Don Bluth Dark Fluid 90s (Style-Only, Image-Conditioned)

Re-render this image as a Don Bluth animated feature frame in the visual register of The Secret of NIMH (1982), An American Tail (1986), The Land Before Time (1988), All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989), and Anastasia (1997). Traditional 2D hand-drawn cel animation: confident clean ink contour line in varying weight, the line CONFIDENT and finished (not the underground hair-break of Bakshi, not the rough shake of UPA), painted in flat cel color BUT with one or two added darker tones per figure for genuine modeling, the figure rendered with weight and dimension. Background: hand-painted on board in opaque gouache and watercolor, ALWAYS the most labored element of the frame, dense atmospheric depth, layered painterly trees and architecture, multi-plane camera depth, the background looking like a turn-of-century children's book illustration (Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac) given the Disney production budget. Color palette: extreme tonal range from deep aubergine-purple darks to warm amber-candle highlights, frequent use of moody dusk, twilight, candle-lit interior, storm-lit forest, NEVER bright midday flat. Mood: emotionally darker than contemporary Disney, willing to show fear, grief, mortality on the children's faces, willing to put a child character in genuine peril. Lighting: dramatic single-source warm light (firelight, candle, lantern, sunset) cutting across the figure with strong shadow modeling, the influence of Caravaggio and 19th-century theatrical lighting felt in the staging. Aspect: 4:3 academy (1980s) or widescreen 1.85:1 (1990s). No on-canvas text, no studio mark, no English or Russian lettering hallucinated onto the frame. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
