CLOWN OF THE JUNGLE (Disney, 1946)

    Walt Disney presents...

    a cartoon starring Donald Duck!

    CLOWN OF THE JUNGLE title card:

    Credits, including layout by Yale Gracey and B/G art by Thelma Witner:

    You can watch it on YouTube:

    I couldn't figure out how to do the first, opening pan B/G because of the moving multiplane layers in the foreground.

    But I managed to re-create the second pan B/G, and the nearly-infinite length of this pan B/G easily qualifies it as a contender for the longest piece I've ever digitally re-created...

    Here's a closer look at the left side of the pan...

    And the right side (birds are obviously cel overlays):

    and more B/G art from this film:





    I love the subtle and somewhat abstract design of this mid-tree leafy view:


    Notice the brilliant angled horizon here:

    I was able to digitally remove Donald and the Aracuan bird, but that shadow refused to budge!


    This pan is a right-to-left shot, and as you can see the crazy Aracuan bird appears in very first frame (on the right)...

    Here's a close-up view from another shot/segment:

    and that's THE END!
