Dr. Slump – Arale & Akane at the Race – Original Production Cel (Toei Animation, 1981–1986)

An eye-catching hand-painted production cel from Dr. Slump, the beloved comedy anime by Akira Toriyama and Toei Animation. This piece captures Arale Norimaki gleefully enjoying a high-speed race, her trademark grin lighting up the track, while Akane Kimidori, clad in her racing suit, huffs in frustrated determination beside her.

Rendered on clear celluloid with bold outlines and vibrant enamel paints, the cel perfectly conveys the contrasting personalities: Arale’s boundless enthusiasm versus Akane’s fierce competitiveness. It’s a dynamic snapshot of Penguin Village’s most memorable race sequence, showcasing the series’ signature blend of slapstick humor and expressive character animation.

A must-have for Toriyama fans, cel collectors, and anyone who loves the playful spirit of 1980s hand-drawn anime.
