Description: A magnificent cel setup inspired by Sequence 3.1 Scene 25 of Disney's 28th animated feature, highlighting the lovely mermaid princess, Ariel, at the iconic climax of the famous song, as she longs to be part of the human world!

This color model cel was created at Disney's world-famous Ink and Paint Department located on the Disney Studio lot in Burbank, and then later distributed by The Animated Animations Company, LLC in New York. Due to the fact that only one or two color models/proofs are typically created for sericels, with one of which is always archived with the publisher, these are very rare parts of labor-intensive process that goes into creating a sericel and amazing pieces of art with a quality and execution that simply was not possible in screen-used production cels!

Vendor: Walt Disney
