My husband has also reminded me that rarely was any given frame of animation a single cel; characters, eyes, mouths, anything moving often got its own cel to make it easier to make changes to.

Math gets hard here because it really just depends on what’s going on for how many cels will be used at once, but let’s lowball it and multiply that figure by a 2.5 average for $36k/episode.
