^Lot 580 A "Three Musketeers " Toby Bluth Concept Painting.

(Disney, 2004) An original "color beat " concept painting for the animated film "Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers. " Featuring a fantastic image of Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, and the Beagle Boys, the hand-painted watercolor was created at the studio and used during the animation process. The painting was created and signed by legendary animator Toby Bluth and really exemplifies his incredible talents. Toby was particularly adept at creating an image that told a full story with great character design and background layouts. His talents were so well respected that the Disney Studios art program utilized him to design their limited edition sericels. A color beat like this would be used during production so the director could create a standard color palette for each scene in the film. Measuring 13.25 " x 18.5 " overall, with the image itself measuring 11.75 " x 16 ", the piece is in very good condition with minor edge wear and pinholes in the corners from studio use. A production sticker on the lower middle of the piece denotes its studio use.
