THE SMURFS 
Hand-Painted, Screen-Used
Original Production Animation Background
(with an overlay cel)
from Hanna Barbera, 1980's

Comes with a Charles Scott Gallery Certificate of Authenticity

The Smurfs are a classic television cartoon show from the 1980's that continue to be popular to this day with movie after movie!  And this is a rare hand-painted production background used on camera to make the show.  Cels are placed over a background and photographed as a single frame that then appear on the TV.  AND backgrounds are much more rare than cels or drawings, as there is only one background for a few hundred cels or more!

Most backgrounds measure approx 10.5" x 14" but can vary larger or smaller horizontally.

Note: purchasing these original items from the making of the cartoons does not convey any rights to the images or characters on the cels/drawings.  They remain with the original copyright holders.
