For anyone who grew up mesmerized by the hand-drawn worlds of Bugs Bunny, Scooby-Doo, and the Flintstones — animation isn’t just entertainment, it’s art. At Wonder Bound Art and Collectibles, we celebrate that legacy. We specialise in vintage animation cels, authentic animation cels for sale, and a handpicked selection of animation art for sale that transports collectors straight back to the golden age of cartoons.
But our passion doesn’t stop at animation. Our carefully curated collection includes PSA-graded Pokémon cards, rare sports and non-sports trading cards, CGC-graded comics from the Silver, Gold, and Copper Ages, and nostalgic treasures like Sesame Street plush toys and collectible bean bags.
Wonder Bound isn’t just a store — it’s a time capsule for fans, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship behind classic pop culture.
The Magic of Vintage Animation Cels
Before computers took over animation, every frame you saw in a cartoon was painstakingly painted by hand on transparent sheets known as animation cels. These cels were layered over painted backgrounds, photographed one by one, and transformed into the animated masterpieces we still love today.
That’s what makes vintage cels so special — they’re not replicas or prints, but original production artwork that played a direct role in creating iconic scenes from studios like Warner Bros., Hanna-Barbera, and Disney.
Owning one is like owning a single frame of your childhood — an authentic, tangible piece of animation history.
At Wonder Bound Art, we source and authenticate every cel, ensuring that collectors receive museum-quality pieces complete with certificates of authenticity, archival-safe packaging, and background information where available.
Animation Cels for Sale – From Looney Tunes to Hanna-Barbera Classics
Our gallery of animation cels for sale includes production cels from some of the most beloved series ever created:
- Looney Tunes – Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Sylvester, Wile E. Coyote, and the Road Runner — all immortalised through hand-painted art that captures their mischievous spirit.
- Hanna-Barbera – From The Flintstones and The Jetsons to Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, and Huckleberry Hound, we offer rare cels that embody the golden age of Saturday morning television.
- Disney and beyond – Occasionally, our collection expands to include select cels and limited-edition sericels from Disney, Don Bluth Studios, and other legendary animators.
Every piece tells a story — not just of the character it features, but of the animators, colorists, and storytellers who brought it to life.
Animation Art for Sale – Collecting Beyond the Frame
While animation cels remain the cornerstone of our collection, Wonder Bound Art also showcases a wide variety of animation art for sale — including background paintings, storyboards, and limited-edition lithographs.
For collectors looking to diversify their displays, these pieces offer an incredible glimpse behind the scenes of traditional animation. Many include original pencil notations, color references, or production numbers — details that bridge the gap between art and process.
Our rotating catalogue ensures that each visit to wbart.com reveals something new — from iconic TV moments to forgotten gems of mid-century animation.
The Collector’s Corner – Beyond Animation
Wonder Bound isn’t limited to animation fans. We cater to the full spectrum of collectors with an eye for nostalgia, craftsmanship, and cultural value.
PSA-Graded Pokémon and Trading Cards
For the serious card collector, we stock a range of PSA-graded Pokémon cards, including first editions, holographics, and modern rarities. Each card is authenticated and graded to ensure both quality and investment value.
Our collection also includes vintage non-sports cards — think Star Wars, Garbage Pail Kids, and pop-culture series from the 1980s and 1990s — alongside timeless sports cards from the likes of Topps, Upper Deck, and Fleer.
CGC-Graded Comic Books
Comic lovers will appreciate our catalogue of CGC-graded comics from the Silver, Gold, and Copper Ages. From early issues of Spider-Man and Batman to classic runs of X-Men and Fantastic Four, these professionally graded comics offer both aesthetic and investment appeal.
Each comic is stored and shipped with the utmost care, maintaining its condition and value for years to come.
Plush Characters and Collectible Toys
Rounding out our collection is a charming selection of Sesame Street plush characters, cartoon bean bags, and other vintage memorabilia. These items might not hang in a gallery, but for many collectors, they hold just as much sentimental worth.
Why Collect Animation Art?
Animation art is a fascinating intersection of pop culture and fine art. Unlike mass-produced prints, production cels are one-of-a-kind artifacts that were physically used in the creation of the films and shows we remember so fondly.
They represent an era when every detail — every brushstroke and movement — was drawn, painted, and tested by hand.
For collectors, owning a cel isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s about preserving the artistry of a medium that revolutionized visual storytelling. And with traditional hand-drawn animation becoming increasingly rare, the value of authentic vintage pieces continues to rise.
At Wonder Bound Art, we take great pride in helping both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers find pieces that speak to them — whether for emotional resonance, aesthetic beauty, or long-term investment.
How We Authenticate and Protect Your Art
Every item at Wonder Bound is sourced with care, verified for authenticity, and handled using archival preservation methods.
Our commitment includes:
- Certificates of Authenticity (COAs) with every original production cel.
- Archival-grade packaging for safe storage and shipping.
- Detailed provenance where available, including studio information and scene descriptions.
- Secure worldwide shipping, insured and tracked for peace of mind.
We believe every collector deserves confidence in their purchase — and that’s why we stand behind every piece we sell.
The Joy of Display – Bringing Animation Art to Life
One of the best parts of owning animation cels is displaying them. When properly framed under UV-protected glass, these artworks add colour, movement, and joy to any space.
We often advise collectors to rotate their displays seasonally to prevent prolonged light exposure, keeping their artwork in pristine condition for generations.
Whether you’re designing a dedicated animation gallery or adding a nostalgic touch to your home office, our framing recommendations and preservation tips ensure your collection looks stunning — and stays that way.
Building a Collection That Reflects You
No two collectors are the same. Some chase iconic characters, others seek rare production scenes, and many focus on specific studios or decades.
At Wonder Bound Art, we help you curate a collection that reflects your personality, interests, and investment goals. We regularly source new items and can even help track down specific characters or scenes upon request.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Bugs Bunny or a modern collector interested in animation’s history, our team offers personalised support to guide your journey.
A Legacy of Art and Nostalgia
Cartoons might have made us laugh as kids, but today, they connect us to something deeper — craftsmanship, creativity, and cultural history. The brushstrokes on a vintage cel are more than paint; they’re moments of dedication from animators who defined an era.
At Wonder Bound, we’re honoured to preserve that legacy — one frame at a time.
When you explore our collection of vintage animation cels, you’re not just buying art; you’re inheriting a piece of animation history that will continue to inspire and delight.
