Here, a set of beautifully rendered backgrounds from Disney's THE SMALL ONE (1977).

THE SMALL ONE: The Marketplace

This is an interesting image. I actually own several cels from the movie (a personal favorite). The most recent acquisition was a two cel setup from the musical number with a trio of swarthy characters. My setup has the three singers, and a cel with the top part of the "goods" to the right and the left. So it appears there was a background, a character layer, and two layers of cels with the "goods."

Here's a look at the B/G with the characters digitally eliminated, the other cel elements intact.Source URL: http://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/search/label/THE%20SMALL%20ONE

Holiday Art, Part Deux: THE SMALL ONE

I am incredibly fond of Disney featurette "THE SMALL ONE." It's a beautifully told story, with great visuals, terrific character animation, and tuneful songs.

This re-created B/G has a very interesting perspective and texture.Source URL: http://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/search/label/THE%20SMALL%20ONE

THE SMALL ONE (1977)

I am quite fond of "THE SMALL ONE." It's a quintessential Disney story with all the key elements: beautiful animation, characters with whom we empathize. a sweet story, well-written music and heart-tugging sentiment. This was created during the "passing of the baton" from the old animators to the "new kids" in the 70s. It's a lovely little film, and this background beautifully evokes the "Holy Land" setting of the story.Source URL: http://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/search/label/THE%20SMALL%20ONE
