Werker, Hamilton Luske, Jack Cutting, Ub Iwerks & Jack Kinney Walt Disney animated animation cartoon documentary ("Amazing, new full-length feature production"; "Walt Disney's new feature-length surprise!"; "The sensational feature show with a thousand surprises!"; "The big feature show with a thousand surprises!"; "The maker of 'Snow White' and 'Pinocchio' conjures up his supremely unusual! Screamingly comic new creatures! Laughable, blundering live folk, lost in a miracle world! The merriest 90 minutes you imagined could be yours!"; "Sequences in multiplane Technicolor"; a behind-the-scenes look at Disney's animation studio in the early 1940s) hosted by Robert Benchley, and starring Frances Gifford, Buddy Pepper, Nana Bryant, Walt Disney, and featuring the voices of Barnett Parker (in the title role as The Dragon), and Clarence Nash (as Donald Duck). Note that Frances Gifford played the part of a studio artist, guiding fans behind the scenes at the famous Walt Disney Studio! This was Disney's first feature movie which combined both cartoon sequences and live action sequences! Note that Chinese actress Bo Ling was filmed for the "art school" segment of this movie, but it was apparently cut out of the final print, and she did not appear in the movie, although publicity stills with her exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release posters from this Disney cartoon documentary are quite rare. It is probably partially because it was made at the beginning of World War II, and many of the posters were likely destroyed in paper drives, but also partially because it was very unusual for a Disney movie at that time, in that it combined cartoons with live action sequences (which was new in 1941, but became quite common later!). We have only auctioned a handful of one-sheets over the years, and we have never before auctioned an example of the three-sheet! What IS linenbacking?

The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
