um. 

Just becuase its not a tiffany lamp doesn't mean 
its not art.  Films are art. Live action AND 
animated films (and tv shows) are art. Some of 
them suck totally and really arent worthy to be 
called art, but they ARE. And some of them are 
truely aweinspiring. Are you saying that Lodoss 
isn't art?

Then all those painters and character designers 
and animators ARENT ARTISTS?

I beg to differ from someone who MAKES animation.

I'm an artist damnit.  It doesn't matter whether 
you make your art in glass, sand, paint or pencil 
or leaves!  It's an expression of your creativity, 
imagination and indefinitely your personality and 
soul if you do it well.

people buying cels must only determine how much 
the art is worth to them. It's a one of a kind 
peice of the artform.

Art fads come and go. An artist who's paintings 
command high prices now, may not be worth 
something in the future.  It's the same with cels.

You just have to determine what the cel (by 
extension the ART) is worth to you.  That's what 
it's worth.  It's a work of art, you determine 
what it's worth to you, and how it speaks to you 
as the viewer, as the audience.

If the audience doesnt connect with the art, then 
its worth NOTHING, except to the artist who 
created it.
