One of the most wonderful aspects<\/a> of animation is that fans can literally own a piece of their favorite movie. In the pre-computer era, each frame of a film was hand-crafted, and these images were often sold as collectibles<\/a>. While owning a screen-used movie prop or costume<\/a> is exciting, owning an entire scene is a unique experience altogether.<\/p>\n

Heritage Auctions is now offering this unique opportunity through \u201cThe Art of Anime, Vol. VI,\u201d<\/a> a remarkable collection of original animation art from popular anime series. The auction features pieces from Gundam, Pok\u00e9mon, Akira, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell<\/em>, and more. This particular auction has a special focus on Studio Ghibli, with stunning frames from films like My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki\u2019s Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke<\/em>, and many others.<\/p>\n

You can view and bid on all the items in the auction at this link<\/a>. Below, we’ve highlighted a few of our favorites. Notably, Heritage Auctions made $17 million from animation sales in 2024, so we’re expecting significant interest in this auction. <\/p>\n

According to Jim Lentz, Heritage\u2019s Vice President of Animation and Anime Art, \u201cThis is more than just an auction \u2013 it\u2019s a tribute to the artistry and vision that have made Studio Ghibli a household name. Collectors and fans alike will have the opportunity to own pieces of history from the films that have inspired generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

To explore all 1,200+ pieces in the auction and check the current bids, visit this website<\/a>. The auction will culminate from March 22-24, so start saving up. And if you have $17 million to spare, feel free to reach out to me via DM for my Venmo details.<\/p>\n
