The Art and Soul of Bolt
Animation as fine art? With a nod to the past for inspiration,
Disney's upcoming "Bolt" proves animated features can rival the
beauty and power of any painting. Taking cues from the art world,
Disney animators have captured the essence of Edward Hopper's
visual poetry by giving "Bolt" a lush, painterly feel reminiscent
of Disney greats "Pinocchio" and "Bambi" ... which is precisely
what the creative team hoped to achieve.
Opening November 21, "Bolt" tells the tale of a TV super-hound
forced to face his own real-life limitations while on a
cross-country rescue mission to save best pal Penny from fiendish
criminal mastermind, Dr. Calico. The power pup soon discovers his
laser vision, lightning speed, super strength, and devastating bark
- capable of leveling tall buildings - are merely the result of TV
special effects.

YOUR QUESTION
One of the "Wonderful World of Disney" episodes featured a
demonstration on pin striping a car but I don't recall if this was
a show segment or the entire show. The artist received a call just
after he started painting two dots/stripes. While on the phone, the
dots raced all around the car. After hanging up, he saw what they
had done. What was this from?
