  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 Originally made during the middle of WW2 and following Snow White, Pinocchio and Dumbo this cartoon must have provided some relief to world weary families.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.

  Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

  £225.00

  “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.

  Trivia: The Special Academy Award given to the picture consisted of one standard Oscar statuette and seven miniature statuettes on a stepped base.

  The Jungle Book

  £195.00

  “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.
