ANIME CELLS

Anime (animation) Cells (celluloid).
Anime is a shortened version of the word "animation" and is used to describe Japanese animated movies and television series. Traditionally these were made from a series of images painted onto transparent celluloid sheets by hand and then photographed frame by frame to produce a moving image. These days hand painted cells are used less and less frequently as digital techniques have simplified the process.

Japanese animation is popular worldwide and easily recognizabe by its unique style. Hand painted cells are prized collectibles and each one is a unique work of art. The price of an Anime Cell can vary from a few dollars up to hundreds of dollars depending on the artist, series, popularity, rarity and just plain "coolness" of the image. They often come with extra pencil sketches of the scene and background paintings too that I like to call "bonus material".
