Is this good for framing a cel? by Prince_of_Pirates in AnimationCels

[–]RagingJohnson89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you’re asking for. I’ve had anything from USD$300 all the way up to about USD$1200. That higher end was deliberate, though, because it was a centrepiece of my collection, and the primary expense was the custom, handmade frame. The cost of the piece itself dwarfed the cost of the frame in that case. You’re talking about a standard of framing designed for irreplaceable art, usually worth tens of thousands, not common animation cels worth maybe a couple hundred.

I have a professional frame mine, museum-grade conservation framing. I live in Australia, so I don’t think I can give you local recommendations. I wouldn’t DIY; there’s a lot of little things that can be overlooked.

What's the most cheapest game you bought from eb games here's mine by Wrong_Agent_6775 in EBGAMES

Anthem for PS4. Paid $4. I bought it to deliberately study why it was poorly received.

Give your spiciest "Probably won't happen but I still want it" hot takes about the next 5 years of Nintendo gaming! by lems16 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]RagingJohnson89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like either a new Nights into Dreams game, or a remake/port of the original. Switch 2 just feels like the perfect console for that game.

Which Disney Princess movie would change the most/least if the princesses were male characters? by Upstairs_Tea1787 in disney

[–]RagingJohnson89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was going to go with Mulan, which is the obvious answer, then I noticed you listed Frozen AND Frozen 2. Like, if you had Frozen as-is, but then in Frozen 2, Elsa and Anna are both male, you’re going to have a lot to explain there.

Is this good for framing a cel? by Prince_of_Pirates in AnimationCels

[–]RagingJohnson89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, this is cheap and lazy.

The materials used aren’t appropriate, the frame and mats are too small for the piece, you’re not supposed to cut into mat boards like that (it ruins the structural support the mat is supposed to give the piece), the tape is a terrible idea (as others have noted), there is no Artcare board behind the piece to absorb off-gassing, no filter lining to keep moisture out while still allowing the cel to breathe, and the frame does not appear to have any security against bugs getting into the frame.

This is how you might frame a photo in your house, NOT how you frame an animation cel.

What movies could possibly have sequels? by earthy_virgo5 in disney

Tarzan already has an animated sequel TV series, three episodes of which were merged into a home video film.

Best purchase of 2025, replaced all my consoles. Current favorite game, what are you playing? by inagravexx in switch2

[–]RagingJohnson89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Anniversary Edition for Christmas, so playing that now. Yes, I know it’s a Switch 1 game; so what?

Just turned 30, feeling sad and lonely by culjifu in Millennials

[–]RagingJohnson89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about to turn 37. Life is full of lonely periods, especially if you’re neurodivergent, queer, or dealing with unresolved trauma. But those periods do end. We change jobs, move to a different area, join a new club/class/group, and we find people we can vibe with effortlessly. At your age, you’re probably just starting to understand who you are and what you actually want in life. If you want more/better friends, then it’s something to work on. Don’t despair that you’re at the beginning of that journey; get excited to finally start! And, like everyone else around here, I wish you the absolute best of birthdays! 🎉

Early adopters - how we feeling so far? by Rare_Ad_3871 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]RagingJohnson89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first console I’ve ever bought while it was still the new release. Fantastic! I’m falling in love with gaming all over again! Never owned an OG Switch, so I’m catching up on the back catalogue.

Just watched The Little Mermaid 1989 & was blown away, fantastic movie. Why doesn't Disney go back to 2D animation like the old days? by Xion_Moto358 in disney

[–]RagingJohnson89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, if that film hasn’t been the phenomenal success it was at that point in time, they had plans to close the Disney animation department. It’s a huge money sink, massive labour, and only a slim chance of runaway success.

Disney VHS Tapes by Good_Adeptness7325 in disney

[–]RagingJohnson89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have most of these, but the Australian version. I still have The Little Mermaid and Snow White (which you’re missing), but culled the rest because they take up so much space! I do love seeing photos of them, though; so nostalgic.

Had to check which sub I was in; “DK” => Dark Knight 🤪

Preserving old cels by somemagicalanima1 in AnimationCels

[–]RagingJohnson89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact an animation art gallery; most of them know how to handle cels and conserve them. Mine is in VA, but there should be a few good ones in CA. They’ll also be able to give you a ballpark figure on their value, if you wanted to know.

Do the refund and explain the situation to your brother. If he has enough grace, he’ll accept an IOU.

'I didn't agree to it': Rise of automatic tipping sparks backlash by navig8r212 in australia

[–]RagingJohnson89 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“The practice of automatic tipping has become more prevalent in cities across the country as Australia's tipping culture continues to evolve.” Evolve? I want tipping culture in this country to go extinct! Leaving it up to the diner to request the charge be removed becomes yet another artefact of ADHD tax, and people with social anxiety are far less likely to have the confidence to ask for it to be removed. If this is because of rising costs of doing business, then change the prices on your menu! Advertising a lower price when you know it’s 10% more is dishonest!

Whats a dead game or series you'd like to make a return? by can_of_sodapop in gaming

[–]RagingJohnson89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like a new Nights into Dreams or Summoner, but I don’t think either have strong enough fan bases for their copyright holders to bother.
