A production background and a recreated cel from the Disney Studios animated film "Pocahontas" (1995). Featuring an expressive image of Governor Ratcliffe mid-song, the hand-painted background was created at the studio and used during the animation process. The cel was recreated at Walt Disney's Ink and Paint Department using original artwork from the film as a reference. Disney had stopped hand-painting cels years prior with "The Little Mermaid" (1989), the last feature to have used the traditional animation technique. The studio released select setups with recreated cels in later years to continue to promote the art form still present in the hand-painted backgrounds. Measuring 23.5"x 18" framed, with the mat opening measuring 16.25"x11", the setup is in fine condition, unexamined out of frame.
