Date Sold 12/23/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Movie Trade Ad (measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; * pages) (Learn More) Gulliver's Travels, the 1939 Dave Fleischer full-length feature family fantasy adventure animated animation cartoon ("Based on Jonathan Swift's Immortal Tale"; "Produced by Max Fleischer") featuring the voices of Jessica Dragonete, Lanny Ross, Pinto Colvig, Jack Mercer, and Sam Parker. Note that this movie by the Fleischer brothers (who had had multiple reel cartoons prior to Walt Disney's first feature, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs") was intended to be the beginning of a long series of Fleischer features, but this did not have the success of Disney's films, so that did not happen! Note that Max Fleischer (along with his brother Dave) were legends and pioneers in animated films. They made the very first sound cartoon in 1924, beating Walt Disney by several years. They had great success with their Out of the Inkwell cartoons, Popeye, Betty Boop, and much more, including the Superman cartoons, widely regarded as the finest cartoons ever made! But after Walt Disney made Snow White, the Fleischers made Gulliver's Travels, which did not do well at the box office, and their next major project, Mr. Bug Goes To Town, had the bad fortune to be released two days before the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it also did poorly. At this same time, the Fleischer brothers had a major falling out, and in 1942, they split completely. After they made the last of their Superman cartoons in 1942, Paramount ceased control of their studio. Each of the brothers made a few more cartoons, but their careers were essentially over.

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a large group of trade ads we are currently auctioning, all of which were removed from exhibitor magazines or studio yearbooks. These are far more rare than ads removed from regular movie magazines (because those were sold to the general public, whereas exhibitor magazines and studio yearbooks were ONLY sent to theater owners). Often, these trade ads have completely different images from the posters the studios created, both because they were aimed at a different market, and they were often prepared prior to the movie's actual release, so they might have something different about them! Many of these may not have been printed in any other form since this ad was first printed (and unless otherwise indicated above, it is from when the movie was first released, usually slightly in advance of the movie's actual release). Note that the back of this page has text or an ad for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured that back page because the primary interest to bidders is the ad we have pictured. Condition: very good. The trade ad was removed from a magazine (see above). Learn More about condition grades
