They belong in a museum. I don't think I've ever seen any original Disney cels. Especially like that.

omg amazing! i know everyone loves the cindy cel (she's gorgeous by the way) but i think mickey is my fav!

There are relatively few cels in the world that truly deserve to be put in a silver rococo frame and hung in a fine sitting room, where guests sip surprisingly intoxicating beverages and nibble canapes while a string band plays arrangements of popular songs from the late 1940s and early 1950s.

The Mickey obviously needs to be shown less often, protected by a shatter-proof case, to a small group of rowdy and thoroughly intoxicated buddies who will provide their own music, interspersed with rude jokes.

(Like the one about the "Living pictures" tableau that consisted of 8 naked women standing in a line, one facing the audience, one facing away, one . . . er . . . sorry . . . rest of joke needs to be told when everyone is roaring drunk . . .)

Congrats on two museum-quality and historically important acquisitions, star-phoenix. We can only hope that some of the more recent collectables will be as worth having in 60 or so years.

LMAO! sensei, you are way too funny!
I am waiting to get the Mickey back from the framers. They are supposed to put it in some kind of gold/red linen frame. I saw the pictures of the sample. I can't wait to see what he looks like finished! I will post pictures once he is done. I am soooo excited!

Wow, those are amazing! Congratulations on the finds, and for having the fortitude so deal with the suffering it takes to acquire something like that!

Stunning, absolutely stunning. You have some of the most historic and beautiful cels I've ever seen. I can't wait to see what you find next - even if I do have to wait until next year
