While there has been few reports of
any surviving relics from Hot Hero
Sandwich, here’s one that just turned up in my searches, albeit a bit too
late for me to snag them. Here is a collection of cels from the music video from
episode 6 for "Wild Night" by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas that were up for suction.
Description of the auction from the website Heritage Auctions:
“Here's a set of eight hand-colored
Xerox prints from a music video, directed by Al Jarnow. The images are of
rotoscoped women dancing to the tune of “Wild Night” by Martha Reeves (this
cover version of the Van Morrison song was also featured in the hit film Thelma and Louise). These hand-colored
prints are mounted on 12 field animation paper, and used in the video.
Cool-looking sequence! The image area on each sheet is approximately 8’ x 5.25.”
Overall condition is Very Good.”
The auction date is June 21, 2021, before I posted the video for “Wild Night,” which was the first time
it had been seen since 1979, so it is amazing that these cels survived so long.
I have to wonder what other original artwork from Hot Hero Sandwich may still be
lurking out there.
