Collector's Note on Original Production Drawings
Original production drawings offer an intimate look into the artistry of traditional animation. Before a cel was ever painted, each expression was carefully crafted in graphite, frame by frame. Character drawings showcase the nuanced facial acting that made Ralph Bakshi's adaptation so emotionally compelling. Each drawing is a unique, one-of-a-kind artifact from the creation of the film.
Unlike painted cels, production drawings expose the artist's original pencil work—the first stage where emotion, timing, and personality were created. They are the foundation upon which every animated performance was built, preserving the animator's hand exactly as it appeared during production.
Only after these drawings were approved by Bakshi, did they then go to the Ink and Paint department. There they are traced carefully in black ink and then to the paint department where, layer by layer, the cel is carefully painted. Then on to the camera department.

The idea that every expression began as carefully crafted graphite work makes these production drawings incredibly special, especially because they preserve the animator’s original hand so directly. For a completely different kind of excitement, Slope Game is incredibly fun with responsive controls, increasing speed, and challenging obstacles.
