EC Gallery will have 80 original animation cels works of art in their "Vintage Animation Show." The show will feature a gallery of animated original cels that were used to create all the iconic cartoons from Disney to Hannah Barbara through Warner Bros. Because the cels are where it all started, it is a cool off-site Con activation spot. Cel animation was a dominant animation technique, particularly in the 20th century, before the rise of computer animation. Cel art is extremely popular and highly sought after by collectors. All the cels are pretty fun and interesting but one of the cels they will have is from Snow White which is the first animated full-length movie created from cels. It even won an honorary Academy Award (an Oscar) in 1939 for its significance as a pioneering work in animated film. They even made Walt a special Oscar with one full-sized Oscar and seven miniature ones. EC Gallery on Facebook / Instagram
