This is an actual animation production cel from the 1980s THE SMURFS cartoon TV show, which was created by Peyo, and produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios. A cel is a hand-painted piece of art, printed on a clear sheet of cellulose/celluloid, that was used in the making of an anime / animated cartoon. The full image is painted on a single clear sheet that measures 10.5x12.5 inches. This is an original vintage cel, actually used in the production of the program -- it is NOT a copy or reproduction. The painted scene shows a LEPRECHAUN standing with his hands on his hips. Overall Condition: Solid VG+/EXCELLENT ..... The cel has slight wear on the black outlines, plus the clear celluloid sheet has warped slightly with age -- resulting in some very mild waviness along the edges. However, the colors are still bright, and if matted and framed, the cel will still display beautifully. ********************************************************************* PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT an expert on vintage animation art. I am only vaguely familiar with the terminology and intricacies of animation art collecting. I have tried to describe these cels to the best of my ability, but understand that any terms I use in describing them, are not terms I am experienced with. So please use the attached images to form your own opinions. I am also not knowledgeable on the hobby criteria in condition grading -- so my condition grades are based on a general commonsense manner -- as if grading any collectible -- they are not based on any specific hobby standards. Please contact me if you have specific questions, and I will answer them as best I can. VIEW OUR OTHER AUCTIONS TO SEE MORE VINTAGE ANIMATION ART.
