70's Super Sugar Crisp Commercial Animation Cel
Received an amazing gift this week: a vintage 70's Super Sugar Crisp cereal animation cel, featuring not only my favorite breakfast food mascot ever (Sugar Bear), but also a rad robot! This 4 layer combo of hand painted awesomeness is from a commercial that I have unfortunately not been able to find on youtube-- if someone else knows another place to search for it online, please let me know! I've photographed all 4 levels of it assembled in order below, because it's a little larger than my scanner. Condition is a bit rough in places because of its age, typically, but man it's such an incredible piece, and I love all the stuff on the table-- especially the cereal box! Super sugar thanks again to my equally cereal obsessed partner in crime for the extra sweetness this week! 💖
It's just glorious man. As someone who also really loves cartoons and indulges an (nitty-bitty) original cell collection, I can say, with zero doubt in my mind, that I would have bought that up in a hot second if I'd seen it for sale somewhere. Sadly, my last decent vendor dried-up with the Atlanta Fantasy Fair back in the nineties. I know the internet has made collectibles much easier to find than ever before; but at the same time, it's hard to browse the internet for objects I am ignorant of. I would never have imagined that this commercial animation survived in physical form. I'm delighted.
