What are these animated works?

The different types of works that you can acquire:

1. Research drawing (“rough”)

The artist's first strokes, often done in blue or black pencil, roughs express the initial energy of a scene or character. They are lively sketches, full of spontaneity.

2.⁠ ⁠Production drawing

More accomplished, this drawing is used directly in the film. Each movement or expression passes through several of these drawings, numbered and placed in the order of the animation. A fragment of the original film.

3.⁠ ⁠Painted celluloid (or “cel”)

A transparent sheet on which the character is hand-painted, frame by frame. These cels were superimposed over painted backgrounds and then photographed to create the animation. These are the icons of the genre.

4.⁠ ⁠Original decor

Painted in gouache or watercolor, the set establishes the visual framework of a scene. It is often combined with a cel to recreate the complete image of a sequence.

5.⁠ ⁠Key master setup

This is the combination of an original cel with its original set, used together in the film. These are the rarest and most sought-after pieces, a true "frame" of the film.
