The Warner Bros, Store was cool in its day. Back in the 90s collecting animation cels was a big trend. Some of them were one of a kind production cels used in actual cartoons, but they cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Then before they died, Friz Freling and Chuck Jones made limited runs of cels, autographed and numbered. A little more affordable, but still beyond most people’s means.
Then there were sericels. Nice looking, not quite as collectible, but for about a hundred bucks, you could reasonably afford one.
Then sometime in the late 90s, the WB store started selling merchandise from Tom and Jerry, The Wizard of Oz, etc. apparently WB acquired some MGM properties. It makes your head spin sometimes, trying to follow who owns what nowadays. Now it seems to be Disney, Universal, and Miscellaneous. Subject to change at a moment’s notice.
