Rare Animated Cels

 

Nothing's been too interesting lately, but I'm glad it's September. I thought let me create a simple post this time and share some cel art, mostly Disney. 

It's inspired from Andrea Deja's Deja View blog. 

The first one. This is really cute, from Dumbo (1941). I'm pretty sure Dumbo himself was easy to ink and paint because he has less amount of colors than Timothy Q Mouse does. I bet the ink and paint team were really careful trying to noticeably point each color layer Timothy matches with like his clothes.

Here's another from the same movie. I bet the animators in general were having alot of fun drawing sets of rubbery and playful movements while the characters were dancing. 

Here's a stellar shot of The Headless Horseman from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949), one of my all-time favorite Disney films, only professionals can pull off expressing the scene from where this took place. Nice colors too.

Something a little more random, but definitely not bizarre as it's different sets of poses not attached to the final product, from Pinocchio. I love the Pleasure Island scenes and I somewhat really like the warm colors of Lampwick here. 

Another classic Disney character, Brer Bear, tied up but enjoying and letting loose. This looks clean, and obviously love the atmosphere.

This is an excellent drawing of Tramp from well, Lady and The Tramp (1955). I like how he chews his bone, and has extraordinary amounts of detail. 

I heard that painting the more realistic characters like Cinderella were extremely difficult to manage, but it all turns out gorgeous and handsome looking. I really admire the layout to this one. I wonder what's happening outside. 

I surprisingly never watched Little Hiawatha, because it's a Silly Symphonies cartoon and it's in Technicolor, so I gotta watch this someday. Anyways, this is cute.

An interesting cel of Donald Duck from the animated short, Clown Of The Jungle (1947). I know this cuz I watched this loads of times also it was drawn by Hal King. My favorite overlooked animators.

Here's a funny cel of Prince Phillip with his horse Samson. I always felt absorbed by how different the animation in Sleeping Beauty looked. Couldn't tell if it was using the same techniques as previous old Disney films or something. 

Finally for the Disney cels is from The Ugly Duckling (1939), the lily pads are extremely pleasant and gorgeous, and I like the simplicity. Very appealing. 

BONUS 💥

Here is some more animated cels but they're from different franchises. Enjoy.

This Ren and Stimpy cel is just too perfect, from one of my favorite episodes of the show. I also love these designs best. They feel more at ease, and detailed.

This cel brings me back nostalgia. Rock Bottom used to be one of my all-time favorite episodes when I was a kid. The atmosphere, the concept is just impeccable and what made Spongebob just a great show. I talked about Season 1 of Spongebob already. Feel free to check it out.

Here's a neat cel of Sugar Bear from the Sugar Crisp adverts from the 60s-70s. 

And finally, I just gotta include one from  Looney Tunes. A personal favorite cartoon of mine, Duck Amuck. I love Chuck Jones's design of Daffy Duck the best, and so is his expressions, very good stuff.
