"Ranma 1/2 the Movie: Big Trouble in Nekonron, China"
Viz Video V-RMD001 DVD Title 2 25:28 (Movie 1)
Shampoo cat is crashing down on Ranma-chan's head. Ranma-chan is actually in the water with a weird looking Tatewaki Kuno (cel layer not present) behind them.
This scene occurs after the group, which includes Ranma, Shampoo, Soun, Genma, and others, capsizes their boat. They are pursuing Kirin, who has kidnapped Akane and is taking her to China. Another boat, containing Lychee and her elephant, come along and the group hopes for a rescue. But the elephant throws them all back into the ocean. This cel is from the second time Ranma-chan lands back in the ocean and Shampoo cat comes crashing down on her head.
I purchasied this cel because appearances of Shampoo cat are relatively rare and because the action sequence was pretty cute.
Sometimes the path to locating a cel meanders a bit. I don't much care for Movie 1, so I wouldn't have thought about looking there for this cel. However, I was looking at the very nice Shampoo section of the Hoodies and Raindrops Cel Gallery and came across this cel of a falling Shampoo cat that was identified as coming from Movie 1. It turns out that my cel and the other cel are not from the same sequence, but it got me looking at Movie 1 - something I might not have done for a long time if I hadn't noticed the other cel.
