R80s Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian One-sheet Movie Poster (measures approximately 27" x 40") (Learn More) Walt Disney's Fantasia, the classic 1940 James Algar & Samuel Armstrong Walt Disney animated animation cartoon musical fantasy ("Walt Disney's Technicolor Feature Triumph") featuring Mickey Mouse and other cartoon characters created specifically for this feature movie, set to the music of classical composers including Leopold Stokowski, and Beethoven. Note that Fantasia had a very limited roadshow release which took place in several theaters with special audio equipment installed for the "Fantasound" system. This release started in late 1940 and continued into 1941, and these theaters often used home-made displays for the film. Throughout 1941, RKO negotiated with Disney to make a much shorter version of the movie in mono which could be shown in theaters without the need for special equipment. Disney finally agreed, and let RKO create a heavily edited version (he refused to edit it himself) which was released in early January of 1942. Regular posters were printed with a 1941 NSS number (it's not uncommon for films that are released near the start of a year to have a NSS from the previous year), and that is when the film had its first general release. So almost ALL of the known "first release" posters are from the 1942 continuous first release (with 1941 NSS numbers). The only pre-1942 advertising that we have seen are window cards, 8x10 stills and heralds from the theaters with the special "Fantasound" equipment. 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 this week on eBay we are selling 200 Australian one-sheets (almost all from U.S. movies). Note that some of these posters have the same artwork as their U.S. counterparts, but quite a few of them have completely different art, sometimes art that is not found on any U.S. poster or on any other poster from another country! Also note that since the Australian daybill is the most commonly used poster in Australia, one-sheets can be quite difficult to find. So this is a great chance to add rare Australian one-sheets to your collection! Also note that this is an R80s Australian one-sheet for this movie. We are also selling an R73 Australian one-sheet elsewhere on eBay this week. Condition: very good. small "G" rating sticker in the lower right just to the right of the title area. Note that this poster was originally folded. But it has been stored flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. minor creases and scuffs throughout the poster (more so along the foldlines) Learn More about condition grades
