Lilo & Stitch Cut Scene Concept Painting by Chris Greco (2002) - ID: jul24162

A rare color key concept painting from the Disney Studios animated film "Lilo & Stitch" (2002). Featuring a large airplane flying very low to the ground between buildings, the hand-painted concept was created at the studio by Chris Greco and used during the animation process. This concept comes from a deleted scene in which Stitch, Pleakly, Nani, and Jumba hijack a 747 and fly it through Honolulu. However, due to the catastrophic events of 9/11, the airplane was changed into Jumba's spaceship. Color key concepts are used to develop and finalize the color palette, layout of the action, and the overall feel of the scene. When a color concept is finalized during production, it becomes the reference tool that animators use to paint cels and backgrounds and further progress through the storyboarding and layout of the individual scenes. Greco is known for his work as a background artist on several Disney features including "Mulan," "Tarzan," and "Brother Bear." Measuring 6"x9" overall, with the actual image measuring 4.5"x7.5", the concept is in very good condition with a slight scratch above the red car near the bottom right and light marks to the reverse, including graphite notations.
