“In this climactic scene, Oogie catapults away from Jack, only to have Jack grab a piece of string which unravels his entire body. This storyboard drawing was rendered by Disney artist Jorgen Klubien in graphite and ink on 8″ x 5.5″ paper. The art is in excellent condition but has the expected pin holes in the corners. The art is SIGNED by Henry Selick, Film Director for The Nightmare Before Christmas. Selick signed the piece on the verso of the art, and will come with a letter of Authenticity from Henry Selick. The storyboarding process, in the form it is known today, was developed at Walt Disney Studios during the early 1930s, after several years of similar processes being in use at Walt Disney and other animation studios. Essential in the process of creating effective storytelling for the final product, Jorgen Klubien’s impact on the narrative can’t be understated, and his impact on the film is showcased in his remarkable storyboards.
The Nightmare Before Christmas originated in a poem written by Tim Burton in 1982, while he was working as an animator at Walt Disney Feature Animation. Production started in July 1991 in San Francisco; Disney released the film through its Touchstone Pictures banner because the studio believed the film would be “too dark and scary for kids”. The film was met with both critical and financial success, grossing over $76 million during its initial run. This stop-motion masterpiece was the first animated film to receive an Academy Award Nomination for Best Visual Effects! The film has since been reissued by Walt Disney Pictures, and was re-released annually in Disney Digital 3-D from 2006 until 2009, making it the first stop-motion animated feature to be entirely converted to 3D
PROVENANCE: The art was purchased from the premier collectibles auction house consigned to sell numerous pieces of Disney story board/concept art. A copy of the original invoice will be included, and will provide both provenance and authenticity for the art.
A very stunning signed piece and showcases very well. Perfect for the collector/lover of The Nightmare Before Christmas/Tim Burton fans
