The beautiful book about Disney's version of "The Nutcracker Suite" from Fantasia released by Little Brown in 1941 contains some fascinating drawings of an insect orchestra.
I should probably know this, but do any of you have more information on that insect orchestra? Who drew those illustrations? Is the insect orchestra an abandoned project? Etc.
[UPDATE: The art was created by the artist Walt Scott.]

Howard Lowery had a "Concert Feature" model sheet at auction that was dated 11-1-39 with cricket violinists for a proposed bug orchestra segment. It sold for $9

Peter: Thanks. Sad when I forget my own posts. I still would love to know who drew those, though.
David: I wish I had seen that one. I would have bought it!
