Walt Disney's Jungle Book; Two Original Production Cel Levels on Reproduction Background. One of the most popular of all Walt Disney animated films, THE JUNGLE BOOK premiered in the Fall of 1967 boasting one of the greatest celebrity voice casts at the time including Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders and Sterling Holloway. Director Wolfgang Reitherman did not have to look far for a young boy to voice Mowgli, he cast his son, Bruce. This was the last film to be produced by Walt Disney and was released only 10 months after his death and proved a massive success with one of its song "Bare Necessities" being nominated for an Oscar. Here is Mowgli with his singing buzzard friends reportedly an homage to the Beatles, Buzzie = Ringo, Flaps = Paul, Dizzy = George and Ziggy = John. Mowgli is painted on one cel, the buzzards on a second with a reproduction background. There are two sets of staple holes on the very edge of both sheets of acetate that in no way distract from the set up. No flaking or cracking in evidence, colors perfect. Unframed, measure 10 x 12" and in excellent condition. Estimate Value $1,400 - UP
