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

Here's another great animation cel of Irma from the second season Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Fred Wolf Films) episode "The Cat Woman from Channel Six."

Similar to the scan I shared last week, this cel is from the scene Irma is attending to April O'Neil as the beleaguered reporter begins transforming into a cat woman, suffering delayed effects from exposure to Shredder and Krang's malfunctioning matter transporter.

April's animation frames would have been included on separate cel layers and laid over Irma's frames. The finished episode zoomed in closely on the frame, which cut out a lot of Irma's frames. These cels provide a much fuller look at her, and I think Irma looks great throughout most of this episode. I've heard claims that the TOEI animation studio handled most of the Season 2 episodes, and this might be a sample of their work.

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, 32 second mark.
