This item is not a film poster. It is an Original Capitol Records point-of-promotion counter standee for a 78 rpm record album. In the early
1950s Capitol Records produced some “Record Readers” for children. A book was included in the album and kids would “read along” with the
record. Several of these were done, including several very famous ones for Bozo the Clown. And, of course, some for The Disney Company. This was several years before Walt Disney started his own record label, Disneyland Records. This is a wonderful and very rare Goofy, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse item. MICKEY AND THE BEANSTALK was produced as an element of the Disney feature length film FUN AND FANCY FREE (1947). This segment of the movie is a re-telling of the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale. Condition is good to very good. Part of Donald’s cap has been chipped away and likewise the very end of Mickey’s nose. All of this is within easy range of professional restoration. There is some edgewear along the bottom of the standee, which measures 24 x 28.
