Finished animation cels from The Last Unicorn (1982), dir. Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass

As with many of their films, Rankin-Bass outsourced animation of The Last Unicorn to Topcraft, a Japanese studio behind projects like Maya the Bee and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Compare early Henry's Cat to later (cel) series. Very different texture.
That's just a thought, it could well be cels in later Roobarb. It's a shame Godfrey never bothered to preserve any of the artwork. Once it was shot, he apparently wasn't bothered what happened to the art.

Hand painted cels used as promotional artwork for the second Pokémon movie, "Revelation Lugia" (known as "The Power of One" in the dub).

Started watching Record of Lodoss War, about halfway through now. I'm a sucker for fun character dynamics, good animation, D&D inspired stuff, and pre-2000s anime when everything was hand painted on cels, so I'm really enjoying it.

Also, this dude has intense Gandondorf energy.

My newest pickups, and the first for 2020 are cels from the awesome 1977 film Wizards.
