Irma, "The Cat Woman from Channel Six", Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) animation cel

It may come a day late and a dollar short for "International Cat Day", but here's a great animation cel of Irma from the second season Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Fred Wolf Films) episode "The Cat Woman from Channel Six."

In this scene, Irma is attending to April O'Neil as she begins transforming into a cat woman, suffering delayed effects from Shredder and Krang's matter transporter.

April's animation frames would have been included on separate cel layers and laid over Irma's frames. (I figured it would be appropriate to suggest April had already slipped out of frame since it is a belated "Cat Day" post.)

This is a painted acetate cel layered over background print. In this case, the the supplied background is different than the episode context. 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 outside the original plastic sleeve, providing better image quality. Also attached is a screencap from the VUDU digital copy, showing the approximate cel in its final form at around the 10 minute, 31 second mark.
