An original production background from the Warner Bros. Studios animated Merrie Melodies short, "Tom Thumb in Trouble" (1940). Featuring a fantastic rendering of a table with a half eaten plate where Tom was sitting, the hand-painted background was created at the studio and used during the animation process. The piece represents an actual frame of animation that was photographed and appears in the film. This era of Warner Bros brought to life some of the most memorable cartoons to ever be made, but most of the art was destroyed, making the background an amazing piece of animation history. Measuring 9.75"x12.5" overall, with the image itself measuring 8.5"x12.5", the background is in very good condition page discoloration, minor edge and corner wear, and pin holes due to studio use.
