for the longest time I've been trying to find the matte paintings from the movie forbidden planet in some hi-resolution scan. Any idea where they are?

Theres only one matte from FP here but I thought it might interest anyway as it shows well the lost art of matte work the early CGI.

Extremely rare talent these people have in producing them {and not at an inconsiderable speed} Great works
