Background Orig Ren and Stimpy Show and Cel
This original production art cel and background is from the Nickelodeon TV show Ren & Stimpy. The show follows two characters - Ren, a crazy Chihuahua - and - Stimpy, an incredibly stupid cat - as they think up to all kinds of hair brained schemes and get themselves into some sticky situations. The Ren and Stimpy Show debuted in August 1991 with a two-part episode, 'Stimpy's Big Day / The Big Shot' and became an instant hit. It was the third Nicktoon ever to be aired on the Network alongside Doug and Rugrats. We believe that in this cel is the top of a rocketship and a platform going into outerspace.Original Production Art Cel Original Production Background Overall Size of Background: 10 1/2" x 29 1/2"Overall Size of Cels: 13 1/2" x 17 1/2" and 10 1/2" x 17 1/2"Excellent condition This is an original hand-painted cel set-up used in the production of an episode of "The Ren & Stimpy Show." 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 background accompanying this set-up is a hand-painted original production background. The cel and background are ready to be matted and framed. The animator's notations are shown at the top of the cels and at the bottom of the background. The cel has multilayers; first the top of a rocketship and then the platform. The notations are taped to the bottom of the first cel. There are scratch marks at the top of the background. Close pins and paperclip were used to hold down the cels to minimize a reflection. The cel and background have been stored and rolled.
