This is an original Walt Disney Productions One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Wolfgang Reitherman animation classic, THE JUNGLE BOOK (1967) starring the voices of Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Bruce Reitherman, and George Sanders. This was the last film that Walt Disney worked on, and many critics consider it to be one of his best animated films. A brilliant cast brings to life some of the most memorable characters in Disney history, and the songs and musical score are superb. Terry Gilkyson’s “The Bare Necessities” was nominated for Best Song. The film is inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s story about the boy “Mowgli” who is raised by wolves in the jungles of India. But Mowgli has a mighty enemy in the fierce tiger, Shere Khan, the quintessential Disney villain voiced brilliantly by George Sanders. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition.

In one of the biggest hits of the new era of Walt Disney animation (starting with THE LITTLE MERMAID), a young clown fish disobeys his father’s orders and ends up far from home trying to escape a dentist’s fish tank and return to Sydney Harbor. Double-sided. Unfolded. Very fine plus condition.

Original Walt Disney Productions 1982 Reissue One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Clyde Geronimi and Wilfred Jackson animated classic, PETER PAN (1953) starring the voices of Bobby Driscoll, Kathryn Beaumont, and Hans Conreid. Based the immortal play by Sir James Barrie, this film is one of the best Disney movies of all time and certainly one of the iconic films of the Baby Boom Generation. The Disney version of the story is light and breezy and moves at a quick pace. When Peter, Wendy, and her two brothers leap out of the nursery window and fly over Edwardian London at night, the audience is treated to some of the most charming animation ever created for film. Later parts of the movie are equally enchanting, and the villainous Captain Hook is brought to great comic life by the Disney animators and the marvelous vocal talent of Conreid. A delightful score and a bouquet of delightful songs bring the story to life. The poster is folded and in very fine condition.

Original Walt Disney Productions 1987 Reissue Insert Poster (14×36) for the color animation classic, SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS (1937) starring the voices of Andriana Caselotti, Lucille La Verne, Eddie Collins, and Pinto Colvig. Based on the popular fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, this was the first and by far the most memorable full-length animated feature from Disney Studios. It tells a simple story of a charming princess saved from the evil deeds of her wicked stepmother by a group of seven adorable dwarfs. It astounded audiences when it was released in December 1937 and since has become an enduring family favorite. It won the Academy Award for Best Musical Score, and the next year Walt Disney was presented an Honorary Oscar to recognize the film “as a significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field.” Disney received one regular statuette and seven miniature statuettes. This original 1987 reissue insert poster is rolled and in very fine condition.

1990 reissue Walt Disney Productions Insert Poster (14×36) for the James Algar and Samuel Armstrong music animation masterpiece, FANTASIA (1940) starring Leopold Stokowski conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra and narrated by Deems Taylor. This was the first feature film shown in multi-channel sound, since the music was extremely important to the whole FANTASIA experience. Some critics consider this series of fanciful stories built around seven pieces of classical music to be not only the best animated film ever made but also one of the greatest films period. Certainly this film was one of the highlights of Walt Disney’s distinguished career. This 1990 unfolded insert poster was created for the re-release of the film in digital stereo. For this release the Disney Studio decided to use the original Stokowski recordings, but to process the sound for digital stereo. Very fine plus condition.

Original Walt Disney Productions Six Sheet Poster (73.5 x 75 inches – this is an unusual size for a six sheet) for the Norman Foster family western adventure, DAVY CROCKETT, KING OF THE WILD FRONTIER (1955) starring Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen. The Davy Crockett story rivals the hula-hoop as one of the epic pop culture events in the post-war years of the 1950s. This film first appeared in three parts on the ABC Television program DISNEYLAND. A little known but good-looking Fess Parker, a former University of Texas student, was tapped to play the frontier hero. Davy Crockett became one of the highest rated programs on ABC up to that time – prompting Disney to re-edit the TV episodes into a single feature length film, which could be seen in color. Soon kids and their parents were flooding theaters to see what they had missed while watching the Ed Sullivan Show. Davy Crockett coonskin caps, comics, lunch kits, t-shirts, cap pistols and various “b’ar” huntin’ accessories were seen in every retail outlet from Neiman Marcus to Woolworths. It was a merchandising bonanza. The film itself is very entertaining, and the success of three different versions of the TV show’s song, “The Ballad of Davy Crockett”, impelled Uncle Walt (at last) to start his own record company, Disneyland Records. Parker is seen on the six sheet with his trusty rifle, Old Betsy. The poster’s overall condition: Fine plus condition. The poster was likely never used. There is a 2″ tear in the top of the lower left section (it falls in the background above the first “C” of “CROCKETT” in the title). Otherwise, the poster only has minor fold and border wear and shows some extra creasing at the folds. This first class piece of Disneyana would look great in a home theater with a western motif.

Original Walt Disney Productions Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the family adventure, SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON (1960) starring John Mills, Dorothy McGuire, James MacArthur, Janet Munro, and Tommy Kirk. This is certainly one of the best family adventure films of all time about a settler family who are shipwrecked on a desert island. Disney bought up the rights to the 1940 RKO version of the film and then confiscated all of the prints so no comparisons could be made with the new Disney version. The film grossed over $40 million, making it one of the most successful family films ever made. This original half sheet poster is rolled and in fine plus condition. It has some micro-tears in the bottom border and spots in the upper left hand corner.
