  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 this complete set of all eight (8) is from a 1980s release and contains all of the characters and memorable moments you expect to see. Stunning, vibrant colours, animated imagery includes Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, King Louie, Shere Khan, Kaa, Colonel Hathi. Originally flat and unfolded (as issued) these front of house lobby cards present superbly and represents a fine example of rare and collectable original Disney cinematic memorabilia for a much loved classic. Undoubtedly one the best looking series of lobby cards 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.

  Yellow Submarine

  £195.00

  “Nothing you can make that can’t be made No one you can save that can’t be saved Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time It’s easy All You Need is Love All You Need is Love All You Need is Love, love Love is all you need”

  A rare complete set of all eight (8) full colour lobby cards from the 1999 re-release of the Fab Four’s wacky, animated classic “Yellow Submarine”. The movie was digitally restored with the sound remixed and remastered and given a very limited cinema release in 1999. All of the lobby cards feature some incredible imagery from the movie, with great use of bold design and vibrant colours with the classic Heinz Edelmann image of the titular “Yellow Submarine” as border art. The movie’s style was was a totally new direction for the animation genre & perfectly fitted the mood of the psychedelic 1960’s and The Beatles’ songs it featured. All eight (8) lobby cards are presented in excellent original condition and represents a fantastic item of Beatles cinematic memorabilia; the only problem you will have is deciding which one to display.

  Trivia: The original British version was restored in 1998 for this remastered release in 1999. American audiences finally got to see five minutes of footage that had been cut from the original U.S. version, including the “Hey Bulldog” sequence.
