Day nine brings us our first witch of the countdown (there should be at least two more coming), and I believe the first witch animation cel overall on Branded. This character didn’t have a name in the series as the episode she hails from, Kitty-Cornered, it one of the more Slimer-centric later season 5 mini-episodes…
She’s referred to as Twinkie’s Witch as she’s the owner of a wish-granting cat named Twinkie who in the episodes is knocked off the witch’s broom and lands on Slimer. The spud then proceeds to have his wishes granted causing havoc in the firehouse while the Witch looks frantically for her cat.
When I procured this animation cel I ended up receiving a number of tandem cels that feature the witch flying around what I assume is the corner of a building. Most of the cels were pretty sparse, only featuring her hand or are from her head up (sort of like that Simpsons episode where Bart gets the Scratchy cel with only the floating arm.) But along with the cels I also received a number of fuller production drawings including the one below featuring the witch noticing that it was snowing around the firehouse…
So come back each day this month for a new monster animation cel, and also, for more Halloween-y fun all month long, be sure to check out the Countdown to Halloween website for the complete list of sites participating in this year’s spooky fun. John Rozum has been working hard compiling the list, and it looks like there is a lot of awesome sites already signed up.
