Walt Disney Animation - Spotlight on Romance Sericel

Sericel including certificate of authenticity

"Spotlight on Romance"

This is a limited edition sericel depicting Walt Disney's beloved and world-famous mice, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, playing out a balcony scene from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

This sericel is a reproduction of a hand-inked and hand-painted animation cel, specially created by The Animated Animations Company and overseen by Disney animation artists. American Atelier from Gardena, California, used this master cel as a reference in the production of these sericels. A total of 13 colors were used to reproduce the color image, each carefully, one color at a time, silkscreened onto the cel.

The Animated Animations Company and Disney supervised the creation of the interpretive background that accompanies this cel. Anderson Printing from Los Angeles, California, lithographically printed the resulting artwork on high-quality, acid-free paper.

The Animated Animations Company released this limited edition in 2003 under license from Walt Disney Art Classics. It consists of a general edition size of 2000 sericels. Walt Disney Art Classics and The Animated Animations Company approve the techniques used in the production of this edition and its proofs. In keeping with fine art printing practice, the silkscreens used to produce the edition are destroyed when the edition is closed.

The hand-inked, hand-painted cel master and background are archived with the publisher. There are no numbered prints in this general edition. There are no additional copies of this image, including proofs, produced in this limited edition, except as necessary to replace pieces within this edition that have been damaged during production or shipping, but with preservation of the listed edition size.
