more bugs

about a year ago I posted the first recreated backgrounds from MR.BUGS GOES TO TOWN. this beautiful animated feature film was produced by the FLEISCHER STUDIOS in miami, florida, and released by PARAMOUNT on december 5, 1941 – two days before the attack on PEARL HARBOUR. that might have been the reason why it was a financial disaster at the box office with only $ 241.000 against costs of $ 713.500. here now a few more recreated backgrounds from the film.

in 1990 DAAN JIPPES did this beautiful design for a TOONTOWN-RIDE in the disney parks. I guess it happened paralell to his amazing storyboard work for ALADDIN. more about that in a later post.
