COLD TURKEY (Disney, 1951)
OK, you know the drill by now. Here's the cartoon (thanks YouTube!):
Now, the background art by Thelma Witmer. I love the Disney touch as interpreting fifties style. Especially the kitchens! This cartoon is full of nifty fifties details.
PLUTO'S QUINPUPLETS (1937)
What a cute title card!
This first digitally re-assembled pan shot starts with the pups, pans up to the name on the doghouse, then pans left to the proud parents.
Isn't this a gorgeous backyard? I especially love the flower trellis. and note the artful disarray of the pots on the rear right - along with a bag of fertilizer and the old-fashioned lawn mower!
I could have digitally eliminated the worm but I liked him...so he stayed!
This huge pan B/G took considerable time to re-assemble. But whata great pice of B/G art!
The end of the cartoon and it's night-time...
The final restored pan:

PUEBLO PLUTO (Disney, 1949)
This terrific Disney cartoon features Mickey and Pluto, stopping to buy souvenirs in the Southwest. While Mickey is shopping, Pluto gets involved with a buffalo bone, and a puppy!
Background art is credited to Brice Mack.
Here's the setting. That's the souvenir shop at the top of the hill!
The next two shots feature the souvenir shop with its rustic wooden sidewalk, sombreros and brightly colored pots.
Out in the desert there's a variety of rock formations and cactus:
Here's a partially reconstructed pan background. Love that skeleton head!
As Pluto's fear gets the best of him, he starts to hallucinate, seeing monsters in the cactus formations. (Remember when Snow White had a similar experience in the forest?) This time it's played for laughs. Great, imaginative caricatures! This is one of those rare times where non-cel "background paintings" actually become featured characters in a film.
These barbed-wire cactus thorns look dangerous!
Here's a beautifully composed desert landscape.
Last but not least, a digitally restored Pan B/G of the desert and souvenir shop.
