Little Orphan Annie “First Pass” Cartoon Pitch Concept Art by Alex Toth (1992).
In 1992, Alex Toth created these presentation pieces for Jack Mendelsohn for an idea to update the cast and franchise of Little Orphan Annie to a more dynamic animated cartoon format. These designs have the feel of a Jonny Quest style series and would have excited fans for sure! Included are regulars Daddy Warbucks, Sandy the dog, Annie, and a host of new characters. They appeared in Genius Animated: The Cartoon Art of Alex Toth on pages 321-323.
Each piece was created in ink and color marker on 11″ x 8.5″ yellow paper
