MUSIC LAND Title Card

Impeccable production design reflected even in Disney's title cards. This one has a decidedly Art Deco feel with instrumental overtones.

MUSIC LAND (1935)

Presented here for your enjoyment, a digitally re-created pan background from the 1935 Silly Symphony MUSIC LAND.

Note the musical graphics integrated cleverly into the background art. The thrones include drums, tambourines, and saxophone bells, with cymbals hanging overhead. The burgundy, olive green and gold color palette is a delight to the eyes. The overall effect is both lavish and whimsical.

GOOFY: HELLO ALOHA

This beautiful B/G has a lovely Polynesian tranquility, in stark contrast to Goofy's frenzied animated antics which transpire in front of it.

Luau, anyone?

The Saga of WIND WAGON SMITH (1961)

Disney goes modern with a vengeance! (Digitally re-created pan background.)

BLAME IT ON THE SAMBA

These recreated backgrounds are from MELODY TIME (1948).

The first two are unmistakably Mary Blair. The music-staff-themed B/G is a very different style.

Great stuff!
