Artist Brenda Chapman recalls the development process of the "Pines of Rome" sequence rom Fantasia 2000 and the preliminary artworks offered in the present lot below:
"Mike Gabriel and Hendel Butoy were the original directors [of Fantasia 2000], however Mike eventually moved on to co-direct Pocahontas, leaving Hendel as sole director of the 'Pines of Rome' section of what was then called FANTASIA CONTINUED.
[Gabriel and Butoy] were keen on the idea of something flying that shouldn't be, like sail boats or ships. That made me think of the sea, and listening to the music, I felt it should start under the surface and not on top. I visualized whales majestically rising up with the build in the music, and the faster lighter music bringing in a more childlike essence of the baby whale. My original concept was to make it more of a migration of whales across a continent from one ocean into another, with whales breaching in storm clouds—but the final piece eventually went in a different direction. Still beautiful and magical."
