Here is another gorgeous visual development piece by the cranky, but enormously talented Walt Peregoy. As I said before, this type of jungle would have worked for The Jungle Book as well, but the other Walt (Disney) envisioned lighter, more airy backdrops for the characters. The production of this wonderful film saw two casualties: Story man Bill Peet and Walt Peregoy, who both left the studio in a huff, because of their artistic disagreements with where the movie was headed.
Peregoy has a way with blue/greens and a touch of purple. You can see a lot of that in The Sword in the Stone. And I love it!
Here is a previous post on Peregoy's Jungle Book:
Wow!
ReplyDeleteMan, I can understand Walt Disney's decision, but it's tragic when fantastic stuff like this doesn't make to the screen. I suppose I can't think of any better fate than for the artwork to end up in your hands, though. You must have catacombs of this stuff. How do you store it all?
ReplyDeleteI sent my letter to W.Peregoy last week by the way, I'll tell you about it if he replies
I don't own every piece shown on this blog, but I do have the above Peregoy painting.
DeleteIt is lovely! But that doesn't mean Walt (Disney) was wrong in his decision.
DeleteAmazing stuff!
ReplyDeleteHey Andreas, do you know what medium this done was done in by chance?
I believe it is acrylic paint.
DeleteSo cool, reminds me of the Rainforest in It's a Small World
ReplyDeleteHallo Andreas Deja,
ReplyDeleteMein Name ist Onur, ich bin 17 Jahre alt und komme aus Deutschland. Ich würde Sie gerne Privat kontaktieren, da ich ein paar Fragen habe zum Beruf des "Cartoonisten/Zeichner". Ich zeichne schon seitdem ich 9 Jahre alt bin und halte immer noch daran fest. Es sind noch ein paar Fragen bei mir offen, die ich gerne einem erfahrenem lang-Jährigen Zeichner stellen würde.
Ich freue mich sehr auf eine Antwort :)
Onar, hinterlasse hier Deine Email Adresse, und ich schreibe Dir.

There's more Walt Peregoy at the Walt Disney Family Museum. Diane Disney Miller showed us several paintings last year. Hopefully, there will be an exhibit eventually.
