If you’re in your 30’s, you’ll remember sitting by the television every weekend to watch this show.

Star Wars: Ewoks is an American/Canadian animated television series featuring the Ewok characters introduced in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. It aired for two seasons between 1985 and 1986.

The series was produced by Nelvana on behalf of Lucasfilm and broadcast on ABC, both by itself and later, as part of The Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour. The first season was advertised as simply Ewoks, but the second season was advertised as The All New Ewoks. The series lasted 35 episodes.

Cels (short for celluloids) are the fundamental building blocks behind all animated film entertainment.  The fluid motion portrayed in a cartoon is the result of thousands of individual original paintings.  Several hundred such cels are required for a single minute of animated film.

Each cel is a complete original, created by a single animation artist.  Each piece is as an original production element as opposed to a repainted rendering or reproduction.
