Additional Details

An original full-figure animation production cel of Sneezy with pickaxe in hand from the "Heigh Ho" sequence in the groundbreaking animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). This vintage Courvoisier Galleries cel setup includes a decorative background with airbrushed shadows.
This cel notably was used in the "Dig-a-Dig Dig" portion of "Heigh Ho," when we first meet the Dwarfs, hard at work mining for gems. The matching frame can be seen at the 21 min 50 sec in the film when the miners sing the line: "Where a million diamonds shine!"

Cels from the "Heigh ho" song in Snow White are particularly scarce.
