From which Scrooge cartoon is this animation cel?

[Scroogerello]

Saw this (supposed) animation production cel on an old online auction page:
veiling.catawiki.nl/kavels/19437905-disney-studio-s-scrooge-mcduck-original-animation-production-cel-copy-background



The page described it as being from the 1970s, created for a cartoon or TV commercial of some kind, but it doesn't ring a bell for me. Does anyone recognize which production it's from?

I've never seen any reference to ANY Uncle Scrooge animation productions, other than "Uncle Scrooge and Money", "Mickey's Christmas Carol", and the 1955 aborted project for which Barks wrote a scenario script, but no cells were made for that (only a few conceptual flat sketches?).  Maybe this was made for a non-US commercial?

Funny thing is it *does* look like it's from the 1970's… but no, doesn't ring a bell.

I wonder if it could have been an illustration for a kids book? Sometimes Disney would create cel setups for books.

Now that you mention it, does look like the style of the DuckTales storybooks that were printed in the 1980s. I never knew Disney used cel setups for storybooks (sounds like a costly process!).

I found another cel of Scrooge from the same production, but in a slightly different pose, which implies that it might be from some animation, but I still have no confirmation of this and no idea as to where it comes from. I'm guessing that if it truly is from animation as the website claims, it was from a foreign production, as Robb said (maybe German, since the description of both these cel were written in German), and never aired in the U.S.

Interesting.

Scrooge leg is backwords in the second one... Makes you wonder is it from some deledet material for a spot ro something.

It actualy remind me some of the few animations Romano Scarpa did...
