MATADOR
FERDINAND THE BULL
(1938)
Rough animation drawing of the Matador, said to be modeled after Walt Disney himself, from this classic Academy Award-winning cartoon short. He is full figure, with a look of disdain and disgust. It is in red pencil and has a notation near his leg: “STRETCH” with an arrow. It is Numbered 48 in the bottom corner, and 55 at the top, probably the final number of the clean-up drawing to come after changes were made. On a full sheet of animation paper 10 x 12”, five-hole punched.
