Title: Appeal for G1 cartoon production material
Post by: greeby on February 08, 2023, 07:29:17 PM

Good day all.  As I've posted in other threads, I run the Sunbow Marvel Archive.  A "digital library" dedicated to preservation of  material from shows produced by Sunbow Productions and/or Marvel Productions throughout their combined 20 year history.

Obviously included in that goal are MLP N Friends (Sunbow/Marvel) and My Little Pony Tales (Sunbow/Graz).

If anyone has scripts, storyboards, model sheets, background layouts or anything I've not thought of from either of these shows.  And either has scans or is able to scan them and is willing to help, please get in touch.

There was a thread awhile back with TONS of model sheets and production info. Unless someone beats me to it, I'll try and look for it later.

I can't contribute anything but am eagerly watching this thread haha, I've also been looking for model sheets to help with my own animation endeavors :)

yeah, your best bet would be to contact Wildshadow. I don't know anyone else in the community that has any cartoon production materials. (I know other production stuff i.e. cels from the specials HAVE turned up, but I don't think they went to people in the community)

Circa 2013 (according to my file dates) a ton of Katrina and Friends cels/sketches appeared on ebay. I don't remember the seller's name but I did save them. I dunno how to attach them here but I'll upload them to Tumblr soon.

Tailrust posted a great guide on how to post pics on the Arena over here (https://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=403706.0) :)

I remember seeing one cel from Catrina around that time, didn't know there were more! Excited to see the pics!! :)

Here are two pages from the My Little Pony 'n Friends presskit.  I don't think I ever uploaded the others, but I will soon.:)

Oh, Rhaegar, so that's your Tumblr account with all the great MLP cels!  I love seeing them, does my heart good to know some Escape from Catrina cels survived and made it to collectors!

Didn't know you also do have that. But amazing!

Spoiler

Also shouldn't there be like high quality version scans uploads like the press kits?

I mean I know that what Rhaegar posted were actually photos taken but not actual scans.

I mean I know if it's scanned then it reads better.

Sorry for the late reply I don't check the arena that often lately.

Thank you, I'm glad other people are enjoying them. My goal is preservation of all this stuff. I do know who owns the commercial bumper cell but they do not wish to come forward.

I did upload the press kit on here:
https://archive.org/details/20230919_20230919_1900

I have other mlp toy related stuff I'll be uploading on archive which I've already put on my toy tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/yanchagraffiti)

I have many many pictures I've saved from decades of collecting but do not remember the sources of so the non-ebay ones I'm hesitant to put those up.

I know someone managed to snag cels from Tales, but i can't remember who?

Title: Re: Appeal for G1 cartoon production material
Post by: Carrehz on September 29, 2023, 07:40:18 AM

Tales cels were all over eBay a while ago - dunno if they still are - I think quite a few people on here got some?
