The scene

How Tito ends up like this

Tito is shocked twice in the film. Only the first time leaves him scorched, with his hair blown back into spikes and smoke coming off him.

Tito shocked under the limo dashboard — ABOUT 33:21The limoTito has the ignition wires in his teeth when Oliver knocks the keys and the engine turns over. He is still his normal tan colour.

The scorched Tito after the shock — ABOUT 33:50 TO 34:10The aftermath: this celHe is thrown onto the pavement, scorched dark brown, hair in maroon spikes, still smoking. The colours on the cel match this shot.

Tito shocked at the warehouse fuse box — ABOUT 65:07The fuse boxThe second shock, in the warehouse. He keeps his normal colour and is seen from behind. Not this cel.

The closest stills

Right shot, drawing in between

These are the three nearest stills in the sampled set. Each one agrees with the cel on some points and misses on others, which is what you see when the real drawing sits between samples.

Other signs

What the cel itself shows

The embossed seal reads “The Walt Disney Company”. The studio took that name in February 1986, which fits a film released in 1988.
The smoke is painted on the cel. The plain board reads as one even colour; the smoke varies the way brushed paint does.
The scorched colour model is exact: dark brown body, maroon hair, mauve ear swept back, navy bandana.

To finish the match

What would pin the drawing

Every-frame footage of 33:48 to 34:10. The stills skip twelve frames in every thirteen, and online clips of this shot are too compressed to trust.
A photo out of the mat. The listing photo is cropped to the mat opening, so the cel’s edges, peg holes and back are hidden.
