Mr. Limpet and Ladyfish Production Cel & Background

Description

This is an original production cel and background setup from the Warner Bros. Studios production The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964). The hand-painted cel features Ladyfish admiring Limpet's glasses. It was created at the studio and used during production, representing an actual frame of animation that was photographed and appears in the cartoon. The cel is paired with a hand-painted background from the film, which are extremely rare. The overall measurements of the cel and background are 10.5" x 12.5",10.5" x 11.75" respectively, and the image itself measures 6.25" x 7",9.75" x 11.75" on the cel and background respectively. This is an extremely rare piece as this scene utilized a held cel of Limpet's head and glasses, so there is only one cel that exists of this from the film. The setup is in good condition with extensive wear and damage to the white of Limpet eyes and there are pin holes in the background. Professional restoration is available, please ask for more information.
