Freaky Fridays @ The Haunted Mansion: Three Men in Quicksand, Zorro, & Swann Galleries

Here’s the 4th in a series of 4: the stretch-portraits (originals by Marc Davis) from the HM elevator.



And a recent set of photos I took at the mansion showing the unfurling of one of the elevator stretch portraits.







And a few more images from the Zorro Viewmaster set (see yesterday’s post for the first set!):

“Don Diego played his part — a studious dandy.”



“‘Help me!’ said Torres, ‘I am falsely charged with treason!”



“‘Your return is unexpected,’ sneered the Commandante.”



“I fear you return to a troubled land, my son.”



And as if this wasn’t enough, how about some very rare Disney art to kick off your weekend? On November 9, Swann Auction Galleries presents The James B. Parks Collection of Fine Prints tracing the history of Modern Art from the 1700s through the 20th Century. Parks was unusual in his regard for the artistry of Walt Disney and there are three Disney items in the auction, including an original production cel of Snow White and Bashful, circa 1937 ($4,000 to $6,000).

Lot 182: Snow White and Bashful, Walt Disney Studios. Original production cel, the cut-out figures on a watercolor background, circa 1937.



Lot 183: Walt Disney’s Three Caballeros, Walt Disney Studios. Color crayon and oil stick poster maquette on smooth, cream wove paper, circa 1944. (“Three Caballeros” was the seventh animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series.)



Lot 184: Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney Studios. Original production cel, late 1950s/early 1960s.



Lot 185: Two concept drawings: Mickey with Coins and Goofy Spitting Coins, Walt Disney Studios. Both pencil and yellow crayon on cream wove paper, 1940s/1950s.
