An original background color key concept from the Disney Studios animated film, "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" (2001). Featuring a gorgeous rendering of Milo following Kida as they swim underwater and discover the lost technology of Atlantis, the hand-painted concept was created at the studio by Joaquim Royo Morales, and used during the development of the film. Color key concepts were often used to develop and finalize the color palette, layout of the action, and the overall feel of the scene. When a color concept is finalized during production, it becomes the reference tool that animators use to paint cels and backgrounds, as well as to further progress through the storyboarding and layout of the individual scenes. Measuring 4.5"x14.25", overall with the image itself measuring 2.25"x5.5" each, the concept is in very good condition with minor surface and handling wear due to age and studio use.
