  1. I love original art and cels! Woah, an angry Snow White does not look all that different than the Evil Queen. o.O

    1. I like how you notice those little details Sheryl. She certainly doesn't look that different.

  2. I love these original cels aren't they beautiful? I look forward to seeing the Witch in the next post as she's my favourite Disney Villain along with the Wicked Queen! Can anyone out there answer this please : In the Steven Ison Snow What an art in its making book there is a photograph of an actress dressed as the Wicked Queen seated upon a throne and the book author is unable to identify who she was surely the Disney Archives must know some records must exist somewhere? We now know that Marjorie Belcher played Snow White for the Rotoscope camera so someone must know who played her Wicked Stepmother?

    1. Good to hear from you Wobble. I love looking at original cels, particularly when they are paired with original backgrounds.

      I will certainly do some inquiries on the Evil Queen model.
