World's Most Expensive Animation Cels.

Alex

Your3DSource has a very neat list of world's most expensive animation cels (short for celluloid). This one is called "The Band Concert" and comes in at no. 1 as the most expensive ever:

"The Band Concert" was released by Disney in 1935, and is noted as the first color Mickey Mouse cartoon. In it, Mickey is trying to lead a concert of the William Tell Overture, amid various distractions such as Donald Duck playing the wrong tune on his flute, a pesky bee, and a violent storm. Despite these disruptions, the band keeps playing! This original cel was sold in a private transaction for a reported $498,000
USD.

i thought avatar sucked. the three dee was cool, but the movie has been done already by disney.....pocohontas.

careful israel. the US invented the "flying bedstead" in the late forties. it relies on fly-by-wire for stability. engine out is an issue, it glides like a brick and cannot autorotate.

It's good to see that not all the research comes from military agression. Why can't all nations be peacefully developing flying cuddle delivery platforms , like Israel.

I'm expecting this new Avrocar will be as big a success as the original. These things work pretty well this close to the ground, but get really unstable once the ground effect is lost.
