April O'Neil, "It Came from Beneath the Sewers," Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) animation cel

From the second season Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Fred Wolf Films) episode "It Came from Beneath the Sewers." In this scene April O'Neil and the Ninja Turtles are attacked by a giant plant monster. Leonardo pulls his weapon and takes the lead in battling the monster while April hangs back hoping not to get caught by the monster's creeping vines.

This is a painted acetate cel layered over background print. In this case, the the supplied background is different than the episode context, making it look like April is in a scientific lab rather than the sewer lair. Also, Leonardo would have been placed on a separate cel layer than April, and he is not included in this package. 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 without the plastic seal, providing a clear image of the art. Also attached is a screencap from the VUDU digital copy, showing the approximate cel in its final form at around the 10 minute, 52 second mark.
