  Dumbo

  £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).

  Killer Klowns from Outer Space

  £4,995.00

  “It’s Craaazy! … big top … big shoes … big teeth!!”

  If you were looking for a film to define cult classic, and you don’t suffer from coulrophobia, look no further than the Chiodo Brothers’ 1988 sci-fi, comedy, horror “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”. From the incredible Tom Simpson artwork on the British Quad to the premise that a gang of aliens looking like grotesque, colourful circus clowns have come to Earth to terrorise and murder us by cocooning their victims in candy floss, it has everything a cult film fan could want. Regarded as one of the scarcest posters from the period and of the genre, this is a full size 30″ x 40″ (76 x 102 cm) from the very limited cinema release and not one of the smaller posters produced with the same artwork when it released on video in Great Britain. An incredibly hard film poster with very few printed with only an extremely small number to have survived. The U.S. one sheet with bland artwork is pretty scarce and finding this original English poster featuring Tom Simpson artwork is almost impossible.. especially in this excellent unrestored rolled (as issued) condition. It represents one of the funnest and coolest items of original cinematic movie memorabilia we have ever offered for sale…“In Space No One Can Eat Ice Cream!”

  Trivia: The popcorn gun include a compressor inside that would fire real popcorn. It was the most expensive prop in the movie, costing $7,000 and taking six weeks to build.
