built for five.

Hand Painted and Hand
Inked limited edition cels
Up until 1961 with the production of 101
Dalmations, cels were hand inked as well as
being hand- painted. However from that year on, Ub Iwerks
and the Xerox Corporation began using a mechanical
technique to transfer the line work from drawings onto
cels, thus bypassing the need for hand- inking.
Yet at
the Ink and Paint Department of Disney a dedicated team
still use the techniques of yesteryear by Hand-inking a
small selection of Limited Edition cels. Some of these
stunning pieces of art can be seen below.
