Q: I am in possession of two cels and backgrounds from Ferdinand the Bull. It is my understanding that the originals were lost to the Disney Company due to fire. They are not in great condition by any means, but rather than pay to restore them and sell them, I thought that it might be of interest to the Disney Archives to simply have them back. I see them as being of more value to an archive or museum than to myself!

A: You can contact the Archives at Disney.archives@disney.com. (No original cels have been lost in fires at the Disney Studio. The early cels were not kept because they were on unstable nitrate cellulose material.)
