I went to my local art museum to see some animation exhibit that had one day to go before leaving. Just happened to check the museum's site and see it was here, didn't see advertising or anything.
Good lord. I was blown away; cells, pencil animation drawings, storyboard art, concept art, design sheets, stop-motion props, Tex Avery's desk?! Stuff from classic Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Fantastia, Snow White, The Simpsons, Hanna-Barbera, Ralph Bakshi, Richard Williams, Heavy Metal - actual cells from Akira and Princess Mononoke! An actual piece of Gertie the Dinosaur hand drawn by Winsor McKay!
The King Kong and Ymir weren't original. Kong was a replica of the existing armature and the Ymir was a sculpture made using the original mold. Still, because I am who I am they were favorites.
I took pictures!
