I'm at comic con on the weekend and I realised some of the Turtles voice actors were there, so very last minute Ive managed to get my hands on some animation cels from the show
What pen would you recommend for getting these signed? I have a bunch of coloured sharpies here, but not sure if they will fade.
I did also consider getting some acetate to cover the cel and get that signed, anyone got thoughts on that
There is lots of cels from the 90s “My Little Pony Tales” TV show, but the original “My Little Pony N’ Friends”, and pilot episode “Rescue at Midnight Castle” have like no cels online from what I’ve tried researching.
It’s something I’d love to buy in the future, but I have had a really hard time digging up anything related to them. Not even production drawings. Could they been majority tossed away since the preservation of cels wasn’t as pushed in the 80s?
Thanks for any help or pointers!
Hi everyone,
new to collecting animation pieces! Just wanted your opinion on these and general tips on how to spot fake ones; for example the Simpsons one does not have any annotation etc. . What would you check? Bought all of these with a couple of pink Panther cels .
Thank you!!
Bought this production cel in the 90s. It's 5 sheets and the background.
It's Treehouse of Horrors, season 4 (I think)
COA from Fox and signed by Matt Groening.
There was a special event and he also personalized it with a shout out, sketch of Bart, and another signature
In order: Gon, Killua, Hisoka, and Karupika. I bought these at a convention in the 90's. The original 1999 Nippon Animation anime Hisoka had blue hair.
Specifically looking for a cel of Gon and Killua in the same shot. I missed my chance at getting a very affordable and adorable one on eBay a few months ago and have been searching for something similar since.
I’d love to see anything available in that guideline, thank you!
I’ve owned this cel since the 90’s. I fished out of a large box at a comic fair in Haarlem, The Netherlands.
The image appealed to me – I suspect Japanese in origin, but that’s just a guess.
Would love to know the name of the production..
Just wanted to share where my collection is at right now! A mix of cels and production drawings, and one background.
These are all pieces from shows I love, almost a year and a half into collecting.
Hello!
I am someone with a BFA in animation (graduated last year) and I have a piece of equipment that I recently realized could potentially have a lot of value.
At the end of the semester, my college was giving away old equipment at a first come, first serve basis and I just happened to make it in time to grab something.
I’m not sure as to why I grabbed this, but I thought it would be a cool piece of memorabilia (although it was heavy as hell to lug around the cities and subways).
I grabbed a traditional “Lightfoot led easel design pro animation lightbox with rotating disc”. It was equipment they taught us traditional animation on in our first years of the semester so we can understand what it was like to animate back in old Disney eras.
I’ve been selling some stuff on eBay and got curious as to how much this would sell for as I haven’t been really using it and just had it laying around.
Apparently, this item doesn’t show up anywhere. Not on eBay, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace, not even the original company’s website. I was digging anywhere that could even give me the name of this item.
I’ve only gotten a nugget of something from some old animation guide from 2009.

Apparently this lightbox is from a company called “Lightfoot” and is no longer in production, making it super scarce.
Especially now with indie animation on the rise, many collectors, professional animators, or enthusiasts are wanting to get their hands on old equipment like this.
With how difficult it was to find this item online, I’m wondering if I should sell it? I don’t really have no use for it as I’m more on the digital animation train rather than pencil and paper (I was also able to snatch a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 from a different giveaway for free lol).
Would anyone on here possibly be interested in this item? Due to the scarcity of it, possibly only being available in animation colleges, good working condition with all the pieces, and cross referencing prices from the company’s website, I can see this item go up to $600 or even higher.
What are your thoughts/advice?
I recently bought this cel at a convention and would now like to ask the community for help in finding the episode for this cel.
Another group of wonderful support cast with stunning colors. And the birds sure look like the ones thrown into “Truth About Mother Goose” cel I posted earlier.
I’m framing a genga/douga and an animation cel separately and wanted to check if my framing approach makes sense for each.
For the cel, I’m thinking:
For the genga/douga, would you frame it with the same level of care/materials, or is standard archival paper framing enough?
Basically: does a production drawing need the same conservation approach as a cel, or are the major concerns mostly specific to acetate cels (sticking, paint transfer, humidity, etc.)?
Has hydrosis or wavy cel syndrome, no flaky paint
Options A, B, C and D for the framing
Hey -- We will be framing this soon and we'd welcome opinions about the best framing option (A, B, C, D) or anything better you can think of? Has anyone here framed a cel setup with 4 mats?
I think so :(. Even the numbers on the top right are the same. The back looks very clean.
One set of photos is from a listing on eBay rn and one is in my possession
