We are pleased to present one of the rare production drawings of Fauna, the peacemaker of the Good Fairy trio from Disney's 1959 feature "Sleeping Beauty". This remarkable piece appears around the 5:16 mark of the film, the presentation scene for the Good Fairies. Fauna is rendered in black and red pencil on 3-peghole paper, marked as 79 in the lower right corner.

Released in 1959, "Sleeping Beauty" is a timeless animated masterpiece that has captivated audiences for generations and held a special place in Walt Disney’s heart, as he regarded it as his crowning achievement. The film’s greatest triumph lies in its breathtaking animation, with its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and majestic backgrounds that immerse viewers in a world of enchantment. The unique art style of "Sleeping Beauty" is a visual marvel that distinguishes it from other Disney classics.

The animation and character development of the three Good Fairies—Fauna, Flora, and Merryweather—were handled by two Disney Legends from the Nine Old Men: Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. Their exceptional talent is evident in this drawing. As heard in the film: "Their most honored and exalted excellencies, the three Good Fairies!"—just before this frame appears.

This is a unique opportunity to own one of the most significant characters, not only from "Sleeping Beauty" but from the entire history of The Walt Disney Company, who also stands as a symbol of empathy and kindness.
