    Bambi

    £45.00

    “Love Comes To The Forest Folk . . . and to you, in one of the world’s greatest love stories !”

    Original British front of house full colour lobby card produced by Walt Disney for their 1982 cinematic re-release of “Bambi” which features the young playful fawn Bambi and his friend Thumper. Originally made during the middle of WW2 and following Snow White, Pinocchio and Dumbo this cartoon must have provided some relief to world weary families. Although initially disappointing box office returns the film went on to become one of the true classics of Disney studios. The film is a coming of age story about a fawn living in the forest and was the first of Disney’s cartoons to feature an all animal cast. Originally flat and unfolded (as issued) this unrestored example presents superbly with amazing vibrant colours and represents a fine example of rare and collectable original movie memorabilia for a much loved Walt Disney classic.

    Trivia: Bambi (1942) was Walt Disney‘s personal favourite of all his animated features.

  • Original Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders Movie Poster

    Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders

    £195.00

    “Batman and Robin of the 1960s live action series are back in action to take down their fiendish foes united once more against them.”

    Long before Tim Burton re-invented him, Chris Chris Nolan re-imagined him and Ben Affleck played him as an older more mature Caped Crusader there was “BATMAN” 1960’s style, as the decade’s most popular TV show was bat-transported, once again to the big screen in 2016 with this hugely enjoyable animated adventure – “Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders” as Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) reprise their roles and add their voices to this glorious retro romp. Receiving a ‘one-night only release’ in cinemas on October 17 the poster that accompanied the screening is a marvellous, colourful feast for the eyes with Batman & Robin (rightly so) taking centre stage. Bright vibrant colours and beautiful graphics, this originally rolled (as issued) example is a great looking poster, that because of the very limited release is incredibly scarce. I am a huge Batman fan (all incarnations) and this is one just exudes fun…A rare chance to purchase one of the scarcest Batman posters ever produced and a magnificent item of collectable memorabilia from an icon of modern pop culture.

    Trivia: The artwork The Joker steals is of a clown that is an obvious nod to the mask that Cesar Romero in the Batman 1960s series and Heath Ledger wear at the beginning of The Dark Knight (2008).

Originally premiered in 1950 this superb Japanese B2 is from the 1982 re-release in Japan and focuses on the famous scene as Cinderella meets her true love, the Prince (although often referred to as Prince Charming, he is only ever called the Prince in the movie).

    Trivia: A very tightly budgeted, scripted and produced film, because Walt Disney needed it to bring in much-needed revenue after the expensive failures of Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940). Final negative cost of Dumbo was $813,000 (making it the least expensive of all Disney’s animated features), and it grossed over $2.5 million in its original release (more than the original grosses of “Pinocchio” and “Fantasia” combined).

  • Sleeping Beauty Movie Poster

    Sleeping Beauty

    £75.00

    “Ablaze With Wonders !…Now the magic moment! Full-length feature fantasy – Beautiful beyond belief”

    Walt Disney’s animated classic “Sleeping Beauty” has been re-released many times after its 1959 premiere but the artwork for the 1984 re-release in Japan is perhaps my favourite, whether it’s the colours or the composition I can’t make my mind – it’s just a fantastic looking poster. A magnificent, visual masterpiece of a poster as the film’s more stylised artwork makes the perfect transfer to paper. Beautiful design and artwork, bright bold blue colour palette and stunning animated imagery featuring Maleficent, Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip makes for an impressive looking poster. Originally rolled (as issued) this presents very well and is a fine example of rare and collectable original movie memorabilia for a much loved Disney classic exclusively created for this Japanese re-release.

    Trivia: For the first time on a Disney animated feature, one man, Eyvind Earle, was in charge of the color styling, background design and overall look of the film, even painting the great majority of the production backgrounds. Earle’s modernistic approach to design and painting resulted in giving the film a bold, unique art style, even though his colleagues did not care for his production methods and art style while the film was in production. The elaborate background paintings usually took seven to ten days to paint. By contrast, a typical animation background takes one workday to complete.

  • Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - (1937 / 1993 RR - Mirror Issue)

    Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

    £150.00

    “Mirror, Mirror on The Wall…”

    Walt Disney’s greatest movie…“Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs“. An extremely rare example of Disney memorabilia. This original US one sheet for the 1993 re-release is the very scarce “Mirror” version. The oval centre actually acts as a mirror because of the foil used to produce the poster (hence apologies for the image…it’s a tough one to photograph) with the border printed to look like a mirror frame. This is movie memorabilia come to life straight from the silver screen to your wall. Originally rolled it displays very well…As with all promotional Disney items the quality is first rate…an exceptionally rare and desirable poster.

    The Jungle Book

    £125.00

    “Meet Mowgli, the man cub. Baloo thinks he’ll make a darn good bear. Shere Khan thinks he’ll make a darn good meal”

    Walt Disney’s animated take on the “Mowgli Stories” of Rudyard Kipling “The Jungle Book”. Re-released many times after its 1967 premiere but it is the artwork from the posters produced since that are probably the best, and that’s certainly true of this 1993 video poster. Offered here is an original British one-sheet poster from 1993 – this was the first time this Disney classic was made available on a video release and to celebrate a totally new design was created. A magnificent, visual masterpiece of a poster as all the key characters make the perfect transfer from screen to paper. Beautiful design and artwork, bright bold colours that because of the high gloss finish, absolutely pop from the paper. Stunning animated action imagery featuring Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, King Louie, Shere Khan, Kaa make for an impressive poster on every level. Originally rolled (as issued) this unrestored film poster presents superbly and is a fine example of rare and collectable original Disney memorabilia for a much loved classic. Undoubtedly one the best looking posters produced for a movie that is an integral part of modern pop culture.

    Trivia: The Vultures were originally going to be voiced by The Beatles. The band’s manager, Brian Epstein, approached the Disney studios about having The Beatles appear in the film, and Disney had his animators create the Vultures specifically to be voiced by the band. But when Epstein took the idea to the Beatles, John Lennon vetoed the idea, and told Epstein to tell Disney he should hire Elvis Presley  instead. The look of The Vultures, with their mop-top haircuts and Liverpool voices, are a homage to The Beatles; one bird’s voice and features are clearly based on George Harrison‘s. That’s What Friends Are For was originally to be done as a rock and roll song. When the Beatles departed the project, the song was rewritten as a barbershop quartet, to make it timeless.

    Transformers

    £175.00

    “The name Megatron was originally rejected by Hasbro for being too scary. Bob Budiansky, the writer tasked with naming the characters, argued that, as a villain, his name should be scary.”

    Hasbro’s Transformers was one of the most popular animated TV shows  and toy-lines of the 1980s. being so successful that it warranted a big screen, cinematic movie “Transformers: The Movie” and then forty years later a special cinema experience developed by Hasbro that combined key episodes and new features with the original voice actors for both Megatron (Frank Welker) and Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) was released in cinemas worldwide for a strictly limited three day screening run.

Totally feel good, original cinematic movie memorabilia for a franchise and toy-line that has weathered the test of time with a series of reimagined big budget CGI Michael Bay blockbusters and is just as popular today as it was when first released.

    Trivia: In 2006, Peter Cullen said, “I kind of modeled Optimus Prime’s voice out of many people I had known over the years, my family especially. My brother was a captain in the Marine Corps, and a very big hero in my life. His approach to serious situations was always calm and controlled [and] authoritative. So my brother is in there. Even my dad, too, [and] former friends who have now departed but are strong in my memory.” The voice has also been compared to that of John Wayne, but Cullen said, “John Wayne was never intended to be the sound, but he did come out every now and then.”
