A rare cel from the Filmation Associates series The Lone Ranger.

This being the Filmation version premiered in 1980 as part of the Tarzan/Lone Ranger Hour with William Conrad providing the voice of the Lone Ranger, although he was billed as William Darnoc (read it backwards). Because violence was pretty much outlawed on Saturday mornings when this show premiered, Filmation writers had to figure out ways for the Lone Ranger to avoid shooting people. In most instances, he shot at inanimate objects which would then somehow slow the crooks down.

The process of Animation is often a collaborative effort. The evidence of this can often be seen in the long credits at the end of most animated shorts and films.

Whilst only the most talented and skilled artisans would be employed by the studios, it is often difficult to attribute the corresponding artist to the exact piece of artwork we offer.

We therefore credit this artwork as being created by a Studio Artist, acknowledging their skill and talent bringing joy to collectors around the world.

You can now get your hands on some magnificent Filmation art. In addition to Filmation art, we also have available Filmation posters as well as Filmation prints. This collection is the only place to look for Filmation gifts.
