Anne Cassebeer may have been MAG’s youngest donor of art. Nineteen years old when she donated Happy, she was a student at Pembroke College and the daughter of artist and architect Walter Cassebeer, a member of MAG’s board.
We wish we could tell you the story of how Anne came to own a production cel depicting Happy, one of the Seven Dwarfs but, as often happens, the circumstances were not recorded at the time she made the gift. A good deal more is known about the Walt Disney film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937. It was the first full-length animated feature film with an official soundtrack. MAG’s Happy was one of 1,500,000 drawings and watercolors that were photographed to create Snow White.
