The image captures the essence of the character's larger-than-life personality and showcases the intricate details of the animation process. Model sheets were distributed to all the animators while working on the film to ensure consistency among the artists.

The year of production adds a layer of historical significance to the piece, making it a true gem in any collection of vintage Disneyana.
