Classic Animation

Snap Crackle & Pop animation cel

This weekend I wasa lucky enough to purchase a nice group of animation cels, drawings and concept art from Playhouse Pictures. Playhouse closed up their studio in LA a few years ago and it is great to pick up some of the art at the flea market.

    You picked these up at a flea market? I used to work there... the history on the walls alone was incredible.
    Lucky find!

    I wish I could have gone to the auction/sale when they closed. I heard about it a few weeks after it happened.

    Yeah, it was pretty big... bittersweet in a way. It was like stepping back in time working there.

    Were you able to get anything at the sale? From the little of what I have seen, they must have had a treasure trove of old material.
