If an animation “cel” has only one “l,” why do some folks spell it as: “cell?
They’re thinking of the spelling used for a prison cell or ameoba cell, instead of the spelling used in Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston’s Disney Animation, The Illusion of Life. The correct spelling for animation “cel” is “cel.” Folks who use the incorrect spelling often don’t know enough about cel animation, and might have a tough time tricking an audience into accepting their “cellshading” as feature-quality animation cels.
