Description

Sailor Moon Sailor Moon Production "Bank" Cel with Animation Drawing and Exposure Sheet (Toei Animation, c. 1992-97). This is a very rare "bank" production cel from Sailor Moon featuring the eponymous protagonist. Bank cels such as this were cels created to be used repeatedly during production, rather than just once. Examples of bank cels for Sailor Moon would be the iconic transformation sequences or attack sequences, where the animation was the same across multiple episodes. By saving, or "banking," cels that could be used again later, production could save on animation costs while also maintaining a consistent look across multiple episodes. This cel is a beautiful depiction of Sailor Moon herself, with a large 9.75" x 6.25" painted image size on its 10.5" x 9" cel. The piece is joined by a matching original animation drawing rendered in graphite and color pencil on 12 field animation paper. In addition, this lot includes a rare exposure/timing sheet used during the photography of the cels. Bank cels like this one are exceedingly rare, and highly sought after by collectors. The condition is Good, with minor fading of the black linework, which is fairly common to original production cels from Sailor Moon.
