Comic Mint is pleased to offer Lion King fans this RARE and sold-out piece of Disney history.

"Circle of Life" is an outstanding limited edition of just 50 hand-painted character cels based on artwork from Walt Disney's animated classic "The Lion King" (1994). This recreated cel set-up, "Circle of Life," is from Sequence 1, Scene 35.5 of The Lion King: Mufasa and Sarabi proudly watch the wise sage Rafiki holding their son Simba, knowing that they are continuing the Circle of Life.

Disney artists have recreated the artwork from this feature using traditional animation techniques. The original animation drawings were transferred to acetate "cels" by a special six-step xerographic process. The cels were also enhanced with hand-inked lines and airbrush effects. The artists then hand-painted each of the cels in the edition with Disney-approved acrylic colors.

The background scene accompanying this cel is a faithful reproduction of the original, computer-enhanced hand-painted background used in the making of the film. The resulting artwork has been lithographically printed on premium quality acid-free paper by Color Service. Inc., of Monterey Park, California.

All cels in this edition are numbered from 1/500 to 500/500 and were produced in 1995. This piece is a RARE publisher's proof numbered 43/50. This cel bears the Disney embossed seal in the lower corner.
The image measures 16.5" inches across by 11" inches high, and comes with a gallery certificate of authenticity.
