An original background color key concept painting from the Don Bluth Studios production of The Land Before Time (1988). Featuring one of the most powerful images of Mama Longneck, brontosaurus, with her head reaching up to the promising tree star, the hand-painted concept was created at the studio and used during the early production of the film. The concept was used to develop and finalize the color palette for the scene, the layout of the action, and the overall feel of the pivotal sequence. When a color concept is finalized during production, it becomes the reference tool that animators would use to paint cels and backgrounds, as well as to further progress through the storyboarding and layout of the individual scenes. Measuring 10"x14.5" framed, with the mat opening measuring 4.5"x9", the concept is in fine condition with minimal frame wear.
