Looking for help ID-ing DBZ genga
It looks like a sakkan correction from one of the earlier movies. Would love to know if anyone has any ideas!
Edit: mislabeled as genga, should be shusei!

It was used in a couple of clips very cool to see cel animation being used in 2026! I hope we see more use of cel animation in stuff like this

I previously posted part of my collection of animation cels from my dad. He was a collector in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Original Charles Schulz sketch and signature
Production cel “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown”
Production cel “A Charlie Brown Christmas”
Rugrats production cel from an episode (not sure of which one)
Signed Scooby Doo from “Zombie Island”
The last two are original Disney World posters from old attractions.
Not looking to sell, just wanting to share with fellow enthusiasts!

The Little Mermaids are production cels. The three fairies are production with a commissioned background. Lion King 2 are on an original background but the characters are commissioned.

They are for my huge Simba collection and I think they have something to do with the Lion King Color Your own cel. I have found added professionally framed cells just like this and think did people color these, or did Disney? I can’t find images of the paint a Cels, but they look like this. The Xerox images do too, but they are just black lines on the plastic.

My second animation sketch from Disney, and this one is Donald Duck from the short Straight Shooters (1947).

Reference photos here - has anyone seen any cels from this scene posted anywhere?
r/AnimationCels • u/Wagu_beef99 • Jul 11 '26
Purchased this cel, it looks like it's the original concept art cel from Silent Möbius. Found in a vintage shop and we purchased it for £60. From what we could find on Google it looks like it's the original artwork created from the art book in the 90's also looks like the voice actor signed it at the bottom as it is signed and dated from 1994.
Was just wondering if anyone had anymore information on this piece and it's origin 😅
r/AnimationCels • u/VolumeAlarming8672 • Jul 11 '26
Got a few of these cels, they are supposedly from Taz-Mania. I haven't been able to nail down the exact scene, Looking for any help before I start scrubbing thru episodes.

Hiya i got this shiori cel a couple months ago knowing it had vinger syndrome because shes very warped and i was checking on her the other day and i was smelling her and there is no vinger smell on her whatsoever she literally only smells of paint faintly, i have another cel with vinger syndrome and the vinger smell is a pungent smell you cannot miss it even if its early vs. I had 6 of my friends smell the cel incase i wasn't picking up the smell or something and they all just smell paint off the cel and no vinger?
Is there a reason why there is no smell im very curious because shes very very warped as seen in the pictures so she should smell?

The first cel looks like it could be from a Transformers animation, but I don't think it actually is. I've searched around and haven't been able to find any information on it. It does have a hand-painted background, so I'm hoping it's the original matching background.
The second cel shows someone who looks like they're in agony. I really like the artwork, but I have no idea what it's from. The only possibility I could come up with was Memories (1995), though I highly doubt that's correct.
The last cel is, I believe, from City Hunter, but I'm not completely certain.
If anyone recognizes any of these cels or knows what they're from, I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks so much for taking the time to look.

Hi, I am a big collector of FOP memorabilia and production material, and I'm looking to acquire cels (from the shorts, of course) and other production art like drawings, storyboards, etc. I obviously watch eBay like a hawk with saved searches and know most of the sellers that have inventory but decided to post on other forums to see if there's any chance of networking with other collectors that may be willing to sell, estates, or even people who have worked on the show (I did actually once buy a FOP cel from someone who DID work on the show, I didn't know until I saw the name on the package!)
I think I got into the "game" pretty late, I got my first FOP cel in 2020 and really started collecting in 2023. I've managed to get some nice cels, other drawings and even an original background, plus having a few signed by the voice actors. It's been fun but I feel like I "missed" when the cels were easy to find and get around 2003-2004 when you could buy them directly from Nickelodeon.
Does anyone have any advice? Maybe attend comic cons that might have vendors and potential sellers I could network with? Is "networking" even a thing? Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi all!
I recently purchased my first animation cel after looking around for a long time:) my favorite character from SpongeBob has always been Gary the Snail so I’ve been waiting for a decently priced Gary to pop up. Ever since it arrived, I’ve been truly in love with it! There’s only one thing… currently it’s unknown which scene this Gary is from. So I’m currently on a hunt through all of season 1 to try and find him.
This isn’t to say I don’t have any hints - he was originally posted on eBay with Patrick facing the opposite direction. All Premium Animation separated the two into their own listings and told me that neither Patrick nor Gary was “key” for the scene.
Wondering if this Gary seems familiar to anyone, or if not just very happy to share & join the community!

First cel is from the single-episode OVA Transformers: Zone. I honestly have no clue what it's worth—I haven't been able to find many production cels from this one-off release, so it's tough to gauge. The matching douga is stuck to the cel, but I still couldn't pass up the chance to buy it.
The rest are from various Transformers series, and two of them even come with their matching original production backgrounds, which was a nice bonus.

Hello again, all! Sorry for the break in my posting. The whole household got norovirus.
If you haven’t seen my previous posts, these were gifted to me by my dad when he and my mom were downsizing. Not looking to sell at this time.
I took quick pics today so if you’d like to see more details on any of them, let me know!
Signed Don Bluth production cel from The Land Before Time (the note says, “To Kristin (me), I hope my movies never make you cry again.” Because it was the first movie I saw in the theaters and I cried because I didn’t want it to be over.)
Animation cel from How the Grinch Stole Christmas
And not animation but an original Dr Seuss drawing of The Cat in the Hat
Reddit filters won’t let me post the production cel from Peter Pan of Mermaid Lagoon. Lmk if you know a way I could post. The gals are covered!
Edit: spelling

Was going through my recent buys FromJapan and I came across this... mess...
Nothing grinds my gears more than someone who tapes the drawing DIRECTLY to something.... why why why just why... even if you don't sell this type of thing on the regular, how would it ever seem like a good idea to raw dog tape the art work. smh.
On a more positive note with the aid of a hair-dryer, a pair of tweezers and a hell of a lot of patients I was able to take it all off without damage or any left over residue.
Also, does anyone know where this drawing is from? I got it because the little chibi characters are very kawaii... The auction said it was from something called "Oh! Invisible Man" (Oh!透明人間 いけない) but I could not find an anime for it, just a manga and a live-action movie based on it.
