Animation Cels From Television

Beginning with the Baby Boomers, Americans have grown up watching animated television series, most of which appeared on Saturday mornings. I know I did. I'd be glued to the set from dawn until noon. In the era of cable television channels devoted to children, animation has continued to grow in popularity and sophistication. Given the fate of so many cels at Disney and Warner Bros., it's a wonder so much of this art has survived. We're happy to be able to share some with you.

Mr. Magoo 1001 Arabian Nights Cel

This is an original production cel from the 1959 television special "1001 Arabian Nights" featuring the near-sighted cartoon character, Mr. Magoo, who was a staple of theatrical short subjects in the 1950s and was voiced by the late great actor Jim Backus. Most people know Jim Backus best for his portrayal of Thurston Howell the Third in the popular sitcom "Gilligan's Island", but he was an accomplished film actor when he started doing the voice of the nearly blind tycoon Mr. Magoo. The cel is 10x8" in a 14x17" studio-supplied mat that is inscribed "An original drawing from UPA's 1001 Arabian Nights". The Mr. Magoo image is about 5" high.

Pink Panther Production Cel

This is an original production cel from the Pink Panther television series from the late 1960's. The series was produced by legendary Warner Bros. animator Friz Freleng. This humorous cel shows the Pink Panther and his nemisis in a classic tree-sawing scene. The cel is 12x9" in a 14x18" mat. The Pink Panther image is about 4" high.

New Adventures of Mighty Mouse Production Cel

This is an original production cel from the "New Adventures of Mighty Mouse" television series from the late 1980's. The series was produced by legendary Ralph Bakshi and shows our hero confronting some villainous cats in pirate costumes. The cel is 9x12" in a 12x16" mat.

Superfriends Panther Original Animation Cel

A nice production cel from the Filmation TV series "Superfriends", c. 1970. It looks sort of like a panther to me, but it's obviously some general monster foe. It comes with a supplied background. It measures 9x11" cel opening in a 12x16" mat.

Fang Face Model Cel

This is a model cel from the 1978 television series "Fang Face" from Ruby-Spears Enterprises. The first series by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, who had left Hanna-Barbera to form their own production company. The cel measures 8x12" in a 12x16" mat.

Pentel Pens Commercial Cel

This is an original production cel from a commercial for Pentel Pens from the late 1980's. The series was produced by Duck Soup Studios. The cel is 12x8" in a 14x18" mat and carries the ASIFA Hollywood seal and Certificate of Authenticity. We bought it at an ASIFA convention where they sold these cels to raise funds for the organization.

IBM Commercial Clown Cel

This is an original production cel from a 1980's vintage IBM commercial. The value here is simply the wonderful image of the clown. The cel is 9x12" in a 12x16" mat.
