2 Drawings Original Thank You Cel Animation Spongebob
This original animation cel, drawing, and photocopied background is from the Nickelodeon TV show SpongeBob Squarepants. The story takes place under the deep blue seain Bikini Bottom, where SpongeBob resides. SpongeBob, who is a yellow,porous sponge, is your typical happy-go-lucky character, as he is always cheerful and enjoys making people laugh. Patrick Star, SpongeBob's neighbor who is a starfish, is your average children's show idiot, as he boasts knowing nothing and is often getting himself into ridiculous situations. Between the homes of these two lies the home of the miserable Squidward, a squid, who is known for being grouchy and playing tricks on SpongeBob and Patrick. Both SpongeBob and Squidward work at the Krusty Krab, a fast food business run by the greedy money-loving Mr. Krabs, a crab, the arch rival of the evil, possibly misunderstood, Plankton. Another neighbor, Sandy Cheeks, an athletic squirrel who normally wears an astronaut's space suit, was introduced in "Tea at the Treedome." She spends most of her time inventing and experimenting. * What a great welcome home party, thanks everybody... The cel comes with two bonus drawing overlays that closely match the cel of what appears to a welcome home party for someone. The cel also comes with a photocopied background of the outside of Spongebob's house. * * Original Production Animated Cel and DrawingOriginal "rough" animation drawing, in black and red, with notations in brown. Overall Size of Drawing: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2"Overall Size of Cel: 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" Overall Size of Photocopied Background: 10" x 14 1/4" * Very Good ConditionThis is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants." Each one-of-a-kind set-up represents a slight change in position of the characters. When individually photographed and projected in rapid succession, the images appear to move. * To create production cels, the original animator's drawing is transferred onto an acetate cel (by hand-inking and/or photo copying). The cel is then hand-painted on the reverse side. * The cel, drawing, and photocopied background is ready to be matted and framed. The animator's notations are at the bottom of all of the pieces. The cel consists of several layers. There is some slight paint fade to Spongebob's outline. There is some creases and folds to the photocopied background * *
