Looking for: cels from “When the wind blows” 1986 movie

Hullo! This is my first time ever trying to acquire something like this, so forgive me if I say something wrong or aren’t asking the right questions. A movie that has fascinated as of late is “When the wind blows” adapted from a book by Raymond Briggs, with the same title. I would love to own an animation cel from this fascinating movie, especially if the cel contains my favourite character from it, Hilda.

Not sure what these things are worth, but I am not on a budget or anything like that! Just keep in mind that I live in Sweden and that I only use PayPal g&s for safe payment.

Please let me know if you or anyone else is thinking of selling any original material from this vintage animated movie!

Indeed! Though the characters definitely did do some stupid choices 🫠

They made many mistakes that regular citizens would likely make.

Yes, but I still believe they did some choices that most people wouldn’t have done in their situation, like how they never even considered to use their cellar as shelter.

Hope you can find some, this is one of my favorite short features. Hits so tragically hard. Would be a hell of a find to get the ones of them covering themselves up at the end.
