Brief HISTORY of the Disneyland Art Corner Shop
In 1955, the year Disneyland opened, in a section of Tomorrowland there was a area now long gone called “The Art Corner” which sold Disney animation cels from films such as Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, Mickey Mouse Club and cels from various shorts. The place was full of bins of cels that customers could paw through at will (yes, that\'s how it was described to me by someone who was there, and bought plenty of them)--everything from \"Alice In Wonderland\" to \"Peter Pan\", \"Sleeping Beauty\", numerous TV programs and shorts, etc. These cels were selected by studio artist, from the 1000’s of cels created for a production, based on attractiveness. Cels were the character (s) were Not good looking, were discarded. So only the Best ones were allowed out of the market. Every Art Corner Cel was matted and a Gold Art Corner Label attached to the backing. This label is what makes Art Corner Pieces so valuable.
