A framed limited edition hand-painted cel showing the famous "Bella Notte" moment from Walt Disney's Lady and the Tramp (1955). This cel was released by The Walt Disney Company in 1991 and shows the iconic moment Lady and the Tramp fall in love over a plate of spaghetti. To achieve the limited edition cels, Disney artists transferred original animation drawings onto acetate cels, enhanced detailing by hand-drawing ink lines, and then hand-painted the artwork using approved acrylic colours. The printed background was also recreated using the original paintings, sketches, and frames as reference. This example was one of 500 editions created, with this example being numbered "401/500" and bearing a Walt Disney Company seal in the lower right corner. It comes mounted within a metal frame with plexiglass and features a hanging wire on the reverse.

Additional Information: Numbered #401/500.
