Secret of Nimh Preliminary Background - ID: aprnimh21108

An original preliminary background from the Don Bluth Studios animated film "Secret of NIMH" (1982). Featuring a gorgeous rendering of thorny foliage, the hand-painted background was created at the studio and used during the development process. Don Bluth was notorious for his attention to detail and would often change the layout, look, or color palette in a scene after seeing dailies. A similar but slightly different background appears in the final version of the film. Measuring 10.5"x13.5" overall, with the image area measuring 10"x13.25", the preliminary background is in fine condition with minor wear from studio use and handling.
