Cels matched to their frame
Each of these came from a real dealer listing and was matched to the exact drawing in its film: by its lines, or by eye on a sharp copy of the film where the cel is too worn for the line test. Every report shows the frames behind it.

What each answer means
Not every cel finds its frame. When you check your own, you get one of these three answers.
The exact drawing is found. Pegbar names the frame, the second and how long the drawing stays on screen. The cel lines up with it to within an ink line, and the drawings either side clearly don’t.
The shot is certain, the drawing isn’t pinned yet. Usually the footage on hand skips frames, and your drawing falls in a gap. Every-frame footage of that shot settles it.
Nothing in the film lines up. That isn’t a verdict of fake. Pegbar says what it searched, shows the nearest frames, and lists what would settle it.
What Pegbar can search today
Most film stills online are sampled, roughly one frame in every twelve or thirteen. That is enough to find the shot a cel belongs to. It is rarely enough to find the drawing, because most drawings fall between the samples.
Every-frame footage is what turns “scene found” into “matched”. The check page matches your cel against every frame Pegbar has, and the library grows one scene at a time.
| Film or show | Stills searched | Every-frame footage |
|---|---|---|
| Robin Hood (1973) | 9,683 | Sherwood camp scene, 83 frames. The check page searches it. |
| The New Batman Adventures, “Joker’s Millions” (1998) | None | The Joker’s gun close-up in the opening robbery, 30 frames. The check page searches it. They come from a web copy, so a drawing that was on screen only briefly could be missing. |
| The New Batman Adventures, “Holiday Knights” (1997) | None | The Joker grinning and pulling his jacket open on New Year’s Eve, 134 frames from a 1080p copy. The check page searches it. |
| Oliver & Company (1988) | 8,208 | Not yet |
| The Jungle Book (1967) | 9,027 | Not yet |
