An animation cel is a piece of acetate, usually 10 1/2 x 12 1/2". Our original production cels were hand inked or printed, copying the line of the original animation drawings. Then they were hand painted with colors selected especially for each scene in the film. The cels were combined with the appropriate hand painted background, and then photographed. That photograph became one frame of the film. Each cel was numbered by scene, and numbered by its place in the scene. It also has the letter of the sequence from which it comes. A sequence is made up of several scenes. Each animation cel has its own individual letter and numbers. There are no duplicates. Each cel is sold with a fine quality print of the original background from the scene, the sequence, or the film.
