Werker, Hamilton Luske, Jack Cutting, Ub Iwerks & Jack Kinney Walt Disney animated animation cartoon documentary ("Amazing, new full-length feature production"; "Walt Disney's new feature-length surprise!"; "The sensational feature show with a thousand surprises!"; "The big feature show with a thousand surprises!"; "The maker of 'Snow White' and 'Pinocchio' conjures up his supremely unusual!

This was Disney's first feature movie which combined both cartoon sequences and live action sequences!

It means that a talented restorer backed the card onto a gel material, and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, and afterward the card still looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. Many collectors prefer this method of restoration to paperbacking or linenbacking, because with those methods the card no longer looks like it was not backed. Gel backing can't be used with cards that have major paper loss or other major defects, but for the cards it can be used on, it is really an excellent method of restoration! Also 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. What IS gelbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The card had a few smudges, stains, and small tears around the edges. Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card and performed excellent restoration to the above defects. You can see slight signs of the restoration, but the card displays really well!
