Disney Animated Animations

We have Disney Animated Animations "Sourcerer's Apprentice" and it needs repair. The Animated Animations in NYC is closed, and so is its website. Does anyone know of a place to have it repaired?

Animated Animations went out of business quite some time ago and finding anyone who will attempt to repair one is pretty difficult. They are not your typical cel after all since they move, light up and talk. The main problem is there is no replacement parts available.
All of their pictures suffer from the same general problem of eventual gear failure. Inside the picture there are several motors, 4 or 5 in the Sorcerer I believe. Each motor has a series of gears which actuate certain movements, they all have a spindle with a small gear on it and this gear splits and breaks causing the picture not to work properly. And eventually they all break leaving you with no more working picture. This is why you find so many on ebay selling for cheap prices. So more than likely yours will need more than one replacement part. So the solution is easy replace or fix the gear, the problem is finding one and someone who will take it apart since they are a maze inside.
I've fixed one before and still have others I am working on, (looking for gears). I'd offer to fix it but I can't guarantee I can find the gears, since I still need a few to fix mine. If you can't find anyone to fix it and wish to sell it let me know. I'll buy it on the chance there are any good gears left that inside I can use to fix others. I was looking on here myself and found another with the same problem.

Batman animated art

We have a Batman the Jokers wild animated artwork that is broken. I would like to have you contact me to either mail it to you to fix it or sell it to you for parts. Thanks

My wife and I have a Pepe Le Pew Animated Animations we would like to sell. It is, of course, not working due to cracked gears. Would you be interested in it?

I have the Wizard of Oz from 1998. It works perfectly. It has the Certificate of Authenticity still sealed and attached to the back. The original box is in very good condition. There are two very small scratches on side of the black outer frame that are barely noticeable.

I also have Tweety and Sylvester. This works perfectly. The Certificate of Authenticity is detached. The original box is in fair condition. There are a few small scratches on the outer black frame but are barely noticeable.

Please let me know if you have any interest in these.

Thank you.

animated animations repair

Unfortunately I own about 13 various animated animations, Disney, Warner Brother and others. They were a terrible investment. They do not operate, and not from over use, possible lack of use.

Anyway, some years ago I found someone who did repairs. You can check to see if he's still available.

Hi, I can now repair any of these Animated Animations pictures. If you don't want to have it repaired and would rather just sell it I will also buy any working or non-working picture. Feel free to contact me at newwavemag at aol dot com
I had to write it out since my post count was low.
