An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Little Black Sambo, the 1935 Ub Iwerks P.A. Powers ComiColor black African American animated animation tropical island jungle cartoon comedy short (based on the classic fairy tale; "Processed by CINECOLOR"). After being instrumental in the creation of Mickey Mouse for Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks (full name Ubbe Iwerks) was hired away from Disney by P.A. Powers of Celebrity Productions to create a series of cartoons based on classic fairy tales (Iwerks was able to be hired away, both because he did not share in the financial rewards that Disney obtained from his work on Mickey Mouse and other early Disney characters, and also because Iwerks was barely credited for his work). Iwerks not only drew the ComiColor cartoons, but he also drew the one-sheets (and a 4-card full-color lobby card set) created to promote each of them. Unfortunately, this series of cartoons did not perform well at the box office, and late in the series, they switched from individual one-sheets for each cartoon to a stock poster with different titles printed in the middle. After 25 cartoons, Powers folded Celebrity Productions and Iwerks was forced to return to Disney. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had creases, tears, and paper loss in various areas down the vertical foldline, and in the horizontal foldlines. There were creases, smudges, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was quite nicely backed. The poster's many fold defects were extremely well restored. You don't have a sensation of looking at a lesser condition poster (unless you stare at it from inches away), and yet the poster also does not have a heavily restored look to it. I would think most collectors would be happy to display this extremely rare cartoon poster on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
