  20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

  £325.00

  “A ship sent to investigate a wave of mysterious sinkings encounters the advanced submarine, the Nautilus, commanded by Captain Nemo.“

  This alternative movie poster by Thai artist Kwow for Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” is a spectacular display of imaginative artwork. Kwow’s impressive artwork beautifully imagines the most memorable action scene from the book and the film as the giant squid attacks the Nautilus and its beautifully complemented by some amazing realistic likenesses of the main cast members – James Mason as Captain Nemo, Kirk Douglas, Peter Lorre and Paul Lukas. If you are a Jules Verne fan, this is simply one of the best pieces of art you can get. Directed Richard Fleischer and personally produced by Walt Disney. It was the first feature-length Disney film to be distributed by Buena Vista Distribution company and is also considered by many to be a precursor to the ‘Steampunk’ genre. Printed on Fedrigoni Stucco Old Mill Premium White paper using 10 coloured inks, this hand-numbered #57/110 screen print displays and presents superbly and is offered in excellent rolled (as issued) condition. Film and alternative movie posters by Thai artists are starting to gain a strong following with collectors, and with artists like Ise Ananphada, Banhan, Kwow and Tongdee Panumas, it’s easy to see why. An eye-catching item of modern movie memorabilia for an extremely popular Walt Disney fantasy adventure film that creates a real ‘WOW’ factor.

  Trivia: In 1969, Captain Nemo’s pipe organ, which had been on display in Disneyland, was redressed and now resides in the ballroom of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion. A duplicate was constructed for the ballroom of  Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion, which opened in 1971, and over a decade later another duplicate was built for Tokyo Disneyland.

  Rocketeer

  £250.00

  “Three years before the United States declares war, The Rocketeer leads America’s first battle against the Nazis.”

  This original 1991 British Quad film poster is a steam punk art-deco delight featuring the incredible artwork of John Mattos. Truly beautiful imagery that’s perfectly suited to the Republic Pulp Serial approach of Joe Johnston’s “Rocketeer”. Based upon Dave Stevens’ graphic comic novel the Walt Disney Studio produced an enjoyable stylised romp set in the early days of pulp comics and superheroes that quickly became a cult favourite. The Advance film poster offered here is by far the most sought after of paper produced for the Film as it’s all artwork with just the title. The landscape format perfectly suits John Mattos’ dynamic super hero artwork.  This unrestored, original rolled (as issued) example displays to excellent effect. Genuinely scarce and highly desirable, not just to film buffs (the art-deco design appeals to number of collectors) this superb piece represents a fantastic piece of desirable film movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Artist and creator of the ‘Rocketeer’ Dave Stevens played the man in the test flight movie, who has the rocket pack strapped to his back (the test pilot).
