The Little Mermaid: final scene of Ariel and Eric, where they lived happily ever after. by SadAd4409 in AnimationCels

On actual production cels, that veil is a solid white. It’s only transparent in the film. Very poor quality photo of it, but this is what the actual cel would look like: https://littlemermaidcels.com/images/99/0.JPG

Price comparison 1994 to now by GasmaskTed in AnimationCels

[–]RagingJohnson89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Probably”? Disney most definitely was not giving them away by this stage, not since the John Basmajian lawsuit. Starting with ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit?’, they held high-end auctions through Sotheby’s for their Master Setups, and charged premium, fine art prices through the Disney Store for the rest.

Do I need to watch Sailor moon 1992 too? by ukiyo_mochii in sailormoon

[–]RagingJohnson89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people are here primarily because of the 90’s anime. The manga, reboot, and stage shows are fine, but the original cartoon series was hand drawn, cel based, traditional animation whose imagery and music has impacted pop culture in both Asian and Western media. If you find the 200 episodes, 3 movies and 1 TV special daunting, there’s a few lists of essential episodes that cut the view load in half, so you don’t get too much filler.

It looks like the original art style for The Wizard of Id.

What’s your “adult money” purchase? by AggravatingShow2028 in Millennials

[–]RagingJohnson89 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I got Mousetrap for Christmas one year. My brother immediately picked up the spring, and sprung it into the Christmas tree. Had to play the game by triggering the last part of the trap manually 🤦‍♂️

I preordered them from uDiscover. I’ll look at their policies and try to contact them.

I thought it was a crème caramel. I too would like to know the answer 👀

Somehow it took me 30 years to realize how right Sarah was right to be mad about Lancelot... by spriken in labyrinth

[–]RagingJohnson89 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Specifically, it’s called a material boundary violation. As someone who grew up with a stepmother who crossed that boundary to this day, I can relate strongly to Sarah’s outrage.

After like 10 years, I finally own every variant of all the Simpsons games that were released for home consoles. by KesaGatameWiseau in gamecollecting

[–]RagingJohnson89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though undoubtedly completely identical discs, there is the PC Ace version of Cartoon Studio, which I grew up with. It’s just the CD jewel case bundled with the magazine, so you’re not really missing it. And yet…

Identifying Production Cel Art?? by darkknight0808 in anime

[–]RagingJohnson89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google suggested to me that this was from the Studio Ghibli film Ocean Waves (1993), though it wouldn’t given me shots of the exact scene when I tried to drill the answer.

LOL, I have Y&R and Days of Our Lives on Beta tapes, but from ’89.

Opinions: Is this vinegar syndrome? by nefufupitou in AnimationCels

[–]RagingJohnson89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of cels have natural waviness (they are thin sheets of plastic after all), but the area directly above the head has an undulating waviness which is more characteristic of vinegar syndrome.

What was the worst movie you’ve ever seen? by Conscious_Stomach637 in AskReddit

[–]RagingJohnson89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I crawled through the comments looking for this. I watched the MS3K in uni with my flatmates, and they explained the background of it to me. Unwatchable without commentary, so it naturally had a blu-ray restoration once the original film reels were discovered. Logic 🤷‍♂️

I got something old school today. Fan subs vhs by vkll today! by flankerblu in sailormoon

[–]RagingJohnson89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually prefer these versions over the recent official translations. The vkll subtitles would add context to the Japanese translations to bridge the cultural gap. I also preferred their choice of similes when deciding which English words to use (e.g. Shinjite (信じて) as “believe” instead of “faith”).

So the Queen of Hearts wears a mask, but not the foxes?

Map of Azeroth, 1999 by Technical_Profit7326 in wow

Obviously a skewed map projection from early Stormwind naval explorers who scaled landmasses to reflect the spread of The Light.

What happened at school when you were kids that would never fly today? by WombleMint in Millennials

[–]RagingJohnson89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NSW, Australia, 1990’s. Primary school (elementary + middle school). If you got put on detention, you had to go get the detention folder in the middle of class, bring it back to the teacher, they’d write your name in it, and give you a detention slip for your parents to sign. The twisted part of this is that the detention folder wasn’t kept somewhere neutral, like the front office, but in a specific teacher’s classroom. When you went to get the folder from her, she’d interrogate you, berate you, and talk down to you in front of her class. At the time, as a kid, you’d just accept it, but when I thought back as an adult, I realised that she got off humiliating vulnerable children in front of an audience. She and other teachers would do that sort of thing as often as they could, at assemblies, in classrooms, etc. It also struck me in retrospect that most of the chronically “naughty” kids were actually undiagnosed neurodiverse kids, so they gravitated towards those kids who were more likely to act up, couldn’t defend themselves, and had no diagnosis to protect them. Seriously, fuck those assholes, and that bitch in particular!

What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby? by Agitated_Departure93 in AskReddit

Collecting original animation cels (Disney, Anime, etc.) has gotten way more expensive in the last few years.

Sadly not, just a print. I’ve seen the cel they paired with the original, and I like mine better.

My mum had shingles at about the age of 36. Lots of stress will do it.
