This is the original production cel actually used in an episode of Scooby Doo, signed by animation legend Joe Barbera who sadly passed away recently. This is part of a hand picked collection of fantastic Scooby Artwork, that will only be with us for a very short period of time, so grab it while you can! Because of the time scale in selecting the artwork and getting it from the studio as quickly as possible, a full colour background will be provided with the cel on sale.

The legendary Iwao Takamoto sadly passed away this year. He was responsible for the design and look of the early Scooby Doo series, and actually did the pitch to CBS in 1969! Takamoto was a Japanese-born American animator, television producer, and film director. He was most famous for being a production designer for Hanna-Barbera Productions, and for designing the characters for Hanna-Barbera's most popular show, Scooby-Doo. Other programs he has deisnged for include Josie and the Pussycats, Help! It's the Hair Bear Bunch, SuperFriends, Wacky Races, and The Cattanooga Cats. Later, Takamoto became a producer at Hanna-Barbera, supervising shows such as The Addams Family, Hong Kong Phooey, and Jabberjaw. In 1990, he directed the Jetsons animated feature, Jetsons: The Movie

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.
