From ebay:Roscoe and Desoto from Oliver and Company
Sold: $200
Really?? Sure a framed Disney production cel is worth something. But I'd be hard-pressed to think of two characters less desirable from any Disney film than Roscoe and Desoto. Is that harsh? Considering you can pick up a cel of Oliver and the entire gang for $200 on ebay, it seems odd to me that this cel would have been snatched up. Am I wrong? (Not rhetorical, tell me if I'm wrong).

Peanuts gang from A Charlie Brown Christmas

While Disney cels are the main focus of this blog, a treasure like this cel cannot be ignored. Recently sold on ebay, this is a great cel from this holiday classic. Similar cels without Snoopy and Linus have sold for between $1400 and $1900.

Sold: $2,800
An amazing cel of classic Mickey in one of his last appearances before his Fantasia makeover. Great Courvoisier set-up. I'm sure a gallery would charge more than this price for the cel, especially because it appears to be in good shape and Mickey has a cute pose.

Jiminy Crickey in Pinocchio
Sold: $999.00
Jiminy gets ready to knock some sense into the boys in Pleasure Island. A great scene from this animated masterpiece. There is some paint missing from Jiminy's foot. Interestingly, once the reserve was met, the bidding stopped.

On Roscoe and Desoto... I own two cels of these guys, and to be honest... though HORRIBLE characters from this film, the cel setups are very nice in person. I was a little surprised to see that one reach $200. One of mine has both characters with a background, and I paid $100 for it on eBay about 5 years ago.
However, these guys seem pretty popular because cels of them are hard to find and because, well.. they are Disney villains! Everybody seems to love 'em.
Wickedone - thanks for the feedback. $200 just seemed high for these character. Especially because on ebay, you can get almost the entire cast from Oliver and Company. Perhaps a future post will focus on why Great Mouse Detective and Oliver and Company cels are so affordable. Hope you like the site. Brian
Oh, I very much agree with you about the final price of this cel. I felt it was a bit much as well.
I have to admit, I am a huge fan of Oliver & Company, so I have a large amount of cels from this film. The low prices make it easy for me to find the art I want, but at the same time, I hate to see cels from this film go so low.
I do collect art from older Disney films as well. But Oliver & Co has a special place in my heart, since it was one of the first Disney films I saw as a child.
I am interested in your thoughts about Oliver & Co, The Great Mouse Detective and so on. So I do hope you make a post about it!
And yes, I am enjoying your site! Thank you! :)
