(Walt Disney Studios, 1940) Rare original watercolor production painting featuring Pinocchio and a Russian puppet from Pinocchio, done for a De Beukelaer's Cookies sticker promotion, accomplished on a 5 x 3.5 sheet affixed to a same-size mount. The superb artwork shows Pinocchio as a marionette, dancing with a Russian puppet. In fine condition.This original painting was produced as part of a set of 120 to make stickers to be included in boxes or tins of De Beukelaer cookies produced and sold in Belgium, which were collected by customers and pasted into a storybook album. These special paintings were painted by the top Disney artists located in England, who had been handpicked by Walt Disney. All the art was painted to model using Disney model sheets and instructions coming from the Disney Publicity Department in Burbank, California. The artwork then had to be approved by the studio, and, of course, Walt Disney himself.
