Dragon Ball Z Cel Appraisal

Dragon Ball Z Original/Reproduction Cel Artwork with Background

This item is a framed piece of animation cel artwork, likely a replica or promotional print, featuring characters from the 'Dragon Ball Z' series. The artwork depicts three characters on what appear to be motorbikes or mopeds. The central and most prominent character is Goku, identifiable by his distinctive spiky black hair and orange martial arts gi, who is riding a red and blue vehicle. To his left, two other characters, likely Chi-Chi and possibly a younger Gohan or another companion, are depicted on a light blue scooter. The background is a vibrant, light blue sky with palm trees and what may be urban or suburban elements, including a red and white street sign with the number '25'. The art style is consistent with traditional Japanese animation, characterized by bold lines and bright, flat colors. The piece is housed in a simple, light-colored wooden or wood-effect frame with a white matte surrounding the artwork, providing a clean border. The overall dimensions visible within the frame suggest a standard size for animation cels or prints, which is further supported by the visible text indicating a size of 410mm x 260mm (16.1" x 10.4"). No significant visible condition issues such as scratches, fading, or damage are apparent from the image. The text 'Original copyright cel' suggests it is either an original production cel or a high-quality reproduction authorized by the copyright holder. The 'Broadcast Year: 1989-1996' strongly indicates the period of the artwork's creation or broadcast relevance. The information also notes 'Production Studio: Toei Video' and 'Background image is original,' suggesting the background scenery was part of the original production art. The item appears to be part of a larger catalog, given the page number '162' and additional descriptive text, and is designed for display and collection.
