ORIGINAL ANIMATION PRODUCTION CELS
The most sought after type of animation art. Sometimes
called original production cels (short for celluloids), these are hand-painted and
have generally been used in the making of an animated film or cartoon short. They are filmed
in sequence to create the illusion of motion. Production cels that are not
used in the final production are called model cels and/or preliminary art. Many original
production cels have been either lost of destroyed throughout the years which
serves to enhance its value as collectible art.
This page loads slowly so please be patient. There are hundreds of cels
that are not displayed here but available for sale so please inquire.

BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD
Running from 1993-1997 on MTV, this popular series was created by Mike Judge (who
also created the popular FOX television series, King of the Hill). Their primary
pastimes were raising hell, making dirty jokes, and just laughing.

BETTY BOOP & BEETLE BAILEY
BEETLE BAILEY made his comic-strip debut as a college cutup in 1950 in a mere 50 newspapers.
The feature was soon bought and syndicated by King Features and is noted as the last strip
personally approved by William Randolph Hearst. With America's entry into the Korean war,
cartoonist Mort Walker's star character accidentally enlisted in the Army, and the rest is
comic-strip history! Beetle Bailey went on to become the third most widely distributed comic
strip of all time. His error proved a blessing in disguise, as readers of more than 1,800
newspapers around the world can attest.
Before Marilyn and Madonna, BETTY BOOPed her way into hearts worldwide with her unique
wide-eyed innocence and cartoon sensuality. Debuting in 1930 as a curvaceous canine
cabaret singer in the Max Fleisher short Dizzy Dishes, animation's first leading lady remains
a glamorous international icon today.

DARIA
Daria Morgendorffer is the 16-year-old title character in this MTV animated series.
A Beavis and Butt Head spin-off, Daria is out of place both in her own home (her
younger sister Quinn is a super cute airhead the boys adore; her parents are
stressed-out and clueless) and at her suburban school (where she walks around
looking scornful in lace-up boots and black-rimmed glasses). An introverted and
unusual girl, Daria experiences her misadventures around the town of Lawndale
with her friend Jane.

DILBERT
"Dilbert is a composite of my co-workers over the years. He emerged as the main
character of my doodles. I started using him for business presentations and got
great responses. A co-worker suggested I name the character Dilbert. Dogbert was
created so Dilbert would have someone to talk to. On the advice of a kind
cartoonist I bought a book called "1988 Artist Markets" and followed the instructions
on how to get syndicated. I drew fifty sample strips and mailed copies to the
major cartoon syndicates. United Media called a few weeks later and offered a
contract. I accepted. Dilbert was launched in 1989 after several months of
further developing the strip. That was my first cartooning for profit."

THE FLINTSTONES
Produced by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, The Flintstones burst onto the screen in 1960 as
the first animated situation comedy shown in primetime television and ran for six seasons.
The final episode aired on April 01, 1966 though the series continued to have a strong afterlife
in syndication and has been around in one form or another ever since. Patterned after Jackie
Gleason's The HONEYMOONERS, The Flintstones were designed as a program for the entire family and
did not appear as "children's television" until its rebroadcast by NBC in 1967. Since
that time, the Flintstones have been the subject of three feature films and countless spin-offs
and specials, not to mention years of product endorsement including such sponsors as Alka-Seltzer,
One-A-Day Vitamins, and Post Cereals

GARFIELD
Jim Davis is the creator of Garfield, probably the biggest cat in comics. Born
on a small farm in rural Indiana, Davis' asthma forced him inside and into
drawing. Growing up with more than 25 cats it's no wonder that in 1978 Davis
created Garfield. Initially Davis had a lot of trouble getting his work
published but the overweight, lazy, lasagna-loving cat would soon catapult to
the top. United Features signed him up and when the first Garfield paperback
was published it reached the top of the bestseller lists and stayed there for
100 weeks. Garfield has since appeared in over 2,400 newspapers worldwide,
garnered 4 Emmy awards and starred in a top rated Saturday morning cartoon.
Davis now oversees his own company where animated art, comic strips, TV
specials and a variety of books continue to be developed.

Company and M&M Ltd is born. M&M's popularized the practice of product placement with E.T. The
Extra Terrestrial's fondness for M&M's, and the practice has steamrollered since. In 1981, M&M'S
Chocolate Candies were chosen by the first space shuttle astronauts to be included in their food
supply. M&M'S Chocolate Candies are now on permanent display at the space food exhibit of the
