RARE Disney ORIGINAL FINAL PRODUCTION DRAWING

featuring 'Mickey Mouse'

from the 1935 Disney Production

of 'Mickey's Service Station'

The animation made from this drawing is at the 3 minute mark of this feature

Absolutely should be framed!

This original final animation production drawing of Mickey Mouse was created by a Disney animator in development of a scene in Walt Disney's 1935 BW feature cartoon. The animator wrote the designation "170A" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene. It is done in pencil on a 12 field untrimmed animation sheet.
Jack Kinney was the animator in charge of this scene (please see copy of original Disney index card where this scene is the last one listed at the bottom). Kinney joined many other legendary Disney animators on this BW feature including Woolie Reitherman, Milt Kahl, Art Babbitt, Bill Tytla and Eric Larson. Index card located at The Encyclopedia of Disney Animated Shorts.
This is the next to last Disney cartoon done in BW and the first to establish Mickey, Donald and Goofy as a team. Walt Disney himself is the voice of Mickey and the cartoon was directed by Ben Sharpsteen.

Jack Kinney

Kinney began his long career in cartoons at the Walt Disney Studios in 1931 as an animator on several shorts, including Santa's Work Shop (released on December 10, 1932), The Band Concert (released on February 23, 1935), and Moose Hunters (released on April 17, 1937). He then became a director of cartoons at Disney, including as a sequence director for both Pinocchio and Dumbo and especially as a director in the shorts department, where he directed many cartoon shorts, mostly those starring Goofy (his brother Dick created the stories for the shorts), although he also directed a few Donald Duck cartoons as well, including the Academy Award-winning wartime propaganda film, Der Feuhrer's Face. He also served as director of most of the "package films" during the 1940s. In the mid-1950s, he supervised new animation used to tie some of the old shorts together for Disney's television efforts.

In 1957, after Kinney left Disney he started, with another Disney alum, Hal Adelquist, Kinney-Adelquist Productions, Inc., an independent animation studio. Among other work they provided animation for King Features Syndicate's 1960 Popeye series.

Kinney also directed the 1959 UPA film 1001 Arabian Nights starring Mr. Magoo.

In 1988, Kinney published a short memoir, Walt Disney and Assorted Other Characters: An Unauthorized Account of the Early Years at Disney's. Kinney died on February 9, 1992 in Glendale, Ca. at the age of 82.
