(Walt Disney Studios, 1929) An original production drawing from Walt Disney's The Skeleton Dance. This particular short was animated almost entirely by Disney Legend Ub Iwerks. It was also the first of the popular Silly Symphonies series which, as the name implies, were intended as whimsical accompaniments to pieces of music rather than featuring a reoccuring character. Accomplished in graphite on animation paper, this drawing has a character size of 3.5"x2" within its 12.5"x15.75" frame. The drawing has not been examined out of frame, but appears to be in very good condition. The drawing is attributed to Ub Iwerks. There are faint rough lines for the drawing behind the skeleton's head and in the body, showing his work and the process of animation for this historic animated short.
