Original Production Animation Cel – Hand-Painted, Framed
Offered here is an original hand-painted animation production cel depicting a lion character partially trapped beneath a large rock, rendered in classic American television animation style. The expressive facial features, bold line work, and flat color palette are consistent with late 1960s to early 1980s studio animation techniques used for episodic television productions.
The cel includes visible studio production markings and handwritten sequence/frame notations along the lower margin, confirming its use in an animated production. The dynamic pose and action-oriented composition suggest this cel was part of a dramatic or peril-driven scene, common in adventure and fantasy animation of the era.
