In Watercolor News: Stolen Mickey
Posted by sarah
After vanishing from a museum storeroom 17 years ago, two Walt Disney Studios watercolors featuring Mickey Mouse in scenes from
Fantasia
resurfaced in Florida this month. Valued from $60,000 to $80,000 at the time of the theft, one painting shows Mickey gesturing to a broom and the other shows him magically turning a waterfall into snow. How cute.
The paintings were found in a garage full of unwanted items, sold to an art dealer who was unaware that they were stolen, and then sold to an unsuspecting antiques dealer. But the dealer did his homework and, discovering the paintings' history, turned them over to authorities. (He was later given the original reward of $5,000, offered more than two decades ago.)
For all the details, visit a local Florida news outlet
