Description: SIGNED Original Walt Disney Animation Illustration MOANA / MAUI Crew Gift 2016 Treasures from a Retired Disney Animation Crew Member ... presented exclusively by Saturday's Toys Item: Original Animation Art Drawing Commissioned by John Lasseter for the Dedication of the Newly Renovated Roy E. Disney Animation Building in 2016 Date: September 6, 2016 Artist: Valentin "Val" Amador As animation for the upcoming "Moana" feature film project was coming to a close, we learn that Val Amador's animation work on the film included:MauiMaui's tattooTamatoaTe Fiti The framed art measures 10.5" x 15"; with a custom mat measuring 5" x 9.5"; personally signed by the artist as "Val Amador". Most importantly... Maui's abs are adorned with the iconic artwork of the Roy E. Disney building... in an expression that has never been presented elsewhere. In essence... the art honors the animator, the company, the voice artist, the namesake... and all who were involved in renovating this historic space on the original property of the iconic Walt Disney Studio in Burbank, California. These exclusive "one of a kind" sketches were awarded to the various crew members who had contributed to the redesign and repurposing of the Roy E. Disney Animation Building; all at the request of John Lasseter. Here... Amador takes note of the "New Building?" at the upper left corner... in an effort to please the hard-working animators who were laboring within the walls of this facility... and even takes a humorous approach in referencing "You're Welcome"... (a subtle reference to the song of the same name... sung by the "voice of Maui"... better known as Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson).Animator Valentin (Val) Amador (later to become a Disney Supervising Animator) was born in Cadiz, Spain and grew up in Barcelona. He dreamed of being an animator at Disney and began his career as a 2D animator in TV before working for Dreamworks and eventually fulfilling his dream by working at the Disney Animation studio.
