Dwarfs Mine Ride Concept Art 1970s

I purchased this piece a while ago from Howard Lowery. It was listed as an imagineering concept piece from the 1970s or 1980s. I believe it was created during the development of the New Fantasyland in the late 1970s for the Snow White's Scary Adventure ride. I do like the characterization of the dwarves, and the mine scene and the song "Heigh Ho" has always been my favorites in the movie.

Neat piece! Those Howard Lowery auctions were so much fun, he sure had a lot of amazing stuff!

I would agree with Major Pepperidge... There were a number of exciting times when we'd get an auction catalog, send in a bid and then wait to see what happened.

Ah, well....

A great piece of art -- regardless of its end use!
