Disney Production Cel & Original Drawing Ducktales Art
Walt Disney's DuckTales was the first daily animated cartoon show to air weekdays on the Disney Afternoon. DuckTales debuted in 1988. The 1988 - 1989 season consisted of 65 episodes. The next season (1989 - 1990) included an additional 35 episodes, totaling 100. DuckTales is an extremely unique and original cartoon. Episodes such as "Sweet Duck of Youth," "Dr Jekyll and Mr. McDuck," "The Golden Fleecing" and many more play off of legends, literature, and actual historic events. Disney's DuckTales also uses clever "duck" names for characters, as well as creatively used puns to add life to this excellent show. There is a matching original production drawing overlay (of Dewey's head) that is on top of the cel. Production cel: A hand-painted animation cel that was actually used to create one frame of an animated scene that appeared in a cartoon. Dewey, being the most clever of the three brothers, appears to have come up with another brilliant idea.Original Production Cel Art with Background Copy Original "rough" animation drawing, with the notations in black.

Drawings are a key part of the process, in which the animator creates the design and movement of the characters. Drawings are then transferred onto acetate cels (by hand-inking and/or photo copying) to create a production cel, which is then hand-painted on the back side, using paint colors chosen and approved by the creators of the series.The background, drawing, and cel are ready to trimmed, matted, and framed.
