Marv Newland: International Rocketship

I founds these animation cels online for sale from Marv Newland films from the 1980's. His films are very colorful and have the spirit of animation like the early days of animation. "Sing Beast Sing" was a seen in the Spike and Mike Sick and Twisted Animation festival in the 1980's.
Finding cels like these fro me are like hoping to catch a big fish over many months!

This cel is from the film "Anijam" (1984) and this particuar sequence was animated by Sally Cruikshank (no relation to Don Shank another top animator). She did the weirdest animation I'd ever seen. She is not afraid to take animation to places like the world of early Betty Boop and Koko the Clown. Her sequence from "Twilight Zone the Movie" has creatures stretching in the most bizarro-toon style this side of Never-Never Wonderland.
