A few more photos from my collection when I walked through the studio on Hart Street in Van Nuys California in 1986.
These are just a few of the backgound artists with the American Tail BG's and color keys from the different sequences pinned up on the walls.
The Background Department was lead by Background Stylist Don Moore.
His team of artists were:William { Bill } Lorencz
David Goetz
Barry Atkinson
Richard Bentham
with also Mannix Bennett and David McCamley apprenticing.

On the right are color keys from 'An American Tail'

What Barry's room looked like mid 1986. The 'Music Room' was located straight outside his room and Don's room was to the right a few doors down.
