CelsA cel is the plastic sheet that animated characters are painted on.

ORIGINAL PRODUCTION CEL Used in the production of a cartoon Hand-painted at the studio One-of-a-kind pieces of art, very rare

LIMITED EDITION CEL Reproductions or contemporary reinterpretations of the film

or frames they represent Created in limited quantities, generally in runs of 250 to 500

cels Hand-numbered on the cel, many are signed by the artists

SERICELS Each individual color is silk-screened to the cel, one at a time Most affordable type of animation art, ideal for the beginning collector Created in limited quantities, typically 2500 to 5000 pieces

PUBLICITY CEL Not actually used in a film or created for collectors, but made for publicity or promotional purposes. Usually hand-painted

CEL SET-UP A combination of cels presented together If the combination of cels match exactly, it is referred to as a KEY SET-UP.

DrawingsANIMATION DRAWING Original, one-of-a-kind drawings, penciled by the

animator Can be rough, or the more refined CLEAN-UP

drawings Cels will be made from these drawings

STORYBOARD DRAWING A drawing or story sketch made for the storyboard Conveys visually the plot and action of a scene or

shot. Serves as a preliminary guide for the artists.

MODEL SHEETS Drawings, or studio reproductions of a character in a

variety of actions Used as reference by the animators during

production.

BackgroundsOriginal Production Background Original paintings, used in the production of a cartoon. Important note: The background is not necessarily from the

same production that the cel is from. It may not even be from the same studio as the cel.

Key Master Set-Up The ultimate set-up, and the most rare Includes the original cel, or a key set-up of cels, with the

background they were originally photographed over. When framed, this will look exactly as it did in the actual film

or short.

Presentation or Hand-Painted Background Specially prepared to complement the cel by an independent

artist. May enhance the visual appeal of the set-up, but adds little

value or collectibility to the cel

Reproduction Background Most common type of background

A reproduction of the original background.

PrintsLITHOGRAPHS/LITHOGRAPHY Much like a stamp Operates on the principle that oil and water don’t

mix Ink adheres only to the greased areas of the

“stamp” and not the wet area Each color is separately applied.

GICLÉE PRINTS Four precision nozzles spray up to a million microscopic droplets

per second on to fine art paper. Prints are lush and velvety, capturing the subtle nuances of the

original artwork.

PIX-CEL PRINTS A trademarked product developed by Acme and Epson Gives a fully rendered continuous tone 3-D image on clear acetate

over giclee background Taken directly from digital production files

Determining Value

Different cels from the same scene may be more or less desirable depending on a variety of factors:

Popularity of film/show Artist’s reputation Size of cel Character(s) included Profile and expression of the character(s) Any damage to inking or paint Overall visual appeal
