The word cell comes from celluloid nitrate. A limited edition cel is a cel created in very limited numbers. The limited cel uses the same hand-painting technique as production cels. There are two types of cels, production and limited edition. The cels main job is to draw and color frames so that the animator can produce a film.
Collectors have an opportunity to own important works.
The limited edition cel gives collectors this opportunity. Overall, animation is used in many things. These include movies, cartoons, and even some television shows. Animation has come a long way and it will continue to do so over the years to come.
