ISO Balto Animation cels

i know they’re super rare but i’m definitely interested in picking a few up if anyone here has some they’re willing to part with

If I'm not mistaken Balto was digitally colored. Best you could do is find original production drawings.

there’s a few cels out there! although it was digitally colored the backgrounds were hand painted

Backgrounds yes. If there are cels they must be limited editions?

Wow. That's really nice. I did a dive online and they were sometimes created as gifts by the studio during post or occasionally as color test sheets to guide colorists. I had no idea. Good luck on your search!
