THE LAND BEFORE TIME (1988) - Littlefoot and Mother Original Production Animation Cel Setup - An original production cel setup used in the making of The Land Before Time, featuring Littlefoot cradled tenderly in his mother's mouth - one of the most emotionally powerful moments from this beloved animated classic.This animated feature was a landmark project that saw master filmmaker Steven Spielberg and producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall lend their creative powers to the animation genre through Universal Pictures.As one of the defining projects of Amblimation, the film blended Don Bluth's expressive, richly animated style with Spielberg's instinct for heartfelt, cinematic storytelling, setting a new benchmark for animated family films in the 1980s.Apart from the endearing character interaction, the facial expressions make this cel particularly attractive; all three characters' eyes are open, a subtle yet powerful nuance in the 24 frames-per-second world of hand-drawn animation. Daddy Topps and a young Cera also appear at the left-hand edge, adding depth and scale to the scene. The cel is labelled "LB 882, 002, 34, 143" along the bottom edge.This carefully selected setup is paired with a matching litho background and features the official studio seal from the MCA Universal/Amblin art programme. The lot is accompanied by an Amblin Entertainment certificate of authenticity. Dimensions: 34.5 cm x 43.25 cm (13.5" x 17")Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: Ω
SIMPSONS, THE (TV SERIES, 1989-PRESENT) - Pair of Homer and Bart Mid-Chase Original Production Cels - A highly collectable pair of original production cel setups from the episode "Homer Alone" (Season 3, Episode 15), brilliantly spoofing the classic Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote title gags from Warner Bros. animation.Pieces of this calibre, featuring Homer and Bart in iconic poses, paired in a single sequence, and layered with such referential cleverness, would have been snapped up instantly when released through the studio's original art programme. Today, they remain a standout acquisition for any serious collector of The Simpsons, the longest-running animation series in history.Presented with faux-scientific nameplates: "Homer (Homo Neanderthal'us)" and "Bart (Brat'us Don'thaveacow'us)", the two-setup scene captures the duo mid-chase through the house in wildly expressive, full-figure poses. It's a moment of pure Simpsons mischief, framed with visual wit and pop culture homage.Both setups feature original hand-painted cels from the era when The Simpsons were still produced using traditional animation methods (Seasons 1-13) before the switch to digital colouring and production. Each setup bears the official 20th Century Fox seal and comes in a blue-coloured mount. The lot is accompanied by two 20th Century Fox Studio Art certificates of authenticity. Dimensions (each mounted): 35.5 cm x 43.25 cm (14" x 17")Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M
PINK FLOYD: THE WALL (1982) - The Judge Original Production Cel and Matching Drawing - An original hand-painted production cel and matching production drawing of The Judge, used in the making of Alan Parker's Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982) with animation designed and directed by British satirical illustrator and artist Gerald Scarfe.This grotesque and imposing creation - a towering figure formed entirely of buttocks, with a grimacing mouth at its centre - is one of Scarfe's most infamous and unforgettable designs. As the embodiment of judicial power in Pink's nightmarish internal trial, the Judge delivers the final command to "Tear down the wall" and vomits a montage of clips from the movie.The cel, hand-painted on acetate and placed over a printed background, bears the official seal from Pink Floyd: The Wall's Animation Art Programme. Paired with its matching production drawing, this piece encapsulates the humour, horror, and surreal edge that defines Scarfe's vision. The drawing displays some marks, notably near the bottom edge. Dimensions: 32 x 42 cm (12.5" x 16")Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M
PINK FLOYD: THE WALL (1982) - Prosecuting Counsel Original Production Cel and Matching Drawing - An original production cel and accompanying drawing of the Prosecuting Counsel from Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982), directed by Alan Parker, with animation designed and directed by British satirical illustrator and artist, Gerald Scarfe.This moment appears during the animated trial sequence, as the Counsel leaps onto the stage and takes a bow. Scarfe, who had worked with Pink Floyd since 1974, was given full creative control over the film's 11 minutes of animation, and this character reflects his distinctive visual language: sharp and elongated forms.The drawing, in graphite and blue pencil on 16-field animation paper, is numbered "35" and carries the official Pink Floyd: The Wall Animation Art Programme seal. The matching hand-painted cel corresponds precisely to the drawing (also denoted "35").Together, they offer a complete and authentic example of Scarfe's animation process, from line to paint, and a striking, energetic and iconic image from one of the film's most recognisable sequences. Dimensions: 32 x 42 cm (12.5" x 16.5")Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M
PINOCCHIO (1940) - Framed Limited Edition "Anytime You Need Me" Animation Cel - This hand-painted limited edition cel, released by Walt Disney Art Classics in 1996, captures the heartfelt moment where Jiminy Cricket offers guidance to Pinocchio, encapsulating the enduring theme: “Always let your conscience be your guide.â€Created using traditional techniques, Disney artists hand-inked lines onto acetate cels over original animation drawings (for example, note the different-coloured ink lines for Pinocchio’s nose, hair, and the rendering on his feather) and then hand-painted the artwork using 30 Disney-approved acrylic colours. The background was lovingly reproduced by a Disney artist, drawing from original paintings, sketches, and frames to ensure authenticity.Hand-painted limited editions like this hold a significant place in the animation art market. They provide collectors and fans with beautifully rendered pieces from beloved films, exactly how they were originally enjoyed. Original production cels and backgrounds were lost, archived, or command exceptionally high values when they surface. Released through Disney’s Collector’s Art Programme and sold via theme parks, Disney Stores, and authorised galleries, these editions were crafted with meticulous attention to detail, often utilising archived notes and artwork to ensure authenticity.Limited to just 350 pieces, this artwork is numbered “140/350†and bears a Walt Disney Company seal in the lower right corner. Many editions, including this one, sold out upon release due to high anticipation and remain highly sought after by collectors today. It is mounted within an original Disney frame with plexiglass and features a hanging wire on the reverse. The lot is accompanied by a The Walt Disney Company certificate of authenticity. Dimensions (framed): 25.25" x 23.25" x 1.25" (64 x 59 x 3 cm)Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M
SIMPSONS, THE (TV SERIES, 1989-PRESENT) - Bart Cornered By Santa's Little Helper Original Production Cel and Production Background Signed by Nancy Cartwright - An original production cel setup featuring Bart Simpson and Santa's Little Helper from the episode "Dog of Death" (Season 3, Episode 19).In this fan-favourite episode, Santa's Little Helper falls ill and needs expensive surgery. After a series of sacrifices to fund the operation, including giving up beer, meat, and cable TV, the family becomes resentful. Santa's Little Helper runs away, eventually being adopted and trained by Mr. Burns as one of his vicious hounds.In this climactic moment depicted in this artwork, the now-feral Santa's Little Helper corners Bart until he hears, "I love you boy!" and a flood of loving memories restores the dog's true nature and turns on Mr Burn's Hounds. It's a brilliant balance of satire and sincerity, showcasing the emotional core that made this era of The Simpsons so revered.This is a key setup, comprising hand-painted production cels and the original hand-painted background, but created on celluloid, not paper, as was standard practice during The Simpsons' golden era (Seasons 1-13). The background is rich with that bold, vibrant colour palette unique to The Simpsons. It is also signed by Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, who has inscribed it with "Feet don't fail me now!"This production setup was never part of the official art programme, making its appearance here all the more exciting. However, it was released through the studio and carries the original 20th Century Fox seal. Dimensions: 27 cm x 32 cm (10.5" x 12.5")Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M
ALADDIN (TV SERIES, 1994-1995) - Abu and Iago Original Production Cel, Background and Matching Drawings - An original multi-layer production cel on a key hand-painted production background and matching production drawings featuring Abu and Iago from Walt Disney's television series Aladdin.While the 1992 Aladdin feature film utilised CAPS, Disney's Computer Animation Production System, to digitally colour its animation, the TV series retained the traditional method: hand-drawn pencil animation, followed by inking and painting on acetate cels. This setup showcases that process fully, with visible colour line inking on the cel surface and carefully painted detail on the reverse.Multi-cel arrangements like this allowed for depth and motion to be created economically and efficiently; in this case, the overlapping character elements and coins could be animated independently without redrawing the full composition.Comprised of five hand-painted cel layers placed over an original key hand-painted production background, this setup is a rare survival from the era. It presents a lively, screen-used moment featuring two of Disney's most expressive supporting characters, Abu and Iago.Completing the lot are five drawings that match the production, scene, and frame numbers. Some of the drawings feature studio annotations, including colour callouts. The five cels and drawings bear the original Walt Disney Television Animation seals, verifying their route to market through the studio's official art programme. The lot is accompanied by a The Walt Disney Company certificate of authenticity. There are small patches of paint wear on the background and some minor marks on the cels. Dimensions (multi-layer cel): 27 cm x 32 cm (10.5" x 12.5")Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M
PINK FLOYD: THE WALL (1982) - Original Framed Teacher Marionette Production Cel and Pencil Drawing Display - An original production cel and matching production drawing of The Teacher, one of the most infamous and enduring figures from Pink Floyd’s The Wall. Suspended like a marionette, this moment captures the very essence of what The Wall set out to do: visualise control, repression, and the psychological unravelling of its protagonist, Pink.Though The Wall was released as a feature film in 1982, this specific sequence, the Teacher as puppet, had already burned itself into public consciousness years earlier through the official music video for “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2â€. The sight of the Teacher strung up like a grotesque marionette became one of the defining visuals of the band’s critique of authoritarian schooling, institutional power, and the loss of innocence. This image is instantly recognisable even for those who never sat through the whole film.In the film, the Teacher is no longer a person, but a tool, a cog, a puppet used to beat down the next generation. The fact that this visual found its way from a concept album to a feature film and into pop culture consciousness is a testament to its power.The original drawing and production cel carry the official seal of the Pink Floyd – The Wall art programme, set up to offer artefacts from one of the boldest, most iconic animated films in music history. These icons are now increasingly rare and increasingly meaningful. A certificate of authenticity featuring the printed signatures of Scarfe and Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters are stuck to the back of the display. The frame exhibits some light wear. Dimensions (framed): 44.25 cm x 89.75 cm x 1.5 cm (17.5" x 35.25" x 0.5")Sold without copyright; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: M

pastel on paper, signed mounted, framed and under glass image size 62cm x 50cm, overall size 89cm x 77cm Note: ?I am an award-winning artist with more than 40 years of professional experience and I specialize in the study of the human figure and portraiture, although I sometimes work within the field of still-life and abstract composition. I live and work in Dundee where I am a part-time lecturer at Dundee College. I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, University of Dundee in 1979 and since that time I have executed more than 180 commissioned portraits and have exhibited widely in galleries throughout the UK, including the National Portrait Gallery, the Mall galleries, and the County Hall Gallery in London, the Royal Glasgow institute and the Royal Scottish Academy". Maggie Milne's life studies suggest movement and mood by merging anatomical precision with abstract shapes. This is true especially of her more recent life studies which move more toward geometrical abstraction. She was the winner of the BBC television programme ?Star Portraits?, with her portrait of Meera Syal, the actress, comedienne and writer.
