Uran, Atom's little sister, in her red dress against a painted lakeside background, a production cel marked A2.
The Piece
Uran stands with her head tilted, her spiky black hair and wide eyes drawn in the bright style of the 1980 colour series, before a painted background of green trees and water. Cel and background travel together, as they were shot.
The cel is stuck to the background in places and fastened with staples. Soiling, worn lines and paint loss of the kind usual in studio material may be present.
Astro Boy on Screen
Astro Boy, Mighty Atom in Japan, first appeared in 1951 as a side character in Osamu Tezuka's Ambassador Atom and was given his own series in April 1952 in Kobunsha's Shonen, where it ran until March 1968. Tezuka Productions describes the 1963 television version as the first commercial animation made by Tezuka's Mushi Production and the first Japanese television animation series, broadcast weekly in thirty minute episodes.
Tezuka founded his own studio, Mushi Production, after his contract with Toei expired in 1961, and it pioneered television animation in Japan. Uran is Atom's little sister, part of the robot family Professor Ochanomizu makes for him in the story. More Tezuka pieces wait on the anime and character shelf.
