Auction History Result 8j874 SIMPLE SIMON LC 1935 incredible Ub Iwerks art, ComiColor cartoon, he's kicked out, rare! Date Sold 8/7/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Simple Simon, the 1935 Ub Iwerks ComiColor animated animation cartoon comedy short (based on the nursery rhyme, but expanding it; after Simple Simon meets the Pieman going to the fair, he does not buy a pie, and the Pieman follows him to the fair and makes his time there miserable!). 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 a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. The card has darkened slightly (as have almost all surviving lobby cards from these Iwerks cartoons), and there is a 1" tear near the center of the top border, with small tears and a crease between them in the left of the top border. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
