PINOCCHIO

PINOCCHIO opens today at the El Capitan in Hollywood, CA. The newly restored digital version is incredibly beautiful with a miraculously awakened soundtrack. If you are anywhere near Southern California, you'll want to plan to see this rare big-screen presentation, complete with Mighty Wurlitzer pre-show and an onstage appearance by PINOCCHIO himself.

We've presented some wonderful B/G artwork previosuly which can be seen here:

BAMBI pan background

Tonight, once again I found nirvana in recreating this gorgeous pan background piece from BAMBI. There is a sublime tranquility in this artwork. No pop art colors. It is a gentle palette... creating a beautiful landscape for Bambi's first walk to the meadow.

This artwork is a perfect example of why I revere the art and artists from early Disney.

As usual I have split the pan so you can click on right and left sections to see greater detail.
