This is a highly unique piece of British television history: an authentic, original production animation art packet from the beloved classic cartoon series *Count Duckula*.
This exceptional sequence is from Production 35, Scene 66, processed by Alfonso Productions. It features a spectacular, massive, frame-filling extreme close-up of the iconic main character Nanny wide-mouthed in mid-scream.
What makes this specific packet an elite collector's piece is the inclusion of the rare technical camera instructions handwritten in Spanish by the animator: "El interior de la boca se convierte en capa del fantasma. NEGRO TODO" (The interior of the mouth becomes the ghost's cape. ALL BLACK). This reveals the exact mechanical camera transition trick used to morph Nanny's scream directly into a spooky sequence!
What is included in this listing:
• Main Production Acetate Cel: A massive, beautifully hand-painted transparent acetate layer showing a striking close-up profile of Nanny screaming. Stamped with production identifiers (35/66).
• Technical Production Layout & SFX Guide Sheets: Multiple original paper animation layers mapping out the precise pencil contours of Nanny's expression, framing red registration corners, camera field markers, and the handwritten Spanish special effects cues.
Dimensions:
Standard vintage production-sized animation sheets/cels.
Condition:
In excellent, studio-preserved vintage condition. The original animator pencil strokes are clean and dark. The paint work on the acetate remains incredibly flat, perfectly opaque, and vibrant with absolutely no sign of flaking or lifting.
