RABBIT'S HUTCH!

I've always loved the background art developed for the WINNIE THE POOH films. It's texture is unlike any other (but seemingly influenced by the Xerox art designs from 101 Dalmatians).

As usual I have digitally composited pan backgrounds so you can see them in a way we never saw them in the films!

Here's a set of beautiful and charming backgrounds from the first WINNIE THE POOH  animated short "Winnie The Pooh and the Honey Tree" (1964), which later became part of the compilation feature "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

 Rabbit tries desperately to push Pooh out through his rabbit hole - no such luck. 
 Rabbit here digitally erased but Pooh's big booty remains - yet a bit more of the B/G is revealed...

a lovely view of the Hundred Acre Woods, adjacent to the Rabbit residence!
