	The Last Unicorn A-44 No background

A year and a half after buying the above cel, I saw a background on Yahoo Japan that semi-matched it. I was not particularly interested in the cel it came with, even though it came from an important turning point in the movie. Unfortunately, the seller claimed that the cel and the background were stuck. I decided not to get it since it would do me no good to have those two stuck together. When the seller dropped the price and still no one bid on it, I figured that I might was well go for it. I thought maybe I could get the background professionally removed.

When the cel arrived, it was already torn free from the background. There is a quite a bit of damage. I left the background in the up side down position it came in and put it with my cel. The damaged parts that are not covered by the cel blend in fairly well as ocean spray. Below is a scan of the damaged upside down background with my cel.

Below is a scan with the background turned the correct way. You can see all the damage where the unicorn’s horn was torn free during shipping. I have also included a screen capture of where the background comes from.
