Cel animation is intriguing, similarly to digital animation, computer-generated imagery, and stop motion animation. That’s an impressive collection you have.
For the Flintstones cel, I'd suggest showing to some lost media folks. There's some smart folks in that community that can know something exists, without having it most of the time. And the penguin one, the watchtower database. They're the definitive group online for everything related to Batman TAS and other shows in that continuity. Dope collection btw!
The Flintstones one is from a fruity pebbles commercial, Barney is wearing purple for the introduction of the grape flavored pebbles most likely. The fruity pebbles box design seen on another similar cel was used from 85-87, but that auction didn't have any information on a specific year either (just said 70s-80s Flintstones).
Yes, nice collection of animation cels! 😀👍🏽 I've seen animation cels in person when I went to Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) back in 2020 and 2022. They had a booth with a lot of Warner Bros., Disney, Hanna-Barbera, Peanuts, and Star Trek: The Animated Series animation cels.
really cool cels you got there i kinda wanted to start my own cel collection to have some animation art up on my wall, but i chose the worst possible time to do it, like how you described it, where everything's about nostalgia and internet culture the most i got was this flintstones lithograph of fred and pebbles that was on sale for $50-something, and a frame of scratch from AOSTH i got dirt cheap
@@harasen_haras5 yeah the real thing, is a time consuming, complicated, expensive, and often times messy when using inks and paint. That you can now do completely on a tablet. Still time consuming, but not nearly as long as it saves you about 150 steps. And you don't end up spending so much money on ink and paint, and celluloid, etc, painting 24 cels for 1 second. The funny thing is Tim Burton said he left traditional animation because of how long it took to make a single second of work. But then he went on to work in stop motion, which also requires you to move the figures 24 frames per second. I guess he was trying to make a point. But it was completely lost on me. He traded one long time consuming type of animation for another one that takes just as long to animate.
@@harasen_haras5 I may not be an animator yet, but, apparently, you could use something like a dry erase sheet and a marker to emulate the process of cel animation. Not saying that you should, but there is a possibility that it could work, but that's just my opinion.
I loved watching Rocko on Nicktoons Network when I was 8 or 9 for a lot of the same reasons. It was a bit earlier than my time but dang was it different from anything else I've seen from Nickelodeon.
Hey Media, thumbs up on the vids. As a thank you: I know where the Penguin cel is from. It's from about 10 minutes into I GOT BATMAN IN MY BASEMENT where there's a car chase. Not the most beloved episdoe of the show, but hey, your grandpa probably didn't know and it's a great gift. I also think the Nautro cel might be something done for the cel market or something: to my knowledge, the entire anime was done digitally; was never on cels. Great stuff all around, keep it up! That Bugs Bunny cel is great!
My grandfather is a huge cartoon fan and he bought 2 cels from the original Jungle Book movie from 1967 for a dollar at Disneyland during the movie’s release. They had a Walt Disney Authenticity Sticker on the back of the cels
15:01 yes, they are George and Junior. And I hope Warner Brothers revives tex Avery’s other MGM characters. (because we need more of classic Hanna-Barbera, and MGM and less of Velma. that show makes Ren & Stimpy adult party cartoon look like fantasia)
17:16 I started my cel collection and only focus on shows I watched as a kid or shows that I'm a big fan of. I've picked a lot more production drawings because.... I don't know! Some cels I won't ever get because they're priced for so much but the production drawings will probably be my only options or sometimes I just prefer the production drawings over cels (it's weird I know) but man, I get being priced out of hobbies lol
After having found where your Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? cel came from, I can confirm that it comes from the episode “Parents”, not “Embarrassment” as you said in the video.
You actually kind of inspired me to collect animation cels, i got my first cel from an episode from beavis and butthead called eating contest of buttheads laughing frames
I’m curious on where you found that SpongeBob cel for 30 bucks. I wanna get my hands on SpongeBob production art but the prices would make Mr Krabs have a stroke!
You should really mat your cels. They're really vulnerable when you just put them in frames like that. If you truly love your collection please treat it with care, you have some great pieces!
I have some animation cels already framed, but I want to know if there's a company I can send them into to have them properly framed. It's a cell of Spunky Rocko's dog. I also have an animation cel set from the Tezuka movie Jungle Emperor Leo and cel from Sailor Moon of Artemis the white cat. I would love to have them properly matted, and put in a frame with the glass that prevents sun damage and fading. The Jungle Emperor Leo cel set is made up of Leo and his two clubs on a copy of the original background and not the original.
There's so many flintstones series. So you gotta watch all of them, and figure it out. I doubt it's a fruity pebbles ad, because they aren't holding cereal bowls.
Strange about the Naruto cel since correct me if I'm wrong since I haven't watched in years, wasn't he a major minion of Orochimaru as part of the final pre-Shippuden arc (not counting the like, 3-4 seasons of filler content)?
The reason why they abandoned this form of animation, which is very superior to what we have now is that people got lazy and don't want to spend the money to do it. It's pure nonsense. They could definitely do it if they wanted to and if they wanted to put that hard work into it.
Sometimes they are kept in storage units and people can inherit them that way if they buy the unit in an auction. Also staff members on productions were able to keep some animation cels for themselves. But you are right, unfortunately many got destroyed because they weren’t seen as pieces of art but rather a byproduct of the animation process.

That Garfield cel is awesome. So many good memories of that show. 🎉

THIS IS AMAZINGG I WISH I COULD BUY A CELL FROM PIZZA DELIVERY
Wow. Love these cels!
As a young aspiring cartoonist who has almost only animated digitally, this sort of thing makes me wanna experiment with doing cel animation.
You're gonna have to become very rich first, because that is a lot more expensive. Hence why it looks so much better.
@@joeybaseball7352 Not sure I'd wanna own a full sized setup. I'd just wanna experiment with something small and make a simple animation.

That’s amazing. Where did you get these?
You can find one on eBay
Yeah, but unless if you have like $500+ well you can't get one
This makes me so jealous! I've always wanted a Ren and Stimpy animation cel!
I love animation cells I have read a whole video about this sing all those in your video really makes me happy
These are really cool! I don't own any cells but I have a Pepe Le Pew style guide and my house is wall-to-wall Pepe Le Pew art and memorabilia.

I wish Hand/Cel Animation. Was still a thing.
the first one (jellyfish jam) is my favorite
Where did you purchase cels? I have wanted to buy them for a long long time. Thanks for your help!
You can mostly buy them on eBay
I’m curious on where you found that SpongeBob cel for 30 bucks. I wanna get my hands on SpongeBob production art but the prices would make Mr Krabs have a stroke!
this is sick!
Epic
where did you get the robot jones cel?
That Garfield & Odie cel is my favorite!

As it turns out, it was a Fruity Pebbles ad.
@@mediamementosofficial oh cool, which one?
That’s the thing. It’s still lost. We found some pictures of it but that’s about it.
16:14 I what’s an expecting this
11:31 🤣
Strange about the Naruto cel since correct me if I'm wrong since I haven't watched in years, wasn't he a major minion of Orochimaru as part of the final pre-Shippuden arc (not counting the like, 3-4 seasons of filler content)?

True, but cell Animation is extremely time-consuming.
You might be lucky to find another cheap cel.
Uhhh, if anyone will answer, how are animation cels found, I thought most of them were burned after use
Sometimes they are kept in storage units and people can inherit them that way if they buy the unit in an auction. Also staff members on productions were able to keep some animation cels for themselves. But you are right, unfortunately many got destroyed because they weren’t seen as pieces of art but rather a byproduct of the animation process.
Yep I got a SpongeBob one for 78 bucks
Where do you buy the cels?
eBay usually has them
10:02: no offense man, but that Bugs Bunny impression was just pathetic!
All the best cartoons were made on cels.
Including the original Animaniacs?
@@DennisTamayo I like Animaniacs. I watched it quite a bit in the 90s. I even had a small stuffed beanie of Wakko.
