Vic made these bold color styling suggestions for the Disney short GOLIATH II (1960), based on the Bill Peet story. Needless to say, Disney didn’t use this approach, and opted for more conservative color styling by veteran background painter Ralph Hulett.

Hi: Vic Haboush’s designs are are dynamic, brilliant and exciting. However, wasn’t the final design of Goliath II also daring in its day? This was the first film ever to deal with Xerography with a lot of the problems that entailed. The choice wss obviously to focus on the line - the line of the characters and the backgrounds. The style was successful and used in a lot of other films thereafter. It shows us how intelligent the choices were when viewing such brilliant art as Vic Hoboush created. Thank you for sharing.

Agree. Yes, fantastic artwork nevertheless.

Bill Peet’s drawings for Goliath II (Well, those I see in the Golden books of the day) accomodate the idea for xerox use with his rough pen lines.
(Heck, then why not a film animated in art pencil and pen?
BTW look for re-use animation from Dumbo in Goliath II.
Wonderful site, Amid. It’s an education reading your research.
