Picked up this wonderful new addition to the collection from eBay. An original painted background from when Peter and Lucy are looking out across the lake at Marvin in the water.

A screen capture from the special. You can see how dark and washed out the available version is from the original. C’mon remastered BluRay!
Animated gif showing the original behind the available version.
Detail of the painting. It’s beautiful!
Bought with a cel of Lucy at the rescue.
Lucy looks a bit dopey, but it’s from a sequence where she’s distressed watching Jellybean try to rescue Marvin.

It’s so great to be able to add an original background to the collection, to show the care, attention and detail in all those original production aspects. (Thanks Dale and Dave!). My hope is some day in the future AI can be used to transpose some of the original detail and correct colours into a preserved version. Perhaps that’s crazy to hope for, but who knows. At very least, we can see how incredible the original art was and is!
