Rare original production cel featuring Mickey Mouse and Chip the chipmunk in a wintry scene from the short film Squatter’s Rights. Boldly signed on the mat by Walt Disney. Produced in Technicolor by Walt Disney Productions and directed by Jack Hannah, the animated short film Squatter’s Rights premiered in theaters on June 7, 1946. The story centered on a confrontation between Mickey Mouse’s dog Pluto and chipmunks Chip and Dale who had taken up residence in Mickey’s hunting shack. The short film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 19th Academy Awards, but ultimately lost to The Cat Concerto, an MGM Tom and Jerry film, which shared one of 7 Oscars for the Tom and Jerry series. Matted and framed. The entire piece measures 16.25 inches by 17.25 inches. Rare and desirable featuring Disney’s most recognizable character.

A national cultural icon, his innovative spirit and vision revolutionized the genre of animated cartoons, making them a major part of mainstream popular entertainment. Founded as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio in 1923 and incorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929, Walt Disney Animation Studios has produced 57 feature films. For much of its existence, the studio was recognized as the premier American animation studio; it developed many of the techniques, concepts and principles that became standard practices of traditional animation.
