Lion King, "Hakuna Matata" Hand-painted Cel, #8/500

Piece: Hakuna Matata: hand-painted character cel.  This is a limited edition, hand-painted character cel from the feature film "The Lion King."  Hand-painted character cels from this move are highly coveted by collectors due to the fact that "The Lion King" was digitally created.  There were no hand-painted production cels used in creating this movie.  Because of the high demand of these collectibles, Disney decided to release only a small number of hand-painted cels created by Disney artists.This is print #8 in a limited edition size of only 500.This is by far one of the most popular scenes in "The Lion King" where Simba, Timon and Pumba first sing "Hakuna Matata."  This hand-painted cel brilliantly recreates that moment.Appraised Value: $2,600.00 Original Retail Price (1995): $2,495.00Approximate Dimensions (in inches)Framed Picture: 17.75 x 22.5 Matte Opening: 11 x 15.75 Additional Information/CommentsSee pictures and COA for details.
