ABOUT THE IMAGE: Does Mickey really love Minnie? Does a bear... well, never mind, you know the answer! But in case you weren't sure, here's a very sweet original hand-painted production cel of Mickey Mouse with Minnie, in which the romantic rodents give each other a big smooch! This image was taken from the 1968 celebration of 40 years with Mickey that originally aired on 12/22/1968 as part of the anthology TV series Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color. The episode was directed by Ward Kimball and animated by Les Clark, both Disney Legends and members of Disney's "Nine Old Men", and showcased Mickey's time on the big screen from his debut to his more recent animated shorts and explored the incredible cultural impact that he had made with viewers in the US and around the world.

The cel is a testament to Mickey's popularity then and now and is in good condition with light edge and handling wear and faint paint separation. From the Disney Artist/Producer Joe Hale Archive. Comes with certificate of authenticity.

ABOUT THE MEDIUM:  Original Production Cels are one-of-a-kind pieces of art that were used in the creation of an animated film or television show. Each has been hand-painted by studio artists on a piece of celluloid acetate, and has been photographed over a background painting to create a frame of the finished production.
