\"\"<\/a>A little caveat emptor for those searching online for a unique gift for the Disney fan in their lives. Most of the Disney animation art available through auction site eBay is probably a fake. And not very good ones at that.<\/p>\n

DisneyFakes.blogspot.com<\/a> has a small catalog of some of the more recent forgeries that have turned up online, pointing out the differences between the real and the fake.The blog’s anonymous writer tells Cartoon Brew<\/a> that he worked as an inbetween clean-up artist for Disney’s The Princess And The Frog and “carefully analyzed the clean-up drawings with the finished film frames, and discovered numerous discrepancies consistent with forgeries.” He added –<\/p>\n

I made a blog cataloging all the drawings that have been sold and I point out the differences between the fake and original. I have about twenty drawings up so far and in total they\u2019ve sold on eBay for almost $3000 (I have about five or six left on my computer to put up) . And all but one or two of the drawings are from the same seller Hkleiman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When I contacted the seller I was concerned and told him that one of the drawings he\u2019s selling might be fake. He assured me that they\u2019re real and he gets them from a trusted Disney animator. But with my blog I think I\u2019ve shown enough differences to disprove that. My goal with this blog is to help people spot the differences between a real drawing and a fake and to hopefully get these people their money back. But before I contact the buyers I wanted to get some feedback from professionals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have to repeat what the folks at Cartoon Brew caution about buying original animation art – Make sure you are buying from a gallery or dealer who has an established reputation. And avoid this hkleiman on eBay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
