This is a limited edition animation hand-painted and hand-inked cel and is presented on a giclee background print featuring Linus and Charlie Brown searching for the perfect tree for the school holiday performance. This is signed by Larry Leichliter. The early 1960’s was a strange time for Christmas trees. With the space race and the Cold War in full swing, modern everything was all the rage and Christmas trees were no exception. Gaudy, shiny, futuristic aluminum trees complete with rotating color wheels were taking over our living rooms. Until one Peanuts special changed everything. When Charlie Brown and Linus went to the Christmas tree lot in 1965, their famous choice sent a shockwave through the public consciousness, and aluminum trees quickly fell out of fashion. Featured here are Charlie Brown and Linus. This is such a classic moment and will be loved by all Peanuts fans. Available unframed only.

Hand-painted limited editions recreate classic moments from great cartoons, using the same materials and techniques as were used in making the originals. Some limited editions are exact reproductions of frames from the films they represent, while others, such as Chuck Jones’ limited editions, are based on contemporary interpretations of great characters and scenes.
In either case, the animator’s drawing is transferred onto acetate cels, then each is meticulously hand-painted by studio artists. Each piece is hand-numbered in small edition sizes of between 100 and 750. In some cases the finished cels are then signed by the animator.
As the great majority of original cels from the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s are no longer in existence, limited edition cels allow collectors an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy some of the greatest moments in the history of animation.
