My Father’s Dragon (1997) – Wild Boar – Original Production Cel + Attached Douga

Wild Boar – Original My Father’s Dragon Production Cel + Attached Douga

Original hand-painted Japanese animation production cel from My Father’s Dragon (エルマーの冒険 / Erumā no Bōken, 1997), the theatrical adaptation of Ruth Stiles Gannett’s classic children’s book.

The piece includes its original matching production drawing (douga), which remains attached to the cel. This is original production-used material from the film, not later reproduction artwork.

Production context: directed by Masami Hata, a veteran of Mushi Production, Sanrio feature animation and Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland; character design by Shūichi Seki; screenplay by Kenji Terada; supervising animation direction by Yutaka Arai; and art direction by Minoru Nishida. The film was produced by Aubec and released theatrically by Shochiku.

The attached douga and age-related production wear are part of the object’s original studio history and should be considered when assessing condition.

Original vintage Japanese theatrical animation artwork from the late cel era.
