DONALD AND THE WHEEL (1961)


This re-created pan background is from the rather obscure Disney film "DONALD AND THE WHEEL."

To be absolutely precise, this is just the "Roman" section of an incredibly long pan B/G which takes us through several eras in history. The Egyptian section which precedes this is a hoot, I'll re-create it one day.

This was one of the B/Gs that took far longer than anticipated. Since Donald was flying across the landscape in a chariot with two horses, I could only grab small sections at a time. But it's a B/G worth a good look. The design is lean but very stylish.

Et tu, Donald!
