some centaurettes animation Concept Piece
  Available on Layaway Fantasia (1940)
Concept piece of some centaurettes

The image area measures 9" x 11.75" while the frame measures 21.5" x 24". English woman, Sylvia Holland, was a major contributor on Fantasia, as well as many other Disney classics. As seen here, she had a delicate touch which was faithfully rendered in the completed animation. The colors are muted, with subtly blended contrasts in tone ranging from a deep black to a soft cream, aquatic blues, and rich browns. The water effects in this stunning concept piece ripple in a pre-emptive flee from the plunge of an obese centaurette. Holland, a highly trained musician as well as artist, was clearly able to respond to the subtle grace of Fantasia’s soundtrack.
Price is reflective of artwork only--the piece comes with the frame pictured. There is no change in price due to the frame--it can be de-framed upon request at purchase, but it will not change the price of the piece.

At first glance once is simply taken back by the beautiful and calming colors of blue and green in this watercolor concept, then at second glance we can see the brontosaurs communicating to each other-- it's quite a moving piece.

some baby pegasuses animation Concept Piece
  Available on Layaway Fantasia (1940)
Concept piece of some baby pegasuses
One of the most remembered sections of Fantasia is the one which involves the baby Pegasuses. This piece illustrates the initial concept for how the Pegasus nest and the Pegasus family should look. Although the coloring was altered for the film, the majority of the original design was maintained, proving how integral the concept art is to the making of the film. This piece has a warm feel to it, in part due to the nurturing nature with which the mother Pegasus in nestling her young, and also because of the soft coloring that was used.
The piece measures 8.25" x 11".

Tyrannosaurus Rex animation Concept Piece
  Available on Layaway Fantasia (1940)
Concept piece of Tyrannosaurus Rex
It was important, during "Fantasia's" Rite of Spring Section, that the Tyrannosaurus Rex be as vicious and menacing as possible. The character design fell into James Bodrero’s hands and he did an amazing job creating this breathtaking King of the Dinosaurs. With intimidating eyes and a powerful form, the animated version of T Rex followed very closely to Bodrero’s original design. Based on the strength of his work on Fantasia, Bodrero was entrusted with the character design of one of Disney’s most well known protagonists, Dumbo.

One of Disney's great "experimenters,” James Bodrero was highly influential on character design at Disney Studios during the 1930’s and 1940’s. This beautiful concept piece comes from one of Disney’s most amazing feats, “Fantasia,” and depicts the decadent Bacchus dancing about with a centaurette. Bodrero’s concept would be followed closely in the making of the film and it is easy to see why. Bodrero had a way of finding the heart of character and designing the rest around it.

These beautiful centaurettes were lovingly crafted by the artist James Bodrero as a concept piece for "Fantasia." While ultimately the centaruettes would have to be adorned with floral brassieres, because of the demands of the Hayes Committee, the bulk of Bodrero's design remained unchanged. Bodrero worked with Disney Studios for several of its classic films, and his imfluence can be seen in the animation in ways both great and small.
