Fantasia

Concept piece of Ali Gator This is an excellent, early rendition of this slightly devilish character, and nicely sized as well. Here we see his great plume over his head, with what appears to be an earlier idea painted out by the artist. Ben is the leader of the horde of 12 wicked dance partners. He is shown here looking quite the dashing villain! This piece measures roughly 13" x 8.5". As visible in the image, the artwork has been trimmed roughly around the character and is mounted on a thicker card stock which has been trimmed as well. It is possible that this can be removed from the blue board. There is a small pin hole toward the lowered edge of the card stock, well outside the image area. The character size is 11" h x 7.5" w. US$ 1950 (unframed). Add this piece to your collection for only US$390 a month. WDATSV5 |

Concept piece of Bacchus Round and jubilant, James Bodrero’s character design for Bacchus truly captures the heart of the decadent God of Wine. This concept piece from Disney’s ambitious 1940 masterpiece “Fantasia,” helped in the ultimate creation of this self-indulgent character. Such masterful work should be expected from the artist who also helped in the character design of the world’s most lovable elephant, Dumbo.” The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") US$ 3200 (unframed).

Fantasia
(1940)
Concept piece of Bacchus 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. The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") US$ 3800 (unframed). Add this piece to your collection for only US$760 a month. WDAPP31 |

Concept piece of Ben Ali Gator This is a concept design of the lead dancing alligator from the Dance of the Hours sequence, exquisitely rendered in pastels. The overall piece measures 10"H by 12"W and has a clear piece of acetate overlay to protect the art. The bottom right edge has the Walt Disney Productions ink stamp and the "WDP" stamp. Comes with the original label from the Courvoisier Galleries. There is a bit of pastel smearing along the contours of the drawing, due to handling during production. There are minute pin holes on each corner and there are two aged tape residues on the upper corners of the paper; these can be easily matted out for display or handling if desired. The character size is 6.5" h x 9.5" w. US$ 6500 (framed). Add this piece to your collection for only US$1300 a month. WDA866 |

Concept piece of Chernabog Hands down, the most amazing concept drawings we've ever seen of Chernabog with terrific green fire effects from the Night on Bald Mountain sequence. Pastel on paper which has been applied to a heavier stock. Image size is 7 1/2" h x 9 1/2" w. Kay Nielsen at his finest. Chernabog fills the whole scene--notice his wings.

Concept piece of Hyacinth Hippo and Ali Gator This is a beautiful watercolor concept of ballet’s greatest animated couple. Here we see the unlikely pair in the throws of their complicated pas de deux. This piece is a fine example of the creative process that the characters and scenes go through before finally making it to the big screen. Ben Ali Gator’s feather is red in the concept and in the film it is actually blue, and Hyacinth loses her diaphanous headdress all together in the final draft. The artwork measures 9" x 10.5" while the image area measures 8" x 9.25". As is common with this type of artwork, there are pin holes in each extreme corner and in the center along the extreme top edge, all of which exist outside of the image area. The character size is 4.5" h x 6" w. US$ 5600 (unframed). Add this piece to your collection for only US$1120 a month. WDACS14 |

Concept piece of some centaurettes 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 influence can be seen in the animation in ways both great and small.

Concept piece of some centaurettes This is a magnificent concept piece from Fantasia’s early production, depicting three centaurette’s shameless self-indulgence. The artwork exhibits delicate attention to detail in a cool gray-tone palette. There is a hauntingly voyeuristic quality to the piece, as we are granted a look into this lush retreat. The paper has had a tinge of color change around the outer edges only which can be easily matted out. There is evidence of staple holes towards the extremes of the upper left and right hand corners which can be easily matted out. As visible in the image, the extreme lower left corner has been slightly torn, which measures .75" and can easily be matted out as well. The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") and the character size is 4.5" h x 6.25" w. US$ 4000 (unframed). WDAKM10 |

Concept piece of some dinosaurs At first glance, one 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. Fantasia’s Rite of Spring sequence was animated to Stravinsky’s music and through the scene we witness the birth of the Earth and the history of life up to the age of the reptiles. The size of this piece is 12 Field (11"x13") US$ 2900 (unframed). Add this piece to your collection for only US$580 a month. WDAPP36 |

Fantasia
(1940)
Concept piece of some mushrooms We estimate that this concept is an idea of the opening or closing scene of the Nutcracker Suite featuring the Mushrooms. Drawn in pastel on black animator's paper, it is a forest scene rendered in blues and blacks with the mushrooms highlighted in white, and serves as a very calm and dramatic scene. The dramatic effect of this concept of the Mushrooms from Fantasia is created by delicate strokes of pastels layered on black paper. The use of black drawing paper rather than white drawing paper helps exaggerate the places that the light strikes the dancing creatures. The aperture measures 7.5" x 10.25" while the matte measures 14" x 16.5". There is slight evidence of waviness along the lower portion of the drawing, but is visible only upon close examination. There may be evidence of slight water damage as well in this area, but it is difficult to assess if this is intentional or not for the artwork. There is a slight amount of paper loss outside of the image area which measures 1" x 7". There are a number of staple holes and pin holes in each corner. As pinning up storyboards for evaluation was often part of the creative process, this is fairly common for this type of work. US$ 2500 (matted).

Concept piece of Tyrannasaurus 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.
