Help us identify anime cels from our collection!

Anime fans, now’s your time to shine! Within our International Museum of Cartoon Art Collection, we have a number of unidentified cels and animation drawings from what we believe to be Japanese animation from the 1990s.

We are turning to the expert fans out there to help us identify title, character names, date, and creators for the pieces below. It is likely that many are from the same show or film. We have grouped some together where we believe that may be the case, but would love know the names of each character shown.

If you are able to identify any of the above information for us on the pieces below, please leave a comment and indicate which piece by the number indicated in the caption.

Arigato!

Update: anime Twitter to the rescue! Below we have updated the images that have been identified so far. Some still need information including dates, creators, etc. We are amazed by the outpouring of help!

1 Identified as Noboru Yoshikawa from Great Teacher Onizuka

BICLM Zoom Background Series: Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo in Slumberland

We could all use a break from reality these days, but so many of us find ourselves attached to the computer for virtual meetings. Why not bring a little escapism into your day with the help of Winsor McCay? The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum will be releasing a series of virtual backgrounds for Zoom, and up first is the early master of fantasy who brought us Little Nemo in Slumberland (1905). Few cartoonists in the past century have matched McCay’s ability to create luscious, immersive worlds, brought to life in full color on massive Sunday newspaper pages at the turn of the century.

It’s our hope that these Zoom backgrounds bring a little dreamland to your waking days!
