Pagemaster Original Massive Capt. Ahab & Moby Dick Rotunda Dome Ceiling Painting Set Piece - From the beloved all star live-action/Animation fantasy feature “The Pagemaster” (1994) comes this once-in-a-lifetime piece of movie history. An amazing mammoth-size section of the actual screen used fully painted rotunda dome set. It is seen to great extent at the beginning of the film when Richard, (Macaulay) Culkin runs through Mr. Dewey/ The Pagemaster's (Christopher Lloyd) library and confronts this dome that has, painted on its ceiling, the four classic story themes: Fantasy, Horror, Adventure and Heroics. The massive impressive paintings all end up melting onto the floor and come to life, sending Macaulay into their fantasy world. Having been driven into the open waters of the Land of Adventure they encounter the obsessed and totally insane Captain Ahab (George Hearn), who is out to kill the giant whale, Moby Dick. The stunning panoramic paintings were created by legendary Award-Winning International Artist/Illustrator Chris Hopkins, known for his work on such epics as "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", and "Star Wars - Return of the Jedi". He was specially selected by producer David Kirschner for this monumental job. Hopkins created these super-sized tableau life-like creations utilizing classic oils, to invoke the feeling of classic children book illustrations seen through a child's imagination, as well as their dreams and fears. Each section is sold separately, but if one buyer collects the full set, they will also receive the additional rotunda connecting set pieces to re-create the dome. Mr. Hopkins will also personally signed each section to the buyer. Because of its size, please allow for in-studio pick-up or third-party shipping. Captain Ahab & Moby Dick section is approx 58"x58".
