This fantastic artwork underplayed two dancing fish for mere seconds in the BEAUTIFUL BRINY SEA segment of BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS.
FIrst up, the featured fish in a screen cap. Remember them swimming by? Below it, my digitally re-created pan Background.
After several hundred backgrounds and blog entires, I’m running out of words! I hate to repeat myself, but…
Truly, the texture and play of light is marvelous.
After doing this for years, every once in a while I am truly amazed at the artwork revealed. This is one of those times.
Gorgeous!

A new guest artist from Italy, Andrea Scipione sent these wonderful digital re-creations of backgrounds from THE LITTLE MERMAID. Thank you Andrea!
This was the last Disney feature to use hand-painted cels.
Enjoy these wonderful B/Gs. Bella!


Here are two different treatments of the same street from THE THREE CABALLEROS. The first (like a pop-up book) is very cartoonish. The second is more like a chalk drawing.
Theoretically, they could have used one B/G and zoomed in for a close-up. instead, two B/Gs were painted and the textures are quite different.
This is intriguing to me. How about you?
