This listing is for an original production cel of Jessica Rabbit from (1988) Who Framed Roger Rabbit. This cel is in very good-condition and was acquired directly from the private collection of one of the original animators who worked on this movie. This piece was screen-used, I've attached the exact. For those curious, the details such as shadows, high-lights were all done digitally. My pictures do no justice to this piece as it is even more stunning in person.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 American live-action/animated fantasy-comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis, produced by Frank Marshall and Robert Watts, and written by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Loosely based on the 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit? Wolf, the film stars Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Charles Fleischer, Stubby Kaye and Joanna Cassidy. Set in a 1947 version of Hollywood where cartoon characters and people coexist, the film follows Eddie Valiant, a private investigator who must exonerate Roger Rabbit, a "Toon" i.Cartoon character who is accused of murdering a wealthy businessman. Price and Seaman wrote two drafts of the script before Disney brought in executive producer Steven Spielberg and his production company, Amblin Entertainment. Zemeckis was brought on to direct the film while Canadian animator Richard Williams was hired to supervise the animation sequences. Production was moved from Los Angeles to Elstree Studios in England to accommodate Williams and his group of animators.
While filming, the production budget began to rapidly expand and the shooting schedule ran longer than expected. The film was released through Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner on June 22, 1988. It received acclaim from critics, who praised its visuals, humor, writing and performances.
It brought a renewed interest in the Golden Age of American animation, spearheading modern American animation and the Disney Renaissance. It won three Academy Awards for Best Film Editing, Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Visual Effects and received a Special Achievement Academy Award for its animation direction by Williams.In 2016, it was selected for the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
