Original Grinch Animation Art Exhibition

Animation Sensations has been an Animation Art Gallery since 1989. We specialize in original one of a kind vintage Disney and Warner Brothers animation artwork from feature films and shorts such as Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Lady and the Tramp, Fantasia, Snow White, Bambi, Dumbo, 101 Dalmations, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, Jungle Book, Little Mermaid, and Robin Hood. We buy, sell, and accept consignment of limited editions, sericels, lithographs, etchings, giclees and TV animation production cels. Although we carry a fairly large selection of animation art from various production studios like Warner Brothers, Hanna Barbera, Fox and Cartoon Network, our expertise is in Disney shorts and original vintage feature film animation art production cels, drawings, storyboards, layout drawings and original production backgrounds. We have a large collection to choose from, and we are always looking to find more original quality animation art for both the serious and casual collector. Animation Sensations' website is not only dedicated to displaying high quality animation art, but providing valuable information on the artwork itself and the studios that produced it. For Artwork Information, look to the botttom of our 'Other Studios' web page - and enjoy!

This August, Animation Sensations acquired close to seventy five original Grinch animation art production cels, layouts, drawings and production backgrounds, much of which have been signed by lead animator and producer, Chuck Jones. All are in excellent condition, preserved with quality archival framing. The half-hour animated film special, Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, first aired on Sunday, December 18, 1966. On that day, it was met with glowing reviews from newspapers across the country, and has since become a classic not only for its imaginative story line, but also for the fantastically imaginative and technically superb drawings of famous artist and animator Chuck Jones.

Animation Sensations is also pleased to announce that it has recently acquired a valuable selection of original vintage Disney and Warner Brothers animation production cels, drawings, layouts and production backgrounds.

Most of our new Warner Brothers drawings and cels are signed by the legendary animation artist Chuck Jones. His signature authenticates these works, and adds significant value to each original drawing and cel. These are delightful one of kind collectors' items that capture the spirit of those early classic Looney Toons cartoons. Among the many in our collection, we would to mention several drawings and cels from What's Opera, Doc?, the 1957 classic short directed by Chuck Jones. In this hilarious parody of Wagner's "Ring" Cycle, Elmer Fudd plays the hunter as the demigod Siegfried, and Bugs Bunny in drag and blond wig plays the role of Valkyrie Brunhilde while sitting atop an obese horse. Also in our posession are a number of works from the 1953 cartoon, Bully for Bugs. In this memorable short, Bugs Bunny, while looking for a carrot festival, tunnels accidentally into the middle of an arena where a bullfight is taking place. Bugs soon becomes involved in the fight after the bulls breath steams up his tail. He declares in response, "Of course, you realize this means war." Mentioned here are just a few from our extensive collection of classic cartoon moments captured in graphite and paint.

Animation Sensations would also like to draw your attention to our new original vintage Disney animation cels and drawings. Among these are the Blue Fairy, Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket and Figaro from the 1941 animation art film, Pinocchio, several cels of the Queen and the Witch from the 1937 animation art film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We also carry a substantial selection of animation art from more modern Disney film classics like Lady and the Tramp (1955), Peter Pan (1953), Sleeping Beauty (1959) and the Little Mermaid (1989). All of our newly acquired Disney cels, production drawings and production backgrounds, are in excellent condition, having been carefully preserved in archival frames. The color and line quality of each piece is such that you will be drawn to remember those unique moments for which that image was created.
