Disneyland/Disneyana (20th Century)

Mickey and Minnie Brave Little Tailor Big Fig Original Concept Painting by Jody Daily (Walt Disney, 1999). This is an exceptionally rare original painting by Jody Daily depicting his concept for a pair of Big Figs based on 1938's Brave Little Tailor. These rare Mickey and Minnie Big Figs were released in 1999, and depict Mickey as the Brave Little Tailor alongside Princess Minnie Mouse. When designing these Big Figs, Jody Daily opted to begin the concept process with a physical painting, rather than working digitally, which by this time was a very rare design choice. For as sought-after as Big Figs themselves are, this is an even rarer opportunity to own an original concept painting for this beloved Big Fig set. The painting is accomplished in acrylic and pencil on 8" x 5.75" art board. The condition is Very Good with little surface wear and some smudging to the pencil title. It is signed by Daily in the lower-right. From the Personal Archives of Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily. HID09710052018 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
