Grumpy's Kiss and Departure

Today, another couple of recreated pan B/Gs from SNOW WHITE.

First, we have "Grumpy's Kiss and Departure." Interesting problem... the first frame in the sequence, starting on the right has Grumpy with his shadow. I couldn't eliminate it completely.

So here you'll see two versions: one with Grumpy and the entire first frame intact. Here's the first frame:


This version of the digitally re-created pan B/G contains the entire first frame on the right:

This second version of the digitally re-created pan B/G is almost completely cleared, as much as digitally possible... revealing quite a bit more of the B/G. Sorry, nothing I could do about that bit of shadow and a fragment of Grumpy's shoe!

As usual I've split the Pan B/G in halves so you can have a good look at detail Here's the left side:

And the right side:

And finally, another completely separate woodsy pan B/G. Grumpy gets his nose stuck in the hole in the tree. A funny bit!

SNOW WHITE

In honor of the 70th anniversary of SNOW WHITE and the forthcoming Disney DVD re-release, I've created some newly digitized restorations of some obscure B/G art pieces from Walt's first feature.

The first is a recreated pan B/G (with cel overlays of waterfall, vultures and their shadows.)

SALUDOS AMIGOS

Hi gang!

After a hiatus, I'm back. Ready to spend countless hours digitally recreating Cartoon background art!!!

I recently had the great fun of seeing theatrical screenings of Ted Thomas' new film WALT AND EL GRUPO and SALUDOS AMIGOS (a brand new 35mm print!), in the same week. Only in L.A.!!!

I think Ted is a wonderful filmmaker. I can't praise WALT AND EL GRUPO enough. It is an insightful look at a very interesting time for Walt and his studio. Fans of animation, Disney and especially Mary Blair should make a point of seeing this film.

This b/g art is from the first segment, LAKE TITICACA.

It definitely inspired me to get back in the groove here. Check in once a week - more new artwork is forthcoming.

Welcome back - to me and you! Enjoy...

The Hulk is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The Incredible Hulk (May 1962). In 2008, the hobbyist magazine Wizard named the Hulk the seventh-greatest Marvel Comics character. Empire Magazine named him the fourteenth greatest comic book character overall, and the fifth highest ranked in the Marvel stable.

The Hulk is cast as the emotional and impulsive alter ego of the withdrawn and reserved physicist Dr. Bruce Banner. The Hulk appears shortly after Banner is accidentally exposed to the blast of a test detonation of a gamma bomb he invented. Subsequently, Banner will involuntarily transform into the Hulk, depicted as a giant, raging, humanoid monster, leading to extreme complications in Banner's life. Lee said the Hulk's creation was inspired by a combination of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein.

Although the Hulk's coloration has varied throughout the character's publication history, the most consistent shade is green. As the Hulk, Banner is capable of significant feats of strength, which increases in direct proportion to the character's anger. Strong emotions such as anger, terror and grief are also triggers for forcing Banner's transformation into the Hulk. A common storyline is the pursuit of both Banner and the Hulk by the police or the armed forces, due to the destruction he causes.

The character has since been depicted in various other media, most notably by Lou Ferrigno in two television series, six television movies, and an animated series; through the use of CGI in Hulk (2003) and The Incredible Hulk (2008), as well as in three animated series and various video games.
