey and Minnie from "The Brave Little Tailor" 1938'. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, tears, or fading to the line work. The sketching demonstrates high-quality animation craftsmanship, capturing expressive movement and emotion. Given the printed text at the bottom, this appears to be a high-quality licensed reproduction or a lithograph commemorative piece rather than an original hand-drawn animator's rough used in the actual 1938 production.
