Okay, maybe it's not the best Animaniacs animation cel ever. But it's definitely one of the prizes of my limited collection. The cel comes from the unedited version of "King Yakko." While Yakko, as ruler of Anvilania, cuddled up to Prime Minister Hello Nurse throughout this half hour episode, the close encounter pictured in this particular cel set-up did not make it into the final broadcast version of the show.
Thanks to Dave Marshall, who co-directed the episode with Alfred Gimeno, for not only saving this cell from the retake dustbin, but for framing it and sending it to me. It hangs in a prominent location on my office wall. Let the anvils ring!
