"Sleeping Beauty" is by far my favorite animated Disney film, and when I came across these preliminary drawings I knew I had to post them. Eyvind Earle's amazing background art for the film was influenced by everything, from the art of the middle ages to japanese wood block prints. These graphic styles are the perfect backdrop for this beloved fairytale.
