Dealing with Life

Hey gang, I am in South Dakota at the moment. My 87 year old Mom had a close call, in and out of the hospital. She is currently in a senior rehab facility. Finally quit smoking after 60+ years. Had to. Now on oxygen 24 hours a day. I am happy to report she is doing amazingly well.

All this is to say I have a lot on my plate while here, helping her get re-settled. I may or may not have time to post, we'll see.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, I'll be back in L.A. by Monday, and posting near daily as usual.

GOOFY: Hold That Pose, Part Two

This wild jungle background is so vividly rendered you can almost hear Arthur Lyman music in the background. (Look that up, weedhoppers!)

Another amazing B/G from the shorts...

GOOFY: Hold That Pose

Here's a digitally reconstructed pan B/G from the Gooft short HOLD THAT POSE.

It shows how a even simple B/G can be charming and effective.

GOOFY:Father's Weekend (1953)

PIGS IS PIGS (1954)

Here, artwork from PIGS IS PIGS. It is so interesting to see Disney go modern... they do it very well. Refreshing and stylish!

Eyvind Earle (Sleeping Beauty) was a background stylist along with Al Dempster.

Be sure and "click to enlarge," especially with digitally re-created pan B/G, so you can enjoy the details.

IN THE BAG (1956)

These wonderful modern backgrounds were created for IN THE BAG. This starring vehicle for Ranger J. Audubon Woodlore and Humphrey the Bear featured a snazzy musical number by staff composer and former theatre organist Oliver Wallace.

Even the backgrounds have a certain humor about them!
