This color model cel was created at Disney's world-famous Ink and Paint Department located on the Disney Studio lot in Burbank, and then later distributed by The Animated Animations Company, LLC in New York. Due to the fact that only one or two color models/proofs are typically created for sericels, with one of which is always archived with the publisher, these are very rare parts of labor-intensive process that goes into creating a sericel and amazing pieces of art with a quality and execution that simply was not possible in screen-used production cels!

Simply an amazing piece of animation memorabilia by the late great author who is undoubtedly considered one of the top 10 most important people in the history of Japanese manga and animation, in the same league as Tezuka Osamu, Mizuki Shigeru, Miyazaki Hayao, Nagai Go, Ishinomori Shotaro, Chiba Tetsuya, Tomino Yoshiyuki, and many more... Anno Hideaki, the director of Neon Genesis Evangelion, has even said that "There would be no Evangelion without Yamato." and many enthusiasts as well as critics agree that even George Lucas was heavily influenced by it as well, with the idea of R2D2 from Star Wars being inspired by the Analyzer, as well as many ships and mechanical designs. It is also worth mentioning that the plot line of Battlestar Galactica that is said to have been almost entirely derived from Yamato.
With its astonishing size, gorgeous presentation, and incredible execution as well as vibrant colors, this amazing piece of anime/manga history from a truly important work is sure to be a centerpiece in any collection!

Condition Notes: Both layers stuck
Description: An incredibly rare and precious color proof/character model cel of the Girl and the bag she's holding in the beginning! Very interesting to see how the prominent white hair of the Girl was drawn on an overlay layer even in the model sheet, providing incredible depth and movement in each strand of the white hair. Upon further research, the handwriting of names and color codes seem to be written by the animation director Nakura Yasuhiro, and most likely the original sketches for these proof cels as well!
Used in the production of the epitome of Avant-garde fantasy film created by an iconic anime director Oshii Mamoru, in collaboration with legendary artist and scenic/character designer Amano Yoshitaka.
The film was made a few years before the famous Final Fantasy video game series was released, and the artistic style is definitely reminiscent of the early titles as the Boy looks almost identical to Frioniel, the main character from Final Fantasy II released in 1988. The atmosphere and backgrounds inspired by a French book about architecture owned by Oshii are also very simlar to the Medieval European-theme of the early Final Fantasy games. Oshii Mamoru was initially intending on making this film far more light-hearted with a comedic touch in the beginning stage of the production, where a young girl holding an egg suddenly arrives at a convenience store late at night, with strange people loitering around the area. However, as soon as the young Oshii got a glance of the artwork by Amano Yoshitaka, he immediately knew that "this has to be done as a full-blown fantasy film."
While the result was undoubtedly a masterpiece, it was far too esoteric to be accepted by the general public, subsequently leading to Oshii losing all job prospects for the foreseeable future due to earning a reputation of "a director who makes incomprehensible films," as even Miyazaki Hayao has commented about the film "I will recognize the effort, but nobody will understand it." The recognition took even longer due to the lack of access until the relatively-recent DVD release, but it is safe to say this film is a proof that a masterpiece will sooner or later be properly recognized and appreciated, as long as it isn't hidden and forgotten! Truly the pinnacle of Japanese animation as an art, and a product of the inspiring sacrifice and uncompromising dedication Oshii has put into executing this film in his own vision.

Even better that the original background was just a white screen, so it is practically a key master setup as it is and looks incredible when displayed just with a plain white background!

Condition Notes: -
Description: An incredibly rare and precious color proof/character model cel of the Girl and the bag she's holding in the beginning! Very interesting to see how the prominent white hair of the Girl was drawn on an overlay layer even in the model sheet, providing incredible depth and movement in each strand of the white hair. Upon further research, the handwriting of names and color codes seem to be written by the animation director Nakura Yasuhiro, and most likely the original sketches for these proof cels as well!
Used in the production of the epitome of Avant-garde fantasy film created by an iconic anime director Oshii Mamoru, in collaboration with legendary artist and scenic/character designer Amano Yoshitaka.
The film was made a few years before the famous Final Fantasy video game series was released, and the artistic style is definitely reminiscent of the early titles as the Boy looks almost identical to Frioniel, the main character from Final Fantasy II released in 1988. The atmosphere and backgrounds inspired by a French book about architecture owned by Oshii are also very simlar to the Medieval European-theme of the early Final Fantasy games. Oshii Mamoru was initially intending on making this film far more light-hearted with a comedic touch in the beginning stage of the production, where a young girl holding an egg suddenly arrives at a convenience store late at night, with strange people loitering around the area. However, as soon as the young Oshii got a glance of the artwork by Amano Yoshitaka, he immediately knew that "this has to be done as a full-blown fantasy film."
While the result was undoubtedly a masterpiece, it was far too esoteric to be accepted by the general public, subsequently leading to Oshii losing all job prospects for the foreseeable future due to earning a reputation of "a director who makes incomprehensible films," as even Miyazaki Hayao has commented about the film "I will recognize the effort, but nobody will understand it." The recognition took even longer due to the lack of access until the relatively-recent DVD release, but it is safe to say this film is a proof that a masterpiece will sooner or later be properly recognized and appreciated, as long as it isn't hidden and forgotten! Truly the pinnacle of Japanese animation as an art, and a product of the inspiring sacrifice and uncompromising dedication Oshii has put into executing this film in his own vision.

Description: A very very rare setup of this show with a cel of Daria included, a popular intelligent feminist character who later went on to have her own spinoff show! While all of the layers are not from the same frame, they look absolutely great and natural together, combined with the background that is almost spot-on. A rare chance to own a great Daria cel from Mike Judge-produced show and not the spinoff, which is also practically impossible to find!

Description: An incredibly rare setup of Tom and Jerry with the original background, you can even see the white cloud that is identical in shape as it was on the show on the edge of the background (it has presumably been cut up by the studio to be sold with multiple cels) when Tom was stumbling with an octopus on his head!
Jerry cel is from a few seconds later, when he is advising Tom to run head first into a big rock. It looks great together as seen here, but separating it out so Tom looks 100% like the original cut on the show would be a great idea as well!

This color model cel was created at Disney's world-famous Ink and Paint Department located on the Disney Studio lot in Burbank, and then later distributed by The Animated Animations Company, LLC in New York. Due to the fact that only one or two color models/proofs are typically created for sericels, with one of which is always archived with the publisher, these are very rare parts of labor-intensive process that goes into creating a sericel and amazing pieces of art with a quality and execution that simply was not possible in screen-used production cels!
