Original SpongeBob Cel Production Background Walk Star
This animation cel and reproduction background are from the Nickelodeon TV show SpongeBob Squarepants. The story takes place under the deep blue sea in 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. Original Printed Background and Animated Cel Overall Size of Background: 11" x 17" The cel of SpongeBob is: 10 1/2" x 16 1/4" The cel of Patrick is: 10 1/2" x 20 1/2" Very good condition This 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 background accompanying this set-up is a hand-painted original production background. The printed background is ready to be matted and framed. It is a colored background with a cel and has the animator's notations at the bottom of the background and the cel. The background is a printed reproduction background. The cel is multilayered: the first cel is SpongeBob and the second cel is Patrick. There is a small tear on the top right corner on the cel with Patrick on it.
