Other Notes: Joshua Meador worked as an animator for the Walt Disney Company from 1937 through the 1960s. He began as an animator on "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Pinocchio." He later moved into the special effects department for "Fantasia," where he worked on the effects for the "Rite of Spring" and "A Night on Bald Mountain" segments. Meador would continue to work on special effects animation at Disney for animated feature films like "Alice in Wonderland" and "Cinderella," live-action films such as "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," and the "True-Life Adventure" documentaries. In 1956 Meador was loaned to MGM by Disney to create the "Monster from the Id" for the science-fiction epic "Forbidden Planet."

Frame of largest: 12.5" H x 15 x 1" D Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
