An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Sinbad the Sailor, the 1935 Ub Iwerks ComiColor animated animation cartoon comedy short (Sinbad goes to a desert island and meets pirates with an amazing treasure; a parrot helps him take the treasure back to his ship). 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. Artist: Ub Iwerks Important Added Info: Note that we have not auctioned this poster for 11 years. However, it is in MUCH lesser condition (see below), so please do not bid on this poster unless you are willing to pay to have it properly restored. Condition: poor. There is major water staining scattered through much of the poster, which is a really major defect. In addition, the poster is quite fragile and there are tears, separation, and small paper loss in many parts of the borders and the folds, and someone put pieces of tape on the back of many of those areas, so do not bid on this poster unless you are prepared to have it restored, because the poster is not very displayable as it is. The staining is more significant than you might think from looking at our image (even our super-sized image), so please do not bid on this poster thinking it is in at all better condition than we make it sound, because we assure you it is not.
