  £95.00

  “I seen a peanut stand. And heard a rubber band. I’ve seen a needle that winked its eye. But I been done seen about everything. When I see an elephant fly.”

  A beautiful, colourful masterpiece of a poster for Walt Disney’s beloved animated classic “Dumbo”. Originally premiered in 1941 this superb  is from the 1982 re-release in Japan and focuses on the titular ‘Dumbo’. As you would expect from a Disney offering artwork is of the highest quality and colours truly bright and vibrant featuring ‘Dumbo’ in full flight with marvellous border art of the supporting characters; Mrs Jumbo, the Crows, Timothy Q Mouse and the WDP Bigtop Circus (WDP actually stands for Walt Disney Productions. Originallyrolled (as issued) and unrestored this beautiful example presents very well and displays to excellent effect with colourful imagery exclusively created for the Japanese re-release. A fine example of rare and collectable original movie memorabilia for a much loved Disney classic.

  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).
