Rascal the Raccoon – Original Animation Cel – Nippon Animation

Description:
Beautiful original animation cel from the celebrated Japanese series Rascal the Raccoon (Araiguma Rascal / あらいぐまラスカル).

The cel depicts Rascal in a particularly charming and representative scene.

The lot includes:
1 - Original hand-painted animation cel, used in the production of the anime.
2 - Dōga: production drawing with color/color model notes (slightly damaged but clearly legible)
3 - Color background, included solely for display purposes and not original to the production (copy/reproduction).

The background complements the scene very well, placing Sterling and Rascal in a bright countryside setting.

The cel shows the usual signs of age and use associated with the production and storage of vintage animation materials. Please examine the photographs carefully to assess its condition.
