I Got It At Goodwill

Production cel from The Thief And The Cobbler
I bought this production cel from the legendary animated film The Thief and the Cobbler by Richard Williams from a Goodwill store in Los Angeles for $8.

lower right corner
It appears that this particular cel is from a sequence where Princess Yum Yum (the character in the image) says, "Oh father."

upper right corner
In the upper right corner there is writing in marker which says, "530/405 Used in 530/161." I'm sure this is the scene number and the number of the cel for it's sequence.
Lower left corner
I'm not sure what these markings say, but they almost look like signatures.
Back view
The back of the mat board and cel shows both the peg holes and the tower with golden balls cut out for the background.

Can anyone tell me if they believe this to be an authentic original?

Le Mer de Pianos: The Oldest Piano Shop In Paris


  On this blog I have written about the oldest letterpress and paper store in Los Angeles, but now I hope to introduce you to the oldest piano repair shop in Paris, France. The film is called Le Mer de Pianos (The Sea of Pianos) by Tom Wrigglesworth and Mathieu Cuvelier.
