ABOUT THE IMAGE: Figaro and Frankie is a 1947 short released by Walt Disney Productions, produced by Walt Disney and directed by Charles A. Nichols. The final cartoon in the solo Figaro series, Figaro the kitten is driven to distraction by the singing of Frankie the canary and sets out to quiet the bird, perhaps permanently, much to the consternation of Minnie Mouse (voiced by Ruth Clifford).
This piece shows signs of production wear: Center crease and wrinkling along edges.
ABOUT THE MEDIUM: A model sheet is a group of character drawings illustrating different poses and expressions of a cartoon character. Because a number of artists worked on a single cartoon, these sheets were circulated to the animators to give a uniform look and feel to a character throughout a production.
