concept art for TLM by Mary Blair

[Princess Forever]

Does anyone know where I could find pics of the concept art Mary Blair did when TLM was considered for animation after Snow White?

I'm not aware of any Mary Blair art for the film as TLM was being worked on before her time at the studio, I think.

However here's some art from Kay Nielsen (Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria in Fantasia), which may be what you're thinking of:

Beautiful art, isn't it?

Where's her bra? .
Yeah,it's pretty pictures,you can find them in the PE.
(By the way-What happening to her in the last picture? it looks like she's a sea foam but in Walt's version she was supposed to die after a wave crushed on her).

Normally, mermaids don't wear a bra, that is more something from the disney movie. In the original story, she (The mermaid) was naked, with her hair covering her upper body.
And I heard she was also becoming sea foam after the wedding in the Walt version?

Man, Walt's The Little Mermaid would've been beautiful if he had the time to revisit it...

Although it's been a good 19 years since TLM came out, it still doesn't feel like a "classic". Although that may be a good thing, I'd love to see such an elegant story get a fairytale-esque treatment like Sleeping Beauty received.

I was thinking about that a while ago as well. While I would've loved to see how Walt would've created TLM, as it would have had much more refined and breathtaking animation, I couldn't imagine watching anything other than the version I know. To be completely honest, as a child I wasn't particularly fond of any of the 'classics' of the Walt era. Except for, perhaps, Dalmatians. So, in a way, I'm glad Walt never got back to it.

Thanks for the pics!!!
I wonder what TLM would have looked like if done around the time of Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty?
