Original Film Roman Production Animation Drawing Lot

The Simpsons – Show EABF17, Scene 31

Offered here is an original production animation lot from The Simpsons, created during production at Film Roman.

Rather than a single animation drawing, this collection preserves much of the creative process behind one animated scene, including original production drawings, layout artwork, effects animation, and studio paperwork used during the creation of the episode.

The original Film Roman production folder identifies the material as:

  • Show: EABF17
  • Scene: 31

A production dialogue strip attached to the folder references Moe's line:

"(Sad sigh) Yeah, that's me all right."

The artwork includes numerous original animation drawings and one stat featuring character animation, rough key poses, in-between drawings, hedge effects, layout studies, camera planning artwork, and several oversized folded panoramic background layout drawings.

These production materials illustrate the many stages required to create a single scene—from early rough animation through layout and effects planning before the artwork was photographed.

  • Original Film Roman production folder
  • Original character animation drawings

Condition

The artwork remains in original production-used condition.

Please review all photographs carefully for condition.


Why This Lot is Special

Most surviving Simpsons production art consists of individual animation drawings or isolated cels. This lot preserves a substantial portion of one complete production sequence, offering a rare look at how a single scene progressed through multiple departments inside Film Roman.

For collectors of animation art, production archives, and The Simpsons memorabilia, this represents an exceptional behind-the-scenes piece documenting the creation of one of television's most iconic animated series.
