2 Original Disney paintings used in the movie Cinderella signed by Walt Disney
Hi Dawn,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The 1950 animated film Cinderella is one of the most significant works in Disney and animation history. Its importance spans cultural impact, artistic achievement, and the survival of the Disney studio itself. Painted animation cels (frames) from the production can bring significant sums, ranging from around $50 to high five-figures, including, in August 2025, a Cinderella Fairy Godmother and Cinderella production cel with Walt Disney Signature that sold for $72,000 (it had provenance to a significant collection); others similar to yours have sold for between $3,000 and $5,000 each.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
Two Cinderella Walt Disney signed production cels

One depicting Cinderella in her ball gown with two bird companions by a fountain, the other showing four of her mouse friends, both matted and framed, signed on the mats.
