57. Astro Boy Hand Rendered Animation Cel Art
One genuine hand-painted in watercolor animation background painting - 1 Cel - 1
Layout drawing - 1 piece story board photocopy with notes - 4 pieces
altogether. Astro Boy Cels are among the rarest of Japanese Animation
cels.
The cels are original animation cels used to create the new Astro Boy Animated
cartoon series (known as Atomu, or "Atom" in Japan). These cels were actually
used in production animation sequences. These are not "Fan Cels", the kind which
are simply made for collectors, but were never used in an animation. THESE ARE
THE REAL THING.
Astro Boy is probably the most well known character created by Tezuka Osamu
(also Kimba the White Lion, Black Jack, et al.), and these cels are from the
esteemed Tezuka Osamu studio in Japan. Dr. Osamu is often referred to as the
father of Japanese Anime, as well as the "Walt Disney" of Japan.
Background scene size: 28 x 46 cm, mylar cel overlay with Astroboy image is 23 x
26, Astroboy image itself is approx 4 cm tall.
Remember, this is a Hand Rendered (in watercolor), Original background scene
with matching cel. This is not a laser print. Many background scenes you see
offered are just laser printer prints, but this is the ORIGINAL background used
in the movie, and the Cel is matched. That means, the background and cel were
used together when making the film, as evidenced by the story board photocopies
which accompany this set.
