ROAD RUNNER - LOONEY TUNES
1960's Original Production Animation Cel
AND Hand-Painted, Original Prelim/Alternate 1950's Background
Matted and Ready to Frame, with a Charles Scott Gallery Certificate of Authenticity
The Road Runner debuted with his adversary Wile E. Coyote in 1949's "Fast and Furry-ous". To date, 48 cartoons have been made featuring these characters, including the computer-animated shorts, most of which were directed by Chuck Jones.
This is a RARE setup! We have an original production animation cel of the Road Runner (Xerox front lines, so after the 1950's). But EVEN MORE RARE, is what appears to be a preliminary or alternate background from "Hook, Line and Stinker" from 1958! You can compare it to the screen capture we've included to see the similarities/differences. We've included a picture of the top of the production strip of the background in which someone wrote "Zoom and Bored" on it - potentially spelled incorrectly and incorrectly attributed - unless this prelim was originally meant for that short.
These are both mounted to a gorgeous fabric mat, ready to frame. We've included a picture of the back of the the matting so you can see the production strip of the cel and the back of the background (with all the paint marks!).
The overall matted size is 15" x 18" with an aperture of 9" x 12".
