This is a heavy-profile piece of British television history: an authentic, original production animation sequence from the beloved classic cartoon series *Count Duckula*.
This rare lot contains a comprehensive, consecutive run of production materials from Production 35, Scene 76, processed by Alfonso Productions. It features the expressive and highly comedic character Don Diego from the show’s famous Spanish adventure storylines.
Unlike isolated, standalone cels, this listing consists of an intact progressive movement sequence showing Don Diego shifting from a theatrical, open-armed shout to a panicked chest-clutching expression. The collection functions just like a traditional studio flipbook!
What is included in this premium listing:
• Progressive Animator Layout Drawings: A substantial run of original paper animation layers featuring highly detailed pencil drawings mapping out consecutive frames of movement. Explicitly marked with chronological scene sequence trackers (ranging from A-25, A-32, A-33, A-34, to A-40).
• Matching Hand-Painted Production Cels: Multiple beautifully preserved, vibrant clear acetate layers capturing the full-colour character details (white and blue tunic, gold trim) matched directly to the underlying frame layouts.
Dimensions:
Standard vintage production-sized animation sheets/cels.
Condition:
In remarkable, studio-preserved vintage condition. The original pencil layout strokes are crisp, clear, and perfectly dark. The opaque paint on the acetate sheets remains exceptionally flat, bright, and completely intact with no signs of flaking, cracking, or lifting.
