AnimationNation is dedicated to the art behind animation: original drawings, cels, designs, storyboards and other works created in the making of animated films and television.

These works were made to move, but many are remarkable works of art in their own right. They reveal the imagination, craftsmanship and visual intelligence behind some of the most familiar images of modern culture.

Our aim is to give animation art the attention it deserves. We do this through changing exhibitions, research and collaborations with museums and cultural institutions.

We also have a limited collection of comic book art, including works by Disney artist Carl Barks (see above).
