An American Tail
Juli 1986
Drew worked directly with Steven Spielberg on this project. It
was Spielberg's first animated film project and, as he does with all
his
work, he wanted the poster to be special. Rather than the typical
"airbrush" rendition like other animated films, he went with Drew to
get
a more "heart felt" experience with this poster.
Drew recalls to mind that the film featured the Statue of Liberty in
the story. Do you recall, however, that at the time of the films
release the actual Statue had just been renovated and a new torch of
gold
had been put in place of the original one which had lit up.
Steven
was much involved with the event and the poster for the film recalls
when
the Statue was new as well as it's anniversary renovation. The
Statue
of Liberty National Monument officially celebrated her 100th birthday
on
October 28, 1986.
