Somethings coming out of that cave. the Peregoys, as interesting as they are design wise are a tad more confusing. I actually find that first picture more interesting than most of the animation backgrounds today I’d argue that the first Bg sends yourey where its supposed to go.

I really think he pulled up the design elements a wee bit, especially on shows like "Penelope Pitstop". Amid, you ever check out Peregoy’s background work for H-B in the late 1960’s?

If a given background doesn't get much onscreen time it can't be overly complex or it won't read. Background designers and painters should know (because their directors should tell them) which of their pieces will get prominent exhibition in a given film.

The focus of their efforts was definitely more on the characters than on backgrounds.

I haven't seen this in other classic cartoon oriented blogs but it's another UPA short here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUrs3IOARt8 i know this is an off topic comment but i hope you might find this interesting Amid.

In regard to your thought, "I don’t believe BGs should make one tingle but complement the action" — it's not an either/or proposition. A background can make one tingle AND complement the action. The BUNYAN bgs are a wonderful fit for the characters in the film, and they're exciting to look at. The H-B backgrounds may complement the action, but they sure don't do much else.

They did this alot with Yogi's cave...or a strategically placed crack on Pixie &amp; Dixie's hole to define an overlay. This is an example of how one can't bar the schedule and budget from such comparisons; such a device would do away with need of drawing matchlines if the BG were one level(time-consuming and costlier requiring progressive animation), the animation could be on a pan cel (much cheaper and quicker). …I would like to add that while those rocks in the HB one add contrast in the composition, they are functional as an overlay for whatever was to go into or come out of that cave.

I don't believe BGs should make one tingle but complement the action. Now, the others certainly are lovely Bgs and do stand alone better as fine art (than the H-B one)...but I don't think that should necessarily be a prerequsite for a better BG.
