MOTU animation cels

[Busta Toons]

Thanks mate! ...they cost me a hell lot of money! ...but i love them

Trust me, I feel your pain when it comes to spending money on He-Man and She-Ra animation art...

I can say for a FACT that the bottom has now completely dropped out the market...

Back in the late mid-to-late nineties animation cels were SO hard to come by - I once parted with about $275 just for a random cel of Whiplash walking...simply walking... - The same cel now you could pick up for about $10 - Ouch!

I was fortunate enough to visit the warehouse in Los Angeles where all the Filmation cels were stored in 2001 and 2005, and from those two visits I managed to pick up all the cels I wanted!

i used to go there on a weekly basis , i know you have seen some of my collection at BCI

[neogoehunter]

Wow! ...nobody told me that there is a warehouse with all the great animation stuff from filmnation! ...too bad... so that's the reason why all the good cels are gone!

btw i would like to see a picture of this warehouse from inside ^^, with all the nice cels. I was wondering if any member of this forum is in possession of some cels from the intro, where adam is talking and then transforms into he-man! I searched for a long time for the original background of grayskull where adam transforms into he-man, but no one out there could help me. I would pay 1000+ USD for it...

1st the warehouse got sold with all the cels
2nd the person that owns it is not selling it . i asked if he did he would ask for more the $1000

Man, if I lived in America I would've been in there all the time!

Believe me, some of the storage conditions were AWFUL...I once saw a lovely panning cel from "The Problem With Power" with the foot of a stepladder on it!

I'll see if I can dig out the ol' photos from 2001...

I own a few cels from the introduction sequence - Mainly the title and Adam walking into shot for the first time...

Here's a quick photo I just took...

I've seen this photo before; it's from Mark Sheard's collection - He's a lucky fellow! - However, there IS another Prince Adam sequence of him holding the sword out there - The details on the folder for this sequence indicate that this was re-animated for the 1985 batch of episodes, as I had long suspected!

[AnnnaMot]

I've just started to buy some cels myself and I'm happy about this, even if some might disagree. My intention is not to collect a big collection, but just to buy few pieces of history from the animated series I love. The most wanted/popular cels might be long gone from the market, but like in many things, I tend to like things that might not be so popular among the majority, so it's not a big deal for me.

I don't think anyone is against cels being cheap to purchase - I'm still collecting so I'm VERY happy the price has come down!

...It's just hard to believe what I spent on certain cels back in the nineties...

[neogoehunter]

Very nice! Would you mind showing all the other cels of adam of the introduction?

AnnaMot- that Fright Zone cel is beautiful! Do you have an online gallery of photos of your cels? I'd love to see your collection!

Is the He-Man pan from your collection or the prince adam pan?

OK. Here are some cels from my collection. I love secondary characters so you will find here some villans and heroes from both MOTU and POP episodes.

I like the young Adam cels. They are from the episode "Battle Cat":

Here is my young Adam cels. From the "Battle Cat" episode.

I've uploaded some more model sheets to my album. Added Kuduk Ungol - The Sorceress' predecessor, and also some vehicles.

Wow the first shot of Fright Zone appeared on TSOTS!!!

Given that I've been collecting He-Man and She-Ra cels since 1997, I really should start to post in this thread...
Dude, these are AMAZING finds - I've been collecting cels since 1997 - And while I have a great many key moments in the series, I don't have any from the transformation sequence!

I will do too! I have few but beautiful cels too...
James, do you remember that I told you about that cel of He-Man transformation?! You answered isn't were from the trasnformation sequence but a publicity cel
I know what publicity cel you was meant, that one appeared on UK's vhs covers...he has a different head, I knew...

Amazing light effects.... and very nice shadows on He-Man
Thank you!

One thing to always be on the lookout for is animation cels from DELETED SCENES...

I have quite a few cels that are from scenes left on the cutting room floor - They're easy to spot; you just have to know the series inside out!

I posted these two on my Blog recently...



This second one is not a cel; it is line art from a deleted scene that I colored...but you get the idea...

[EuroCoin]

My first two cels arrived today.
