Timothy Q. Mouse with the Magic Feather

If you've been following this blog from the beginning, as I have, you may know that I never omit the Q from the name Timothy Q. Mouse, certainly one of my favorite Disney characters. Just about the only thing better than an animation drawing of Timothy Q. Mouse from Walt Disney's "Dumbo" (1941) is an animation drawing of Timothy Q. Mouse with the magic feather. This one was sold at Bonhams in 2008.

Dumbo and Timothy Mouse wake up from a drunken stupor and find themselves in a tree high up. They come to the conclusion that the only way that they could have gotten up there is that Dumbo flew them up there. The five passing crows befriend the two and see that Dumbo is nervous about trying to fly again. So they give him a “magic feather” (plucked from one of them) to boost his confidence.
