Description

Pretty cool matted cel featuring three of the main characters from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles classic cartoon series' two-part episode that originally aired as a prime-time TV special "Planet of the Turtleoids!"

This cel features Shredder most prominently with Rocksteady holding April O'Neil captive in the background. Krang's Android appeared in the original shot, but his cel layer wasn't included in this packaged set. This is likely multiple layers of painted acetate cel layered over a background print. In this case, the the supplied background differs with the original episode context, making it look like the villains are capturing April in some seedy back-alley.

These cels were sold framed in mats and protective plastic sleeves at various toy and department stores throughout the early 1990s under the "Animation Art" label. This cel was scanned inside the sealed plastic sleeve, so the image clarity suffers a bit. Also attached are screencaps from the VUDU digital version, showing the approximate cel in its final form at around the 18 minute, 41 second mark, right around the end of the episode's first part.

Nice one with three characters! It seems like they just mixed and matched what they were given as backgrounds to be part of this package.
