(Universal, c.1988) Original poster development artwork for the animated feature film "The Land Before Time". The artwork features printed artwork combined with hand-painted and silkscreened elements throughout. The five main characters seen in the center were painted and trimmed to image, then applied to the printed background art. The white glow elements behind the main characters as well as some areas around the log they are walking on have been airbrushed or painted. Additionally, the lettering seen throughout is silkscreened onto the background image, and some yellow highlights in the film title are hand-painted. This poster development artwork went through a few changes before the finalized poster was chosen. The t-rex in this concept is much more detailed, some of the text has been altered, and the imagery was brightened for the final poster. These changes were likely made in conjunction with edits that occurred to the film in order to receive a G rating and make it less scary for younger audiences. The artwork has been applied to a large art board backing and measures 40"x26". The condition is very good overall, with some edge and corner wear to the board, and some lifting to the trimmed characters.
