Published: July 25, 2007
Art has many different forms, some more popular than others, but one form of art that is enjoyable for people of all ages is animation. Animation art is basically art expressed through animated images, like cartoons. Many things can be labeled animation art such as still images from popular animated movies to portraits of animated characters from comic books or television shows.
No matter what form it takes, animation art is for everyone and not just art collectors looking to add more pieces to their galleries.
When people think animation, one of the first names that probably come to mind is Walt Disney. What people may not know is that the name Walt Disney also ties in quite frequently with animation art. Disney animation art is one of the recognizable forms of animation in the word. The name Walt Disney stands behind countless different movies and television shows, as well as some of the most popular animated characters of all time.
Examples of Disney animation art that would be sure to spark a bidding war would include a hand-painted portrait of the first Mickey Mouse character or a painting of the infamous marching brooms scene from "Fantasia." Even though Walt Disney isn't the only name on the roster when it comes to animation, it's the scenes or characters from the classic Walt Disney movies that makes Disney animation art among the most popular.
Speaking of classic Walt Disney movies, anyone remember "Sleeping Beauty?" "Sleeping Beauty" is still to this day one of those movies that just about everyone has seen at least a few times. Walt Disney himself said that the movie was one of the most inspirational triumphs of good over evil that he had ever known. Those words alone are enough reason to take a look at all of the animation art available from "Sleeping Beauty," like the famous battle between the Maleficent Dragon and Prince Philip. There are 112 paintings of the battle available, each one hand drawn and painted by a member of the Walt Disney Studios Ink and Paint Department. One battle scene painting costs $2675 ,and that doesn't even include the frame! The high demand for animated prints from "Sleeping Beauty," which was made in 1959, clearly demonstrates that Disney movies are considered classics for a reason.
Animation art prints can be found at websites like AnimationArt.com or animationartgallery.com, but the good stuff doesn't come cheap. An authentic drawing from a popular episode of “Family Guy” or “Sponge Bob Square Pants” could cost somewhere between $200 and $500. Some of the "Simpson's" classic animation art prints go for around $2000. If that seems a little bit on the steep side, one could buy cheaper prints for under $200. Unfortunately the cheaper prints are only production drawings, which means they are only the initial sketch and don't include any of the bright colors that we see when the pieces come to life on the screen.
Regardless of what movie or cartoon it represents, animation art can be understood and enjoyed by just about anyone. The real beauty of animation art is right before one's eyes, unlike other art pieces where a person has to stare at it and strain their mind to understand what the message is behind the piece. Animation art is just there, so don't think about it, just look and enjoy it.
